Underlying

When I think of my artwork and any underlying themes my artwork may have, I think of three main things: people, abstraction, and experimentation.  I love drawing people. When I was younger, I used to hate drawing a realistic representation of people because I just thought I sucked at it. But now people are my favorite thing to draw, I think because it's just so interesting to put a person on paper. I mainly like portraits, but I have done some full body pictures, but I think I suck at it...maybe one day I'll grow a love for drawing that too.

My next underlying theme I observe in my artwork as a whole is abstraction. I like creating things that are a step outside of normal, and isn't always realistic. I just like things that you have to look at and actually think about what is trying to be told. Not looking at a flower and just seeing a flower.  I tend to draw things that are weird I guess to other people.

I love to experiment!  I always want to try new things with my artwork or new techniques for making my artwork. I experiment with different mediums or drawing styles. I always look at a wide range of artists that I can try to mimic their style and experiment with it in my own way. So some pieces I may do are probably inspired by an artist that I observed. I'm always open to learning.
