I have no clue what inspired me to become an artist. I just really like drawing, I've been going from there and so I'm gonna keep going with that. My favorite medium is using very sharp pencils with good erasers. These are some of my favorite artists: Andrew Hussie, Sir Fluff, Sara See Andersin, Van Gogh, ijustwannahavefun, Jack Stuber, many more. I don't really like deadlines, so i try not to have them, but when i do i try to work on the project the whole day until i have a finishing point i like. Sometimes an idea will just come to me out of nowhere, and if i feel like i can do it i try to draw it. Other than that I draw a lot of fanart of fandoms I'm in or what I'm currently hyper fixated on. I know my artwork is finished if all the details are done and how I want them; I don't usually color things unless it's digital or a painting. 

I don't have a name for my artstyle or anything, I just draw what I'm able to draw. But i like drawing in the scenemo or moe art style sometimes. I developed this artstyle through lots of practice using a lot of references. Sometimes I'll make a mistake while I'm drawing and if I like how it looks then I'll try to use it in the drawing. My 2 goals that I have as an artist are to just have fun while drawing.  When faced with making creative decisions, I write my ideas down and see if I can put them all into one project. If i can't find a way to do that i just choose which idea i either want to work on more and know i can do. I’m struggling with figures right now, but I'm not sure why. My biggest challenge as an artist is that I don't like judgment a whole lot, or someone questioning my way of getting to the finished product. 

To make sure that I grow as an artist, I draw all the time, and practice things I'm not so good at. An advice I would like to give to someone who just started visual art is: don't get upset that someone is ‘better than you’ at art; there's not a correct or wrong way to draw or paint or whatever. It's your art style, do what you want with it, make it look what's good to you. If it's a little messy or something then so what. Being a graphic designer sounds cool, but I don't really want art to be a job for me. I just want to do it for fun and not for money because then I'll probably get stressed out about both things.
