# About me

I'm still learning to be an artist... does one ever stop? ;)

Having no prior extensive formal training (just the usual lower school art classes and occasional scribbles), in late 2011 Jon picked up a Wacom, and Painter, and began to learn digital art.

Quickly recognizing the need for some guidance, Jon has since taken classes with Skip Allen (skipallenpaints.com ), Karen Bonaker (karenbonakerart.wordpress.com/ ), and Tim Shelbourne (test.theartistsquarter.com/boa… ).

An active administrator assisting Tim Shelbourne with his site, The Artists Quarter (theartistsquarterblog.com ), Jon continues his artistic growth under Tim's tutelage and the feedback others willingly provide.

I hope you enjoy the artwork!

Hello! Don't forget to check out my scrapbook. I do post some things there from time to time that I don't think belong in my main gallery.

Hey Jon, as a means of getting your art out there more, have you tried considering submitting it to relevant groups/ clubs on DA?

Here's some basic ideas for ones you could join; just make sure to read their gallery rules and upload works into the right folders or it'll get rejected.

Thanks!

I'll take a gander at these in a bit.

I'm a little hesitant to post much to any groups as, well, I still view most of my stuff as rather "juvenile" in nature...

Boy, do I really wanna Intuos4 tablet!!!

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

Spudfuzz In reply to JMunsonII [2011-08-25 02:45:05 +0000 UTC]

No problem.

Actually if you read the rules some groups accept works of all skill levels lol, people have to start somewhere.

Personally I use a bamboo tablet, albiet the larger version. Intuos tablets probably have smoother lines and such but I think at the end of the day it comes down to the person using it and not the technology.

JMunsonII In reply to Spudfuzz [2011-08-25 15:03:43 +0000 UTC]

I believe an artist is only as good as his tools. Having worked with tools of many varieties, I can unequivocally state that better tools produce better work. Now that doesn't mean one can't get by with "lesser quality," as, of course, you readily prove. But, more specifically, I'd be willing to bet that if you had an Intuos4 instead of the Bamboo, you'd be even more awesome than you are already...

Thank you for the links. For now I've stuck my nose in the dragon club.
