This is the place where you can personalize your profile!
But, how?
By moving, adding and personalizing modules.
You can drag and and drop to rearrange.
You can edit modules to customize them.
The left side has modules you can add!
Some modules you can only access when you get a subscription.
Some modules have options that are only available when you get a subscription.
We've split the page into zones!
Certain modules can only be added to certain zones.
"Why," you ask? Because we want profile pages to have freedom of customization, but also to have some consistency. This way, when anyone visits a deviant, they know they can always find the art in the top left, and personal info in the top right.
Don't forget, restraints can bring out the creativity in you!
Now go forth and astound us all with your devious profiles!
So, I drove all the way down to Whole foods on Hampden to try and get a bottle of wine from Maynard James Keenan. I did it spur of the moment. I drove through at least 2 hours of rush hour traffic only to find out the tickets to purchasing a bottle of wine from him for today and tomorrow have been handed out. The line was very long looked like something that belonged to a concert. THe girl that I asked about it that worked there was really nice though in hind sight maybe I should have talked with her more, lol.
Sorry this is so late, but you always make the most intriguing revelations about yourself.
Yes, it is so hard for artists to meet new people sometimes. I guess, unless you go into some collaborative form of art, such as commercial art or advertising, drawing and painting are done alone. Most artists are loners to some degree. Did you ever joing that class?
I would bet your skills are probably just fine. Most of my sketches look like crap (only some capture the moment elegantly, which is what a good sketch is supposed to do) until I work them up into finished drawings.

Don;t worry about late replies you and I both have plenty of things that we can do, right?!
I haven't gone to that class. I think I'm hesitant because I want to get involved with a younger crowd; I had that at art school but it was the right type of crowd. I wish I would have went ofr a painting/illustration degree rather than an animation degree.
I'm getting more social; I'm at that point where I'm going to try and use my degree to get a regular steady job right now. I'm frankly not interested in having so much alone time for now.
I'm not very good at life drawing which is why I need to go check out a session even if I just keep it as a hobby.
I'm really self-taught. At about the age of 11, I started with surrealism of sorts. I wanted to improve the look of my arts, so I went on to teach myself photorealism when I was 13. It wasn't until I was 19 that I had some formal training at university. I had a great prof and picked up lots of painting techniques and experience drawing nudes, etc. I was pretty good for my age, but I feel the lifedrawing/painting really added to my abilities and my style...
In my experience, the traditional approach (learning to draw and paint from life) works best for most people, whether they go into cartooning/ graphic art/ illustration or fine art. The main difference between attempting to learn life drawing and painting on your own and joining a class is having the models available to you, the instructor's feedback and being able to see where you fit with your classmates, in terms of ability and style. I can see how it would be uninspiring for you, if the class was a bunch of older, hobby artists. Some universities let you come back part time or audit courses, go back for a second major, but if you're itching to get out there an make some dough, trying to teach yourself might be the best option.
There are some helpful books and websites on both life-drawing and painting. Still life and nature studies, the most boring of all exercises, are probably the best way to teach yourself to draw manmade and natural objects. One prof I had, brought in a pile of laundry for us to sketch!!! I used to spend hours drawing my own hands, feet and my face in the mirror. I also drew my friends, family members, classmates... anyone who would sit still for long enough at their desk or in front of the TV, etc. As for the artistic nude... Mostly you have to strip down in front of the mirror and draw yourself, or convince a female friend to model for you... It can be done.
You have both cartooning and fine art skills... I think you'd feel better at both if you did a bit of lifedrawing whether you take a class or attempt it yourself. If you decide on the latter, I'd be happy to critique your efforts here.

HEy I just wanted to say thank you for the response. I've been very busy and haven't been around the internet. There's a couple interesting life drawing sessions around downtown I just have to get my car fixed up; had a small rear end accident. I talked to a gallery owner down town who runs kind of a hip joint to it looks like next to a film society cafe/restaurant. I'm going to stay creative as a hobby right now and see where it can lead.
My pleasure! I worked just to make some money and kept art as a hobby when I was your age. Eventually I ended up working in the arts. Then I took a long break to raise my kids and returned to art as a job when they could tie their own shoes. With all the time and love you've put into it so far, art will always be a part of your life.
