MEDIUM OF CHOICE: digit al art and some t radit ional sket ching

HOW ARE YOU AN ARTIST? Creat ing art is my life and my out let . It 's how I show my appreciat ion for t he world around me and for t he media I consume.

All you really need t o be an art ist is t o creat e, t o look inside yourself and find t hat creat ivit y and focus it on making somet hing new. It 's so disheart ening when art ist s, more specifically older art ist s, don't consider digit al art t o be a valid medium of art . St art ing t o creat e digit al art has act ually improved my t radit ional art as well, helping me t o develop t echniques t hat can be used in bot h mediums.
