Profile
I’ve always loved drawing and painting for as long as I can remember. Back then it was all traditional work, but in 2006 when I discovered digital artwork and I couldn’t resist giving it a go. I recieved my first Wacom tablet for my 16th birthday and I haven’t left it since, though I frequently switch between traditional and digital mediums. I grew up in Chester, UK, where I still live and I was homeschooled until I was about sixteen.
I am currently doing a two year National Diploma in Interactive Media at Yale in Wrexham (begun in 2007) which I enrolled in to build up a further foundation in art and learn and improve in a variety of subjects including photography, animation, computer aided design, graphics design, life drawing, film and TV, and games design. The course is keeping me pretty busy and I’m really enjoying it so far.
I have loads of hobbies/interests, including Japanese anime/manga and culture, web design, reading fiction, listening to music, watching films, tennis, video games and of course various forms of art from digital to traditional.
In between college work, I work creating my own characters and concepts through pencil sketches or digital painting and draw comic pages and character portraits for a webcomic collaboration [coming soon] between myself and a friend.
I love creating new characters and personalities and hope one day, most likely after University, to draw as a concept artist or character designer for video games.
