Hello! My name is J. I’m a freshman with hopes of pursuing a dual-degree with Political Science and Art, and am currently staying at my home in Tennessee. I am also nonbinary, and use they/them pronouns.
I’ve been seriously interested in art since about 16-ish (although you might think it was 8 by the looks of my early artwork). Ever since then, I’ve been a primarily digital artist. I do art trades with other artists, draw different characters, and just kind of having fun with it. What I lack in technical skill, I try to make up for with passion and a deep love for experimenting with colors. Here’s some of my work!
Lastly, I really recommend using Line-of-action (https://line-of-action.com/) for figure drawing!! It has a “class mode” where it gives you several figures, and you draw each for 30 seconds, then a few more for 1 minute, then a couple more for 5 minutes, then 1 for 10 minutes (there are different modes you can use though, and you can pause and focus on the figure whenever you want). You can choose between nude and clothed, and they even have sections for animals, expressions, hands, and landscapes! It’s great practice!
Feel free to add your digital skills back into our Drawing class as the semester progresses.
