My name is Sam and I am not an artist. For most of my life, I've struggled to create anything more impressive than a stick figure when it came to my drawings and being surrounded by friends possessing amazing artistic gifts hasn't helped.
Well, eventually, I finally snapped. I decided that I didn't want to be a terrible artist anymore and dedicated myself to a daily drawing challenge. This has been going on Facebook since 10th May 2014 and now I'm moving to DA to get more advice from more artists. I've managed to pick up a fair number of skills since it began but I'm always looking to improve, always spotting mistakes I've made, always thinking about how I could improve... and improve I intend to.
I'm not aiming to become the greatest artist in the world. I just want not suck at art.

When Sam is not being overly-dramatic, he's usually asleep. Entertainer at a theme park by day, writer and amateur games designer by night, Sam love creating worlds and playing the fool. He enjoys classic rock, old school RPGs, and brushing his lusciously long hair.
