I've been drawing since I was little and didn't get really into digital art until I was in 8th grade (granted it wasn't very good at all..^^). Now I'm 20 and I've been doing it ever since then.
I started drawing in more Japanese Animation style, but I've been taking Life drawing classes to improve on anatomy. Nothing like drawing from a real live model. As for Poser, I use it more to help with my digital painting skills than my drawing skills..though maybe I should look into that too..
