Very impressive. How long ago was high school, and what have you been doing since?

I think my last year was '99..
follow my posts, you'll see what I'm doing:)

These are excellent man... Beats the hell out of anything I was doing at the same time. I can't wait to see more.
And since we both finished with High School the same year, I think its safe to ask...

Remember this one?
I'm still waitin' on that sweet hit of Edge, but none of my drug dealers seem to know what I'm talking about. ;)

Nice Drawings Indeed.

what age are you now?

[kissb]

thanks for everyone, I'm glad you liked them.
I was 16 when I started to draw regulary, I began with drapries, only a few studies, then I started with the portraits.Most of my early portraits ended up as dust and ash, 'cause they were horrible.I was in a dormitory, and I only went home once in every 2 month, because we had school on saturday and sunday as well.I've got a key to the schools drawing studio after a while, when they figured that at least I'm not making trouble when I'm drawing, so I was spending there most of my time.I think it took 6 month to get somewhere with the portraits, I did insane amount of selfportrait, because it was hard convince people to spend their precious sparetime with sitting for me..most of these portraits were done when I was 18 I'd say.I'm 27 now.And I still can't draw a cube I think:D

Now that's funny. ;) If you would like to get into perspective, I just posted a tutorial on it. The link is in my sig.

Truly inspirational. I'm a freshman now. I hope by the time I'm a senior I can draw as well as that...
