Self taught.
My grandparents on my father's side both were artists.
So some of this is inherited talent, but I only inherited less than 1/4th my grandfather's talent.
So you liked Amorphous Dreams, and Spinning Free?
Going to have to scan some of my other stuff then, once I figure this new scanner out, and get it to send scanned images where I want them.

Yeah, I liked those. Looking forward to seeing some of the other stuff after you scan it in.

Nice you have it running in the family. My cousin and I seem to have it in our family, but our parents didn't draw and I'm not aware our grandparents did, either, though we certainly got the overall "intellectual" side of our personalities from our grandparents.

I'm self-taught, also. I was inspired by reading comic books as a kid and trying to copy the style. Eventually that led me to read some actual art books :) I've been away from it for a while but I'm getting back into it lately. At this point I can draw in a certain style pretty well but my technique is limited because I haven't learned some of the formal methods. I'm trying to pick up the more formal side of it now so I can expand my range and make something commercially-viable, and also so I can illustrate my books.
