Hooked on digital, Noob alert!

How you all going,

Im sort of dabbled tiny tiny wee bits for years in photography / graphics and now Ive decided I love it and got more spare time to get myself into it. Found you guys through good-tutorials.com, and seemed like one of the best forums for graphics I've came across yet!!

Im actually from scotland, 24, mechanical design engineer, do alot of 3d design although on a different kind of level. I remember when I was a kid I got a copy of bryce 3d and I was mega impressed and ever since then I have been hooked on digital art, and wanted to learn more and more. this seems like a helluva good plce to start....

I'll be about here everyday now probs, lurking, reading, learning, and getting some tips off you guys!

Hi to everyone!!
