This is a new life project for me. For my entire life I have avoided art, ignoring the joy it gives me. All of this was done for other people. To do what I thought they wanted, to accomplish the things they thought I should have and be. From now on it is all about art. The greatest treason one can commit against oneself is to deny that most noble of man's abilities, the power to create.

Hi all, I just thought since I spend so much time here I would tell anyone who stops by a little about myself. Ok, skips all the boring bit about being a student and what I study to get to... I want to learn how to speedpaint! I admire the work of cellar-fcp (https://www.deviantart.com/cellar-fcp) sketchbook (https://www.deviantart.com/sketchbook) artbytheo (https://www.deviantart.com/artbytheo) David-Holland (https://www.deviantart.com/david-holland) leventep (https://www.deviantart.com/leventep) and so many others SO much it really is almost too much. Anyway, if you know of some awesome tuts, or have any advice for a want-to-be artist please drop me a line PEACE (is the only way)

So I just got into photography a couple of weeks ago. I was browsing this site and came across a tut for HDR and was instantly hooked. Looking for tips and tricks of the trade (for one thing I have no idea how to attack camera info to the pics I post here). Also, how do you add a circular gradient to a layer mask?
