When I began drawing and painting, it was all just because I had to. As time passed, I realized it was something I really loved to do. I began to challenge myself, using new mediums and drawing more challenging pictures. I began to draw realistically with pencil, and more people began to praise my work, which gave me confidence. My role model was professional artists. Examples from other artists inspired me to do better. There was no one in particular, just pieces of work I thought were truly amazing. These pictures were the ones I wanted to compare to.
Throughout the coarse of my work, my teacher eventually told me I needed to shake things up and do something different. As I looked through my work I did notice that I had stuck with the same theme and it would be nice to see something different. I wanted to create something amazing, so I took my friend's comments into consideration, thinking about painting, using acrylic and magazine clippings. I was bored of my old theme and wanted to start something new, so that's exactly what I did.
My work now, are experiments. I'm trying new things and challenging my style. I still love working with pencil, but pastels, paints, markers, mixed medias and other materials, really shape out to be difficult, but rewarding.I'm trying new things, experimenting what I'm good at and what needs work. I'm changing my style and trying to make my work memorable. I don't want my work to be like any other student's, I want it to be THAT student's work.
