I’ve been drawing ever since I can remember. It has always been something I really enjoyed doing. I have spent so much time drawing silly comics of some characters I’d come up with or drawing fan art of my favourite cartoon characters. I got my first tablet when I was 15, so that’s when I started drawing digitally. I never took any art classes. I’ve been teaching myself almost everything I know about digital software and art. After graduating high school I decided to study graphic design. I thought it had the potential to be fun, and I liked well designed things. Studying graphic design has taught me a lot about many art related things so far, but learning how to paint digitally and developing my current style is something that I did on my own. I mainly find my inspiration looking through other people’s work on the internet. It’s usually Pinterest, where I save interesting artworks from other painters, photographers, animators etc. I also play a lot of video games which are a source of inspiration too.
