About the Instructor:
My name is Smercurial, but you can call me Smerc or Rial or even Ri if you're strange like that.
This is my first time teaching a class, so please have patience with me!
I've been drawing on and off several years, but not professionally.  I haven't taken any art classes per say, but i have lots and lots of art books and life experience, if that means anything, lol.
I'm a bit ADHD at times, and usually very energetic.  I wish i could dedicate all my time to this class, but i work (usually between 15-40 hrs per week, depending) so i might not be as quick to reply as i'd like.  

My most active hours are 0800-1200 GMT and 2000-0000 GMT depending on RL work hours.
I'm always open for questions or just conversation; i'm usually on dA if you wanna bug me.
Let's become better artists together!

0800-1200 GMT and 2000-0000 GMT I live in Oregon, so for me, that's 1600-2000 (4 PM-8PM) and 4 AM to 8 AM?

Hmmmm... time zones. Let's see, the internet tells me that Oregon is PST (unless daylight savings times?) which is -8GMT so that's... 12AM-4AM and 12PM-4PM?

>.< I dunno, whatever time it is now to about four hours after now and then again twelve hours from now? Maths was never my strong suit.

Yes, it's PST. In my time, you replied at noon- what time did you reply there, lol?

It was about half eight at night, so GMT is about eight hours ahead? I think that makes sense...
