Welcome to the first post in Hollz Does Art - where Hollz teaches herself how to become an artist!
I could never draw. Maybe I could when I was a child, back when criticisms never mattered. But as soon as the first kid laughed at my art project, I stopped all together. I even purposely drew outside the lines to prove that I was not an artist, so no one would expect anything of me.
What a horrible attitude to have! I decided to turn that around a few months ago, especially when I started to get a comic book idea in my head. How could I produce my own comic without connections and without drawing skills?
So here's where I started - my very first drawing:

I wonder if I could have gotten into one of those mail-in art schools with this drawing?
Q-Bert, one of my favorite classics!
Let me know what you think, and I'd love any tips! I'll update with new drawings in a couple weeks.
Total XP from drawings to date: 500. XP needed for next level: 1500.
