I love to create acrylic paintings of any size. They tend to come out so satisfying and very pleasing to the eye. Although, my favorite type of art to create is graphite pencil drawings. I love to create realistic drawings where they feel real like a memory or deja vu. Any size as well, to really small or large. I like to go in with every single detail and shade. Shading is the most exciting part because thats when it comes to life. Other than those two medias, i love the style of stippling ink.
Where do you find inspiration?My family has always played an important role in art. I grew up being told that my parents used to do drawings together and i found that so sweet. We always had their art hanging around home. My sister would draw cute doll like figures and that got me so excited to make my own little figure drawings. From there on, i’ve always found inspiration and awe in others who found their way of creativity in making art with their hands and materials. The freedom to create whatever you want and however!
What would you do with $25,000?I would love to finally buy my first car, any car works fine. Just to go place to place would be very helpful and pay of my debts. But before that, I would love to pay off my family’s debts and what ever else they need. Would love to fix our house, and get the right furniture needed such as a new fridge, bathtub, and couch. My family deserves to live comfortably, they’ve done so much for me.
