I love traditional art just because of pure physicality of it. When I finish a piece, I'm always in shock that it came from my hands. I still don't know how it happens. It makes me really glad to hear that people enjoy my art (and I wish I had more time to do more! Being a full time student with a job is hard!). I have learned to draw purely through practice and personal learning from my mistakes (no professional training). It has taken a long time but I have greatly improved since I started. I was so proud of my first realistic portrait in 10th grade. Looking at it now, it is absolutely horrible and I have no idea how I thought it looked good. But it has shown me how much I have grown as an artist. I used to suck with colors, but now color theory fascinates me! I am currently an Art History/English double major and am thinking of pursuing teaching, although I am unsure what I would teach. Being an art teacher has always sounded fun to me as well. I would love to see what you have been working on with traditional mediums, I can see you have a lot of creativity and talent!
