I’ve always been into realism and surrealism. The more details, the better. Realism also helped me understand how a light source works and with that I’m able understand my values a lot more. I like surrealism because your drawing what’s inside the mind and there’s no limitations.
Where do you find inspiration?At first my inspiration came from seeing other artworks and I always wanted to replicate it or do better but recently I’ve been drawing from imagination rather than drawing something that’s already been done. I like to draw what I feel instead of what I see.
What would you do with $25,000?God willing I would put that money into a business and continue to grow as an artist.
