History of My Hobby

Hello, I'm ricky312. I have always enjoyed drawing. My drawing subjects reflected my interests at that specific time. first it was spaceships and planets then when the movie twister came out (which despite what every one says is the coolest movie)I drew tornadoes and things flying through the air.  At about the same time I was introduced to the game Myst which through its computerized graphics I was able to learn basic perspective and shading.  By the time its sequal came out I was ready to get a piece of  the 3d graphics software used to make the game.
I started with a simple program called bryce hoping I could build a myst-like game. It alowed my to develope a basic understanding of how to model my scene(a task I'm still learning) give shaders to each object, light the scene then render it. As my interest faded from myst I began drawing landscapes and now abstract realism (like a blob thats shaded realisticly for example.)and as my interests turn to a new subject I am sure of one thing: that I will never get tired of drawing or rendering.
