Digital Sketches Digital Portraits Digital Paintings I regret to say that I do not take requests. About Me I started drawing at an early age. I learned a few things from my parents. They only have done cartoonish sketches and doodles, but that was enough to spark my interest. I remember sitting with my grandmother at the kitchen table and drawing stick figures. We would then color in the scenes together. In third grade, my art teacher noticed my talent and suggested that I study down in Disney through a summer program. Being so young, I was scared and ended up not going. A choice that I kind of regret now that I’m older. I learned a lot from my high school teacher, which I only took for one year. She was tough, but I learned perspective drawing and patience. Other than that, I am mostly self-taught. Drawing is one of my hobbies. Just recently, I learned about a free program called Krita – which is an art program similar to Photoshop, Painter, etc. With a borrowed tablet, I have now entered the digital realm of art. I have (unfortunately or fortunately, depending on how you look at it) become addicted to it. Thus, here I am today, making art for this blog and my enjoyment. I appreciate any likes, reblogs, and/or respectful comments.
