#Yes, I'm a gamer too. Est. 1980. ##It started with the Artari 2600. I played it almost everyday for years. From there it went Saga Genesis, Saga CD and PlayStation. I got my first PC in 1997 and have been a PC gamer ever since. Sure, I've had all the PlayStation consoles in the house but have pretty much stuck with PC. ##My first PC online game was Half Life. I played a bunch of Team Fortress. Then it was Soldier of Fortune II: Double Helix. I played Max Payne until Battlefield 1942 was released. From there is was the 1942 mod followed called Desert Combat.

##Thank you for watching my stream. My intention here is to not only show my artwork but to also share the techniques I use to capture the moment depicted in the most accurate way. I hope to encourage anyone who may have the talent or desire to draw by showing what can be accomplished with this media. Any questions about tools or techniques are welcome. ##You'll see that I try to stay with the softer leads when I draw. I like to be able to move and manipulate the media around on the surface as much as possible after it has been applied. You'll also find that I will smooth and blend almost every line after its drawn. I believe this gives the overall picture a more natural appearance. ##Drawing is only a hobby of mine. My life went an entirely different direction and so I support my family through other means. I don't have as much time to draw as I would like. The drawing may take me longer than others but I'll eventually get there. ##Thanks for watching. FLIES

###Please join the Discord and talk with others watching the stream. There's a pretty cool group of people that frequent this stream. Many are streamers themselves and love to talk shop. There's bound to be adult conversation in there as well so, 18+ only please.

##I'm new to Instagram but I will be using it quite a bit going forward. Make sure you follow this one.

###I'm here to not only show my work but to also help those that are trying to learn the craft. I look forward to sharing my techniques with anyone that is interested and if this channel improves your hand or inspires you to draw more that's payment enough. However, if you'd like to help with the cost of supplies, tips are welcome but by no means expected. ##Thank you for watching.
