I have studied art for 3 years and photography just the one. Over my years I have learnt to draw through many traditional mediums and digital. It was in my final years that I found my strongest medium and style: Pencil Crayon followed by the use of inks to illustrate. I mainly focus around animals both in an illustrative style and realistic. I also draw humans, my style influenced by both western comics and eastern manga.

In my AS project I was given the title of Relief Panel. I explored different ways to give art layers to find that I was better off with a frames piece. This is where I developed my pencil crayon skill as well as digital skill.
