When I was a kid, I drew all the time--in the car, at home, at school, everywhere. Then at some point in high school I started becoming very frustrated with the fact that my drawings didn't match my imagination, and impatient with the amount of time it took to complete an artwork. And so, for the past ten years I have barely picked up a pencil.
Now I'm a graduate student in the sciences, and I'm finding that I really can't think as well (about anything!) if I don't balance out my technical studies with the arts. So, I've decided to get back into visual art again and see where it takes me. I love art that tells stories, so I am most interested in concept art and illustration. Hopefully, I can come up with some projects that meld art with science--and build a new skillset that may open up additional career options for me.
As of joining this site, I've logged seven hours of drawing practice. Here's to keeping up with it...
