I love to draw and sketch for the foundation for my art pieces. That way with the foundation I go further with drawing and then I either paint or get it digitalized to create digital arts. I always fascinated into drawing and digital arts since I was kid by seeing how it was designed based on computer games with the foundation.
Where do you find inspiration?I came from a family generation that does arts, particularly with painting and drawing. While I was in a daycare, that person I also call her grandma is an artist and she introduced me to arts which became my passion as I explored arts as she showed her paintings. My grandma - always inspired by her with her artworks so I get motivated to creating arts.
What would you do with $25,000?I'm currently nearing to completion with Associates of Fine Arts degree and set my sights onto a different school that I could pursue for BAS with Illustration as it's one of my dream degree for my art journey. So with the 25 grand, I would use that for the school funds to pursue this degree I'm aiming for.
