Hello, I'm Linco. I'm 22 year old guy who seems to be starting a lot of new things at once, but mainly learning art and getting myself out there. I feel like I have remained kind of in a bubble for a lot of my life, I've always had an interest in drawing when I was young but set it aside for academics.
Now that I've gotten a BSC in Physics, maybe I am having a quarter-life crisis lol. Or maybe all the schooling has given me huge burnout. This summer I started to slowly inch my way back into drawing and art and reignite that childhood passion (that I'm sure all of us have had! Drawing seems so viscerally engaging to the young mind).
Here's the latest digital art thing I did, "awkward first movie date"
This was not at all inspired by real life... I am as cool as a cucumber.
I am still going back to school, but this summer I've taken art a lot more seriously, studying anatomy/gesture/light/colour (basically all the fundamentals every established artist tells you to study). I make sure I do at least 30 minutes a day, and I've been keeping it up for 53 days so far (there's a cool website called quickposes that helps with practice and rewarding consistency in drawing!)
Ontop of just creation of art, I decided to start sharing my hobby despite being a very private person. I'm normally the lurker on forums that never posts anything (maybe this is quarter-life crisis again). Steem so far from my 2 hour experience is a bit nostalgic, I normally just read reddit but never really felt attached to any particular community. It seems more tight-knit here, and the idea of blogging never really occurred to me but it does seem helpful for self-reflection. The cool thing is in my Physics degree we have used markdown and LaTex so the images and how to write these blogs seems familiar but also evoke PTSD... just kidding.
So I'm excited to be here, I'm hoping I can find a place to belong (although all these copy-pasta comments on new post do scare me a bit haha). Thanks for reading!
