I exclusively draw fan art because all my finished works serve as a ‘thank you’ for the joy the subject brought me. Honestly, it’s hard to remember my last piece that didn’t include inspiration from preexisting media. Humans are so interesting; why wouldn’t I want to grow through others’ perspectives?
I don’t draw much, so I constantly visualize new ideas and break down my surroundings. I take observed scenarios and insert my beloved characters to portray an accurate “slice of life”. Warm tones are then added to convey the message of being alive.
My art is entirely done as a source of enjoyment. Realistically, it’s the only career I wish to pursue. My ultimate goal is to learn every art medium by the time I retire. Similarly to the way I speak, my art process is very scattered and choppy. I wish to still have a varied uniqueness to me but with skillful execution. Until then, I’ll work as an artist and pursue happiness.
