I have been drawing since a young child, and have always tried to improve my skills - although truly I don't believe you can ever "perfect" your art as you yourself are usually your own worst critic!
I graduated in 2003 from the commercial and technical art program at South Central College in Mankato, MN (USA) - and have spent my free time since by trying to expand on those skills and broaden my horizons as well. Nothing else helped me more than when I got my Wacom tablet, and although I have yet to truly explore all the extra features of it - find it much easier to create directly onto my programs than before, when I used a mouse!
I currently do freelance work - both in graphic design and illustrations - and if interested, you can check out the rest of my work at artwanted.com/laurabaker or through my store at cafepress.com/forgottenforest
I am always open to critiques, good or bad - (one of the best forms of learning) so feel free to leave comments on anything if you wish :)
