Hi everyone,
I'm new to the forum and new to the hobby. I have been absolutely blown away by what I've seen of the painting in the contests hosted here. I joined in the hope of leeching as much knowledge as possible from everyone by being a more silent, than active, participant; at least until I get my footing. I have looked online for tips for beginners, but most methods and tips seem to be of the more advanced variety. That being said, I have learned a lot both from this forum and others. Applying the techniques I have seen turns out to be a lot different than witnessing them. I am eager to use these techniques effectively, however, and even more eager for the eventual absorbtion of them into my own style (if I even have a style yet). But I welcome any links, help, advice or personal anecdotes that can help better develop my meager skills to the point where these more advanced methods can be applicable.
So this is me. . . begging.
James
