I dabble in it, but I don't really have any skills. My painting skills lie in stenciling, and set designs...
Anyhow, I decided to take a studio arts class this semester though, so maybe I'll get around to painting more often?

Wow, you guys are all amazing! I have really wanted to get into painting for a while, and I am now feeling inspired...
(To head off to Michael's or not, that is the question...)

I haven't painted in a while, cos I left all my supplies back in Vegas when I moved. I love doing it, but I'm not so sure how great I am at it. Since I'm not so confident with my skills, I generally use the cheapest stuff possible. I use canvases and canvas boards, and the acrylic paints that are like a dollar a bottle. Sometimes I use India ink or will add details with paint pens. As for canvas sizes, I don't go over 8x10, and most of the time it is more like 5x7. Here are a few examples: A sacred heart based on some dude's tattoo I saw on the internet. The scan is horrible and unfortunately my ex kept the painting so I can't get a better picture. I used really rich, dark colors for it. Blown India ink and acrylic

I do some dinky things sometimes, cupcakes and zombie brains. Nothing really good My brother paints really well. He's doing an awesome Vampira for me at the moment. I've been trying to get him on here to show off.

Blown India ink and acrylic LOVE the texture and colors in this one. LOVE IT. And yeah, I'm the same way with my materials too. I was born to an art student, so I've always had that starving artist kind of mentality...

I'm a big fan of watercolours and calligraphy/drawing inks. I prefer to use my pen's and pencils, but you can't beat a bit of colour at times; Drawing inks with pencil shading.
