Professional info
I’m a versatile artist skilled in traditional mediums that range from acrylic paint to colored graphite pencils, and who's equally skilled in digital art. I’m enthusiastic about my work and like to keep it original, creative and bursting with detail. I’m not above taking advice and constructive critique from others, and will work well within a team because of it. I’m always open to learn techniques and skills from those with more experience than me in the industry; applying their knowledge to my work will help make it more spectacular and memorable. I always strive to find innovative ways to level up my skills.
