Drawing
I am a self-taught artist. I like to experiment with different coloring techniques, such as pencils, markers, and watercolors. I have learned some basics of Photoshop that allow me to correct and play with images to create different products. I enjoy the challenge of having an idea or concept in my head and thinking about how to put it on paper. I enjoy and admire the art of drawing and painting, as it is an inexhaustible source of learning and expression.
