Recently, I have realized that most other people draw in stick figures;) I had no idea most people couldn't sketch, even with a model... okay - so I'm just really naive - shoot me;)

Anyway, I took some art classes when I was in elementary school, but then academics became more important. (I'm Asian - all my parents care about are A's...not pretty art;)) But during middle school, I always enjoyed art - I loved watching my friends draw cartoons and I secretly wished I had access to my friends english and chinese comics.

Finally, in high school, I started to grow really interested in anime. Oh, it had been around me for ages - it's hard to escape when you're only 2nd generation and *all* the rest of your family still lives in Taiwan=) I had just never realized the connection between that stuff and some of the badly hacked up dubs I had seen on TV:o) Anyway, the rest is history - I started to watch a lot of different shows and naturally, I wanted to imitate the gorgeous images I found on the screen. So I started to draw fan art and learn to draw in anime style:o)
