Drawing
I have been drawing since i was a little child, its one of my favorite things in life. I really enjoy the challenge of trying to accurately pass my thoughts into a piece of paper. It expands my imagination and make me a happier person overall! I have a 10 year old sister and im glad we are sharing the same drawing interest. My favorite drawing techniques are charcoal drawing and oil painting.
