I would like to use my sketchbook as a way of attempting new things in terms of form, style, and much more. I have interest in Asian art styles and I would like to explore that this semester. Generally I like drawing portraits and sometimes landscapes, I feel like since I mostly draw female characters that might be a central focus of my work.
