Since childhood I've participated in different kinds of art classes and workshops and practiced drawing, painting, and sketching in my spare time. This has given me a good understanding of human and animal anatomy and structure which allows me to have a versatility of style in my character design. My first venture into computer generated images was "pixel painting" with the original 32-bit microsoft paint program available on windows version 3.1. I used the program to create 2d "fashion dolls" and experimented with colourful textures on clothing and hair.
