Hello everybody!

Hello everybody.

I stumbled across this forums several years ago and just recently stumbled over it again. So here I am,
trying to wake my creative self, which lies buried since my childhood many many decades ago...
I plan to hop in some lite challenges upfront to develop some skills.

Just finished some of your awesome tutorials, thank you all very much! (Atlas Style and Gidde´s Handdrawn Style)

See you there!

Welcome to the Guild! Yes, definitely enter some lite challenges - a great (and fun) way to improve your skills.

I have seen posts mentioning challenges but I'm not sure where they are listed or how they work. Guess I've been too busy looking at tutorial threads, etc...

I will have to take a look.

@Savage Orc: There are two main challenges that run monthly:

1. The regular/monthly Challenge, that runs from the first of the month to the end of the month. These challenges are usually a little more, er, challenging than -

2. The Lite Challenge, that runs from mid-month to mid-month. These are a little easier topic-wise, and a good place to get your feet wet here at the Guild.

There are separate sub-forums for each; check 'em out and feel free to ask (or PM once you have five posts) if you have questions.
