Artist Statement
Looking for my main goal for my artworks, I aspire to create various character designs revolving around their aesthetic. Most of the aesthetics I pushed throughout my artworks leans on the more fantasy scenario from the out-of-the-world look you do not see in real life. My art style leans on the more cartoonish side, inspired by the diverse history of cartoon imagery. After three years of studying how I would shape up my art style, taking Figure Drawing helped inspire an idea of basic human poses, so I would start giving my characters shape their personalities based on their poses. With my progress with my current art style, I want to keep going with improving to the point where I eventually start my art project with my own characters.
