hallo!
i'm rosie, an incoming junior in high school with ambitious plans and frequently, not enough motivation. i've been doodling, drawing, painting, whatever for as long as i could remember. for these last two years of my high school career, i will be focusing on developing my portfolio for the college board's ap studio art 2d design exam with a little extra for a college portfolio. perhaps i'll even stick around for college and beyond!
regarding the aforementioned sketchbook, i have multiple. i specialize in crappy scribbly doodles with to do lists, homework, and etc. written all over. aka the true reason i decided to write this first im scared to show my work because i haven't quite found myself yet. i've made things, but i don't quite feel myself in them yet if that makes sense.
my goals : find myself. improve. help others improve. make friends.
i look forward to meeting and growing with you all!

Welcome to CD, rosie :) Since you're in high school, I highly recommend you do the Fundamentals quests ;) So draw a lot from life, anything, anytime, and anywhere! Just keep filling up those sketchbooks and don't worry about anything. You find yourself through action - like mining for diamond. And don't worry about not fitting into a category or role, that is easily adjustable later on.
Welcome again!
