My favourite hobby; art.

My favourite hobby has never changed since I was young, and that is art. Ever since I was little I loved to create, craft and draw things. It has never stopped and even now, whenever I have a pencil at hand with my notebook or a piece of paper, I will create and draw. My favourite aspects of drawing, is creating characters of all sorts, inspired by people I see around me or pictures inspired by music i'm listening to. In college now, I am studying Fine art and graphic design, as these are my two favourite subjects to do. In the future I would love to do many things related to art, such as making my own t-shitrt/jumper designs, illustrating books, becoming a tattooist, making comics, becoming a special effects artist or even a make up artist. If failing all of these I will still wish to continue into making art that I would love to be commisioned for or give them as presents. One day I would love to create a mural on a wall somewhere of a drawing of mine.

How I doodle and sketch

When doodling out and about, I will normally use a biro or an ink pen to doodle in my drawing pad. when im doodling I will visualise the picture in front of me and make fine lines where I plan to draw the start of my image, then work more into the picture as I go along and more often than not I will begin to make things up as I create.

Favourite art style

My favourite styles of art can be differenciated but my main preference is a stylised mix between cartoon and realism. This is because I feel I can work in different ways to create different images and when making characters it becomes much more fun to go a little crazy but still make them look relatively life like and normal.
