I’ve been drawing for a really long time. My aunts on my dad’s side are artists and they always gave us art projects and things to paint and draw growing up. Recently I have taken to sewing and I’m still learning but I really enjoy it.
As an art student, it might be surprising that I don’t care much about designing clothes at all, and instead would rather be going through the work to create something. This probably heavily influences my artwork, as fabric is something you see throughout them.
As for drawing, my motivation for drawing realistically is to show people what I see in the world, and I feel that realism is the best way to convey it. If people can identify what I’ve drawn, then I consider it a success. It’s also sort of a learning process for me, as you can only get better at drawing realistically. #WeAreVBSchools
