Introduction

Hi Steemit, I'm new around here and this is my first post.

Instead of a regular introductory post, since I love art and I just thought I'd share my journey of how my love for art changed throughout the course of time.

Firstly, here is my latest piece to kind of show what I do today.

This post will show how I evolved, including a short summary of what I've learned during that time.

Like MOST millennials, I dipped my toes on the world of drawing anime.
I traced most of my drawings back then, focused on how to work on details like shadings.
I also drew a few of my own original characters.
(Age ~16)

I started doing referencing without tracing during this time, started to learn a bit of the anatomy of the face.
Started to get even more into art that I joined the art club in my school.
I later realized that art in school was so different, painting fruits were not my thing.
(Age ~16)

Graduated from high school, got a scanner and drew my first series portrait, Emma Stone.
I learned to draw hair in different ways during this time period and realized what a pain it was.
(Age ~18)

Found myself an artsy friend in college.
We ventured out and stumbled upon this mysterious book called a "Moleksine" in a art shop. We then took it upon ourselves to fill it up with different sorts of art. During this point of time, I played with more colors and animals.
(Age ~19)

I stopped drawing for awhile during college and enlisted to the military.
After I was done with my military service, I started to draw again.
I got drawn to portraiture once again, and started to find what kind of style I wanted to have.
Looking at artists like Ilya Kushinov, I started to wonder how I could define my style.
(Age ~23)

Here is where I am today, I am still trying to define myself. Still trying to learn.
(Age 24)

Hope you enjoyed viewing the few pieces of art that are spread throughout the course of my life.
