Biography
I have been interested in creating things since I was a kid, but only recently rediscovered my love for drawing. For a long time, I had told myself I was too late to start drawing, even though it was something I felt integral to my happiness. I've since realized that I want to fulfill a career of being an artist in the film or game industry, whether it's concept artist, storyboard artist, etc. I just want to bring my skills to a point where I know I can make a career out of it because it's something I want to be able to do all the time, constantly improving.
I've never had such a difficult learning experience with anything else in my life, as drawing feels extremely non-linear sometimes and as though I haven't improved. However, when I talk to my dad and air my frustrations once a week, he reminds me it takes time and effort. Therefore, I will continue to practice while also learning from the greats.
Some of my favorite artists would be Moebius, Mézières, Alan Lee, Frank Frazetta, Ron Cobb, and countless others. Every time I look at one of their artbooks I'm both defeated and inspired, knowing that if I could ever reach even something remotely near to their skill level, I would be truly happy. I'll never stop learning.
