Hello all.
Pardon my...pure ignorance on how to handle these things, I'm doing my best.
Intro, go:
Well, I've been drawing and generally making art for the past 17 years. I started compiling somewhat of a portfolio [aka my digital backup] about 8 years ago.
Expression through art is what got me through adolescence. Without support, adult issues forced a change in priorities.
Anyway, I'm starting to realize that life doesn't slow down. Yes, I have to prioritize surviving, but that doesn't mean I have to give up what I care about. There will never be a "right" time, so I figure I'll just have to jump in.
I'm an artist, I dream of being an animator one day. I like to experiment with different styles and mediums. I'm still learning, and I think that's okay too.
Thanks for listening, I tried to keep it concise. Glad to be here.

Yeah I also often catch myself waiting on things in hopes that the future is less busy and that I'll have more time. Very cool drawing underneath. Welcome to Newgrounds!

I'm glad to not be alone in that boat then haha
I'm happy you like the drawing, and thank you for the kind welcome too
