i’ve been trolling around here for a few months now building up the courage to submit something. i must admit i’ve been a bit intimidated by all the amazing talent that frequents here. Soo…here it is. Hello to everyone. _mark
this panda is from a picture i found online.
Micron pens for the panda and a dip pen and india ink for the reflection. I used Windsor and Newton watercolor travel pack in a pocket watercolor moleskine.

This is delightful! What took you so long? (coming from someone who hasn’t made that leap yet)

Glad you made the leap and keep them coming! Now you will draw more because you want to upload, so this was a great move.

that is great, it is art like yours that made me hesitate at first! What I find is that this is the most supporting group ever. I have learned so much and gained confidence thanks to the people at this site.
Keep them coming

Good to see you on Skineart. It’s a pity you were reluctant to post stuff earlier. Think of what we have missed. Please send more! How about joining us in the Monthly Theme Challenge (see various threads in the “Forums” section). This is a fun, monthly, non-competitive activity which is designed to make more use of this part of the website as well as offering participants the chance to get their creative juices flowing. (Next challenge to be issued tomorrow).
