I'm N.L., 18, from Canada, in grade 12 at a French high school. Graduation soon! Yay! Anyway, I'm primarily a writer (published poet (in English), and currently working on my second novel (which I love)), but I also love to draw as a treasured pastime. Drawing is sort of my therapy - I do a lot of it particularly when I'm stressed out. Also, I started drawing a lot more once I got really into my novel. I draw its characters (who I love), to get a good mental image of them.
I'm not a particularly serious artist, as in I'm not planning on doing this as a career, but I do take my art and love of drawing seriously. I expanded on it by taking four semesters of visual arts in high school (every course available) with the best teacher ever, Mr. Marc. I'm also told I have a lot of artistic talent, and that I should put my stuff all in one place (hence why I'm here). I will, but only my more recent stuff.
So yeah. Basically, my style is realistic mixed with a little bit of manga (I drew exclusively manga in my four years of middle school), and dark (to complement the general mood of my novel). I accept critiques. Encourage them, even. Just don't expect my stuff to be all glossy and photomanipulated and all that. I draw for fun, not for perfection. Before posting them, I run them through PhotoPlus and adjust the tone, brightness and contrast. That's really it. Anyway, hope you like my work!
