Art in Real Life

This past year I have been experimenting with real drawing and painting. And let me tell you it isn’t easy! If you are used to the digital accuracy with which you can draw in Illustrator and Photoshop, then having a real pencil and brush in your hand is like being on a different planet.

However on the other hand, I have NO ambition to become an artist. I do this because I like art and want to try to push myself creatively. At first I started out with pencil drawings. Just to see if I liked it and also to train my drawing skills, before I would advance to painting.
