Hello! I'm sixteen and I have loved to draw since I was very young. All my life I've lived in NC, my artist journey all started here and with a cartoon dog tutorial from my brother. My main goal as an artist is to reach hyper realism.

Tropical Leaves

Mission

My mission as an artist is to draw at least once everyday and study anatomy to help reach my goal as hyper realism. With my art I want to be inclusive of all types of people. Including Lgbt+,all body types, all races

Two sketches of mine including transgender men

Vision

The vision I had for my future as an artist was tattooing, if I ever wanted to take my art skills into a career it would be a tattoo artist, after trying vet school.

Here are some tattoo concepts from my sketchbook>>

   

Describe-> Why piece looks soft and realistic, the tongue of the cow looks smooth and wet. The subject matter is realism and texture. The title is "Soft Friend" I become friends with most animals I meet or at least I try to. The most obvious principles are Value, and texture. 

Create-> The media in my art is pencil and some gel pen. I used a very up close reference picture to study and get the textures accurate. I shadows before adding texture and then with the fur I followed the direction of the animals body, the head is curved so followed to structure of it's head. I also overlapped the strokes that were fur over each other after I got some layed down. For the blurry out of focus parts I didn't put as much work into detail and smudged the pencil with my finger to add blur.

Big Idea-> Some cottage core aesthetic photos of cute cows and my love for animals inspired this piece. This is personal, it my personal love for animals and how I like cottage aesthetic. I tried to show adoration and affection in this piece, I feel like the first thought is "awe".

Goals->  I had a goal that I wanted the piece to look as if you reach out and touched it you could feel the fur, I feel like I did a good enough job, but there is always room for improvement.

Thought-> I learned to start with the fur further towards the outside and work inwards so that it overlaps like n reality. The final piece is mostly what I imaged, I felt like it could have been a bit better but it's still pretty good. Because I expected a but more realism. It will influence more artwork by inspiring me to draw more animals.
