Hi my usrname is Elowen, my real name is John Yates. I turned 18 last august 1st and I've just reacently picked up interset in anime/manga.
I belive it was the week before last taht I first started looking into this style of art and animation. It wasn't much later that I started to learn how to draw anime. Not to brag but, I succeded at just about all the tutorials the first day. Of course the only things I tried were the head, eyes and face, and hair. The head gave me alittle truble at first but I pretty much got it down on the third try. I can draw the hair, but my styles are terrable. The eyes barly gave my any trouble at all. I think the only reasion that I was able to learn that fast was because I have been improving my artistic talent (which still has alot of room for improvment ) since the 5th grade.
Although I didn't start drawing humen for fun till last year I picked It up pretty easily. all the portaits I was forced to draw turned out aufull. The first person I drewfor fun was a portiat of Arwen (Liv Tyler) that I copied from a book mark.
I also have worked alittle with 3d animation and modiling.
