My influential angel will be my sister, she encourages me to keep on doing what I like and never stop trying. Every time I complete and art work, no matter if it’s a project or just for fun, I would always show her.  Ever since I began to draw, my sister has always been there to support me.

One of my major turning points was decided with the help of my sister.  It the beginning of college and I must pick my major ahead of time so I won’t make any mistakes. There were two paths I had to pick; one goes into fashion design which meant I have to transfer out and the other is to go into graphic design.  After doing lots of research the conclusion was; fashion design is a very competitive field and was mostly marketing instead of designing and graphic design varies to many other fields, such as advertising and animation.  Therefore, with the help of my sister my decision was made, I stayed in City Tech and continued my education in graphic design advertising.

Since I wasn’t able to get professorial lessons due to some private reasons, I had to learn a lot of stuff myself. One of my favorite things to draw was animation and one way I taught myself was to study an art work and copy it myself, after being familiar with the drawing I would change it up with my own designs. However, this technique was not giving me much improvement until, I got my own computer. I started searching for drawing and software lessons and the best video blog I found was on YouTube; animation blogger:  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCno-YPZ8BiLrN0Wbl8qICFA and fine art blogger: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaapxaQKJFJ6XC56CHgeTzw

My interest towards the art field vary a lot, I don’t necessarily like animation alone, I am interested in fine art, sculpture, jewelry design and much more. Since I was interest in so many divisions of art, I tried all of them and completed many pieces as well. However, I was still unable to decide on only one field of art major. Therefore, graphic design was the prefect major for me because I get to do vary fields of art work without any limitations.
