Are you a professional artist?
Kim,
No I am not, but I have always enjoyed drawing a little. When I could find the time while on vacation I would practice a little and draw at the eyepiece of a telescope. Lately during the last year I have been trying to improve my drawing skills. I got a lot of help in the sketching forum from the nice folks over there. You will be amazed at how well those ladies and gentlemen can draw.A friendly helpful bunch of folks. There are some great tutorials at the top of the page.
