Been drawing ever since I can remember (my mom says I drew "anatomically correct" stick figures when I was two ... LOL). No real "formal" training other than a summer class at an art museum when I was a kid. I've worked with oils, charcoals, pastels, watercolors, clay, porcelain, and probably other stuff I can't remember. But once I saw that you could do all kinds of stuff on computer, I haven't looked back since. I've been into digital art since 1991 (remember ZSoft PC Paintbrush for DOS and Fractal Design Painter running on Windows 3.1? Boy have we come a long way! Once I got my hands on Autodesk Animator and 3D Studio Release 2 (before the Max days) that was all she wrote. My art took on a whole new dimension, no pun intended. 8-)
