Firstly: I am realizing that dA is a community, and I began trying to join groups this week.
Automatically accepted is fun, but a submission of artwork reviewed and accepted is MORE fun!
Thanks, DCSexyFemales!
Also, by looking around more, I did less actual drawing.
Plus, it's discouraging to think some art rejected is because I haven't got (and can't afford) a colouring program or a working scanner. (I think photos of my amateurish pencil crayon scrawls hold me back).
Well, that's for the future. Thanks again.
