I've always liked art and I would consider myself artistic and creative even though I'm not particularly skilled in any medium. I've worked in construction and I am a woodworker. I love to build, troubleshoot, and fix everything. I would also consider myself a jack of all trades. If I'm interested in it, I'm going to learn how to do it. I'm currently interested in hyper realism with colored pencils. But before I learned that, I wanted to learn how to draw. So I'm taking my first course, learning how to draw with graphite. Once I have developed a skill base with graphite, my plan is to introduce colored pencils, markers, pastels, Etc. So far I'm really enjoying what I have learned from the course.
