digital + traditional artist

· i'm a digital and traditional artist who draws as a hobby.· been into art ever since i was a child, but i've been pursuing art "professionally" and striving to improve for 5+ years. My skill comes from a lot of practice [drawing daily] and a bit of studying..· i love my crazy ocs.. will never give up an option to insert them into conversations and love to talk about them.· i like to support young and/or new artists; art is a strong passion of mine, and i love it when others are interested in creating their own art and striving to work on their artistic abilities :)
it doesn't matter when you've started or how bad your skill is at present, everyone has the ability to improve drastically!· your comments and other various interactions help motivate me to make artwork that inspires people :)
my ultimate goal is to improve in my own artistic ability to recreate the ideas i have, and to move people with my various artworks.· i like to explore dark themes in my artwork.· ❗❗ i do not condone generative AI, use of NFTs, art theft, or unlicensed/uncredited monetization of artwork.
