As is developer tradition, and not to step too far out of comfort too soon, here's a typical "Hello world" post.
I've always dreamed of being able to draw, especially for graphic illustrations. Maybe fan art, hopefully one day my own original creations. I've craved a creative outlet and I've finally decided that the best time is the present. I feel like I'll better keep myself honest and moving forward with this if I make something like a blog to track progress, so this is that. I tossed together this website on Webflow so I can basically ignore the website side of things and focus on just posting about my progress.
Here's hoping I don't spend too long customizing the site, as is my tendency...
I recently purchased an XP Pen 15.6 Pro, and have also signed up for an online self-teaching art course. I felt like this combination would get me a solid start, and at under $1000 (had a coupon for the course, and got the tablet second hand) it's a far cheaper solution than, say, going to college/university. I've always learned best at my own pace anyhow.
If you like what I'm doing and want to talk about it, hit me up!
