I've been drawing (or "doodling" as I first called it) since elementary school. It just started with little things like dogs and cats, then I moved on to drawing fairies and the like. It's funny because the first people I started drawing with were fairies with blank faces and looked like their hands had been cut off. Because I couldn't either of them! Lol.

Then in middle school I started watching anime and copying how their eyes looked. Honestly I have pages and pages of school "notes" that have eyes drawn all over them. I kept practicing drawing eyes alot, and now I'm pretty pleased to say that I get alot of compliments from people saying that the eyes on draw on my characters are one of their best features. In highschool I started watching other genres of anime like Last Exile and Wolf's Rain, ones that aren't the traditional anime style. That's probably where I got alot of my inspiration from today.
