Up Close and Personal

And this section is for those of you who might have read the pages about me or my interests but still would like to know a little bit more about my personality 🙂

What does drawing mean to me?

To me drawing is a great hobby. It’s very fun and I love it. It’s also a great talent I got from birth and I’m super lucky that I got good talents. I also do sculpting and it’s super fun to do, sometimes hard since the human body and poses can be hard to sculpt.

What inspires me?

I sometimes do weird things, like drawing strange drawings. Sometimes I draw funny pictures since I’m in the mood. I get inspiration from my dreams a lot of the time.

What’s my favourite drawing technique?

Hatching. I love watercolours, pencils, markers, alcohol markers too but I do lots of hatching!

What is the most difficult thing I have learnt so far?

Uhm, I think that it’s learning to set boundaries. I was backstabbed a lot before but my over forgiveness always made things worse. It took me a while (4 years) to build up courage but I’ve worked on it and I’m proud of that!

What do I aim for in 2024?

My goal is to get better at drawing and to improve my techniques. My favourite technique is with pencils and alcohol markers. The end result is beautiful! I do use colour pencil hatching as well.
