Annika Freyah Nilsen

Annika is addicted to drawing and painting.
 
 
 
Ah, the infamous bio… I never know what to write in these things…


Well, I'm a Swedish girl who just can't keep away from drawing. Once my technology teacher even taped my fingers together to make me pay attention in class rather then doodle on the notes he’d handed out. ^_^

I have been drawing for as long as I can remember but did not begin to seriously try and improve my style until a couple a years ago when I started playing a fantasy MMORPG called EverQuest and found my genre.

My style is pretty varied since I’ll draw/paint with anything I can get my hands on; pens, mechanical pencils (no sharpening…yay!), water/color- pencils, ink (although I really stink at inking), charcoal, acrylics, oil, pastel (both oil and chalk) and of course my current favorite Photoshop.

For some reason people seem to associate my style with anime, I’m not offended by this but I do find it curious since I’m not really an anime/manga fan at all. *shrugs*

My artworks tend to be in the fantasy genre since I can draw pretty much anything my warped mind throws at me and get away with it (hey, it’s magic).

I’m almost totally self taught in art so constructive criticism is the only way for me to find out if I’m doing anything wrong and how to correct it. So feel free to point out mistakes and suggestions on how I can improve my art, I promise I won’t become angry (quite the opposite). ^_^


'You can’t wait for inspiration. You have to go after it with a club.'

Wow. Your artwork is just beautiful! I love the style of your work, it’s almost tribal. Amazing! I think the mermaid are my favorite. I can’t wait to see more!

Love your artwork, the colours and detail make each picture so bold. The backgrounds are nice too, they make the pictures more dramatic. My backgrounds are boring compared to yours! Keep going with the good work, I cant wait to see more of your art! 11

:-) Annika Freyah Nilsen replies: "Yeah, backgrounds are important, but OOOOHHH so boring to do. I can’t think of a single background of mine that went down with good grace. It’s like pulling teeth I tell you.
If it were not for the fact that I hade white spaces I’d never do backgrounds.... ^_^"

amazing. i love finding new favorites! have you ever thought about drawing males?

:-) Annika Freyah Nilsen replies: "Hmm, I have _some_ males in here.... Mostly in the Fan Art section though.
Thing is I’m really bad at drawing males, they all look twelve years old. And even though I practise it does’nt seem to improve a lot ao I’m too embarrased to post those images... But I do try. ^_^"
