only 17 and with a portfolio like this??? WOW... I cant wait to see what happens as you develop your skills.. Your work is already very good.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
haha thankyou , i didnt really think of it as being that good for a 17 year old,, main problem is time. i have no time to do any work coz of school
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
An artist never has time.. he makes it
I have always spend at last an hour or two drawing in the evenings. Even if its during a TV show or escaping to a room where no one would bother me. I have a few drawings I created at 17 and so believe me.. you are good. Keep it up and never be afraid to take your next piece of art to the next level. Always challenge yourself!!

yeah man im so passionate about it and enjoy drawing portraits i always make time, but get spanked by my parents coz i got exma haha, not literally but.. i learn from each drawig i do its great

Yea... school comes first, my friend! LOL
I used to get into trouble for drawing too when I should have been doing other things.. like today i should be mowing the lawn but just finished working on the layout to my new Male Figure drawing book.
Feel free to keep in touch
