BIO

I am a freelance fantasy/anime artist. I have been an artist since I was a teenager. I began drawing when I became fascinated with the images in my head that had yet to come out on paper. Thus, I began. Strangely, I didn't know why I started drawing because none of my family relatives could draw so I grew up without being around artistic people. I believe that God gave me a gift. He blessed me with a creative ability to draw and develop creative things. I thank Him for that. I continue to draw to this day. Overall, drawing and painting these interesting fantasy creatures has given me something to enjoy.

Genre

I started out using an anime style and later developed my own style.

Tricks of the Trade

Before I close, I want to extend some pointers out to beginner artists who wonder what supplies and equipment I use. I use an assortment of items to complete the drawings I do. The list follows:

Prismacolor colored pencils
Daniel Smith Extra Fine watercolor
Arches hotpress watercolor paper
Wacom Intuos Tablet
Photoshop CS2

Future Plans

I hope to become successful artist so I can contibute most of my proceeds to the needy.
