Early childhood, I used to try to follow along to Bob Ross with Crayola Paints lol. It was either blobs of paint or I'd draw SpongeBob and Gary with those markers you get in craft kits were it's like 50/50 if it's gonna work?

I didnt get serious until about 9 or 10? Atleast, as serious as you can be with a hobby at 9:)

When I was 18 I realized making an animated film was something that you could just do, time and effort are the only limitations. So I needed to learn how to draw.

Been drawing ever since I was in elementary school! One of the earliest things I would remember drawing was Yoshi. I just loved the little guy as a kid. Then a book series called Warrior Cats entered my life in my teens and since then that series influenced to what I draw today!

I may not draw warriors as I did back then, but Iโ€™m still quite fond of the series itself. I still look at animations done by the communityโ€” whether itโ€™s something I grew up with or itโ€™s new!

I was 13 :D over ten years ago. Was inspired by my older brother's classmate who always doodled in the cafeteria.

When I was 9 or 10. But unfortunately I hardly draw nowadays due to my working life. I feel too drained to even lift a pencil.

5th grade. Like...10 or 11 maybe. Saw another girl doing it and decided to do it myself. I just kept going because I loved it.

when I was 5 years old! I drew a lot of anthropomorphic animals like girls with a bunny, cat or a dog head ๐Ÿ˜… but I think I started taking it more seriously when I was maybe 9 years old?? My little pony and Steven universe really influenced my art & I wanted to keep drawing because of those two shows !!

As long as I can remember.
From carefully choosing the different colors for my projects in kindergarten,
To having my great grandfather give me skin coloring and shading tips for my coloring book. When I would doodle all day in class during elementary school, trying to subtly study those few kids that took art classes and the way they drew the trees and faces. To staring to use references from all the shows I became obsessed with in middle school. Starting to create digitally and do inktobers in my sketchbook once I got a phone in highschool. The rest is history and here I am. Happy with my art. I have not and will not ever stop creating. It is a part of me. It connects me generations back. Art has always been a part of my identity so I can't really imagine my life without it.

I drew princesses and monsters for my little sister. So even then, something spooky and cute.

It's always been in me.

One of the schools I chose had an emphasis on art. I really-really-really like and gravitate towards ink. I feel one important step was buying my first digital drawing tablet in 2018 and posting my art journey online.

I wanted to find my style of drawing dragons.

Right now, on mobile, my gallery has a bug that makes it cut off mid-2024.

My links work, Instagram and Cara galleries still work, or if you're on the Artfol website (either one .co or .app) you can still see all my art posts.

I don't think I ever stopped making art.
