Mike, I don't have anything to post here but I wanted to be the first to welcome you as our new Animal and Wildlife Technique Moderator. Your expertise in this area is unsurpassed and your ability and willingness to explain your techniques will be greatly appreciated. I will direct all animal and wildlife drawings here to insure they get the best advice possible. I'm so happy you joined our Artpapa family!

Hi Mike! Its cool you are moderator here. Maybe I will make some animals in the future too. Something without fur
Hi Matti... thanks for the welcome!
So... when do we get to see your first reptile drawing?
I think Artpapa is a great place to be - it's busy, it's not too big and it's a fun home for serious artists - not too much "back-slapping" - just helpful critiquing and advice where both sides learn.

Hi Toby! Thanks for the welcome. I read it three times but still can't see the bit I was expecting..... the bit where it mentions "how do I draw a Bichon Frisee"
Good to see you here Toby.... and Yes, I'll still finding time to write the first book.

Hi Helen! Good to see you here.
You can be sure I won't forget your About.com forum. I still visit most days but if I don't have anything to say I don't say it. Just to prove it I was reading your tutorial on drawing trees yesterday.
Haven't been over here for awhile, but wanted to send my congratulations to you on your new "home" you deserve it! I'm sure this will be a great forum!
Wow! so many new faces around here, and some old ones I'm off to look at what everyone has been up to... c-ya around!
