My Bio
Five Things About My style:
1.When it comes to drawing, I don't like color; I prefer to just draw with a regular pencil.

2.I love detail. Shading and texture is my strong point.I'm not big on cross-hatching and line variation though.

3. I prefer realism instead of cartoon, although I do have interests in anime.

4. For photography, I don't like having people in any of my shots unless they are the primary subject.

5. I don't edit any of my photos. The drawings however, have been slightly modified in order to be more visible after scanning.
