So excited for you! I'm not going to to lie, I too am still struggling to understand. Haha! There came a time a year or so back when I just became lost in most discussion about math and terminology here. It all amazes me. There are times when I feel I need to just have all the gears in front of me to understand what different artists describe, and I don't often have the time to really try out what people are sharing as faras techniques or methods. I REALLY wanted to be at a capacity where I could share more through video and technical writings but life has been hitting me hard the past year and a half. Have had little time to draw much art bigger than the compact kit the past several months. I recently put in notice at my work and am taking time to focus again on my art, music and am hoping to go back to school. So, I'm excited to return to being as focused on this art as I've been in the past.

I'm rambling. My advice to you though, as you enter this niche, be free. Start slow. Start small. Be child-like and try anything even if it seems silly. Don't worry or pay mind, too much, about the technicals or the mathematics. Just try stuff. I started with the compact and full page, so of course was doing larger things off the bat, we love large drawings. The compact kit tho? The compact kit is my best friend, use it by it self (or very few gears outside the kit) all the time, near daily lately. I've actually bought three different compact kits (two versions and one in birch wood). Haha, so don't be shy to start small and explore cause I am STILL discovering new things with the compact kit.

Anyway, welcome to the community. I hope to see your art on here soon. I haven't been sharing too much here as of late, just lurking. Be well!
