About me
https://www.artstation.com/albertomoldes

Intermediate level stucked artists, 'formal' art education (fine arts) was a waste of time.
Long periods without drawing (YEARS), minor expirience freelancing. Very bipolar expirience with art.

Have used online resources but not so much communities or active help.
Tldr, 30 yo now. Secondary hobby on economics kinda bailed me out gud, lifting and unfucking life without stressing about going broke now.

Open to feedback and art frens
Willing to PAY for dedicated MENTOR (Marc is busy), for consistent Reviews/Feedback/Advice/Direction / Moral support xD

Welcome to the forums Alberto! Your work is quite fantastic already! I am a beginner myself so I will have little to offer you in terms of critique but I can be a pretty decent cheerleader at times so definitely I can't wait to see your improvement. One thing I have heard Marc say to artists at your level when they join the feedback sessions is to approach the program as if you are a baby as if you know nothing. Really absorb it all in from the beginning. Take your time with the fundamentals even though its very clear yours are already very strong. If you are looking to get into the feedback group check the site every day, he opens the feedback about once a month. Set up notifications so you will be alerted when it goes on sale. When I was going for it I downloaded a browser refresher that would update it every 5 mins and took me about 30-45 days before it opened. Welcome to the forums!
