Hi!

Carlos Aleman · 07-15-2004, 10:12 AM

My name is Carlos Aleman. I live in South Florida with my wife, Jean and work for a technology company as a web developer.

I've been enjoying this forum for a while. I'm a big fan of Mattelson and others. After 20 years of painting, I've come to the conclusion that I have no sense of color (could explain all the rejection I've experienced). -ha ha:-)

I'm enjoying pencil drawing greatly and look forward to learning much in this forum. Thanks guys for everything you've taught me so far!

(below is a picture of me and a self portrait pencil drawing)

love,
Carlos

Welcome to the forum Carlos!

Welcome to the forum! Your self portrait is very good. I am sure I will never post a self portrait of myself, it is always so hideous!! But yours is very appealing. We pencil artists are few here, but the encouragement and instruction we get from painters is unsurpassed.

Carlos,

On behalf of myself and those "others" I welcome you.

Thanks guys -

Pat, it is I who is the hideous one! :-)
Marvin, I'm glad you knew who the others were!

By the way, if I wanted to post some of my recent drawings -which would be the proper forum?
