[beginnering]

Hello everyone
I don't believe I've properly introduced myself.
I am 18 and from Holland (you know, the place with the big redlight district, Tulips, weed, van Gogh etc. etc. (capital is Amsterdam)
Ive always liked to draw, but never actually made big progress in my skills.
Simply because I thought that in time I would develop better skills (something like growing in lenght when you get older ). I've noticed it's not that easy, and it needs a lot of practice and knowledge to become good at drawing etc.
So i am a 1th class noob who just has 2 digi-pics finished
I've bought recently 'The new drawing on the right side of the brain' (haven't had time to begin yet) and printed a few tuts so i hope I'll make some progress. I think good critics will help to, so please give some!! (as far as possible)
