Newbies! Introduce yourself here!
 

We had introduced a minimum post count but that presents a challenge for new people who want to introduce themselves so I've created this thread to help.

Tell us a little bit about yourselves! What excites you? Where are you in this big bold world? What are your hobbies? What brought you here?

I bring art gifts! And a question
 

Thanks Linus!

Hello everyone, BF newbie here, tentatively but eagerly foraying into the wonderful world of chic and chivalrous... or beauty and the beast... I'm not quite sure what to expect, uh.

I had something of a mid-life awakening and eventually ended up here. I'm excited to be here, because I could relate to many of the experiences and stories shared. I've been quietly educating myself on what's out there (I wasn't stalking, honest!).

Despite the wish for a quiet relaxing stroll, my artistic journey has been pressing me to reach out and find answers before my inner confusion sends me mad. It's about making sense of what I want to draw and write about. The community here has made me want to ask you, what do you think about sketches like the ones below? Not technically, but rather, does it do anything for you? Yes, no, kind of, not really? Would you want to see more of subjects along these lines?

[Pic1] :bow: - I don't normally draw this, but for reasons I don't yet understand, I was inspired by this community to.
[Pic2] :heavyweight: - Muscle art is what I usually draw, especially the bodybuilder type. Some people have really strong reactions to this stuff, so apologies in advance if it offends anyone.

I hope this was the right place to ask. If not, please direct me and I'll scoot right there (once my post count lets me). I'm really curious!

Thank you for any thoughts and guidance, and a pleasure to meet you all *bows* Also thanks for the warm welcome by the Chatroom folks where I chillz'ed while waiting to post here.

Mika (or Sam - dubbed by the folks at Chat as a new nick, I like it) :toypony:

Hello Mika! Welcome to the planet. I think you will find an abundance of artistic folks here at our glorious planet. Some of the write poetry, others stories, some take photos and others like yourself draw/sketch. There is definitely a lot to learn and see here so good luck in your journey!

welcome to the planet, mika! :)

Thanks Sleepy! The works here are fascinating, lots of creativity and beauty to enjoy and learn from, some are hilarious. I've tried to find some art that might be similar to what I'm drawing, but am having trouble finding some. I've looked in the Art section, perhaps I'm not looking in the right places. That's why I wanted to ask if any folks here are interested in the kind of sketches I drew, so that maybe I can draw more of it?

Thanks Aishah! :)

Thank you, Linus! This is great!
