Hey everyone, call me Giffy. My real name is mark if you couldn't tell from the pictures I made. I'm 18 years old. I don't have a hobby nor do I have any outstanding interests, so my conclusion is that I lack personality. The reason I joined SA is because a couple of people from my school have stuff on it and there was a picture laying on my desk that I was wanting to show people. A long time ago (when I was 6) I had to chose between taking art lessons and piano lessons and I chose art. Then I wound up taking pastel lessons for 5 years in some old lady's basement. When I finally managed to quit my pictures still weren't very good and any improvements since then were probably self taught. As far as my drawings go I'm not much of a fan for anime style drawings with big eyes and oddly colored hair but I enjoy looking at drawings that look realistic. I'm far too lazy to color any of my pictures so I just shade them in. I am incapable of drawing something from my imagination or memory but it's easy for me to draw something if there is a picture of it in front of me. If you ever want to talk to me look at my email address in my contact info.
