The Art Galleries corner is actually one of, if not the most favoirite part of each forum I am at. I love traditional drawing and painting, aswell as viewing other people's creations. If asked, I critique others' art. However I know some people are uneasy with critique, especially afar from sites dedicated only to showcasing your art.
I also have been trying myself in watercolour painting recently.
Back on the subject, I've been drawing from over 11 years now and not only it's my passion, but sometimes my work aswell. University however has made me limit my time I dedicate to it. During the last 2 years 90% of my art has been done as tasks for my university.
Here are some examples of my artwork, all of it can be seen here:

I draw still life and open air paintings, fantasy art and hyperrealistic drawings, I help myself with the drawing grid for the latter.
