Hi I usually prefer folk to call me by my online handle which is ScarecrowMoth. This will be my 3rd attempt to try the Art School. 1st time actually doing the first step of making a topic on it. I plan on doing it on the daily this time around rather than sparingly, which led to me loosing my footing and motivation to continue.
I've been into Art for as long as I can truly remember be it drawing characters from shows I'd watch, making my own yugioh cards, or creating comics with friends. I do remember distinctly getting into art because I read a lot of newspaper comics such as Calvin and Hobbes and Far Side Gallery. Since then tho I took a couple art classes and doodled my way through HS really.
I now use and a want to improve art to truly show people how my experience in life has been since I have a unique one to say the least. Not that is was extravagant in any capacity but I struggle with many mental illnesses the main being Paranoid Schizophrenia, which I was unaware of until a few years after school. I've learn to deal with it now but can no longer work and why I can truly tackle the Art School now. I had a hiatus in art and came back around the time I started my mental health journey. Using it to document things like hallucinations but only at a novice level and want to truly learn how to properly express myself through Art so others can finally get what I've been dealing with for years. Also to draw goofy little guys too but main goal is self expression.
I also have Scopophobia/Onmetaphobia so my art may lack in eyes. I dont like them and don't draw them if I dont have to.
