Artist | Student | Varied

I have been drawing since I could hold a pencil. I took online classes and studied at home. It has always been my passion to create vibrant images. My work requires a significant amount of both creative and critical thinking, which helps to develop my mind, which helps me to become more inventive. I plan to get into the film industry by creating storyboards, concept art, and character design for fun and adventurous movies and games. A strong movie needs a strong foundation and by giving splendid storyboards, I plan to help make a strong movie better. Many can describe me as spastic and I take it as a compliment. I believe that an excited attitude will better the project one works on. I often get very involved in the characters I draw. For instance, if I were working on a project involving a samurai, you might find me working on my projects in a kimono and hakamas with a katana tucked into my belt to better intensify the mood of the character. Overall, I believe that having an optimistic outlook will help me to make my way to a job where I can do my best, work hard, and help to create a really sweet film.
