Cartoons, comics, and anime were the most significant influences on my drawings ever since I was six years old, and those amazing stories still inspire me to this day! And you can still see some of those art styles in my art today, which is so fun :D   (can you guess which ones influenced me most: Impossible edition)

​

A lot of my first art pieces was copying cool things I saw on the internet and all around me and drew them all on some wrinkly paper. I drew SO much Pokémon art and anime character designs, I loved doing it so much! Buuuuttttt I also would go around and saying that I created them by myself and now I learn is called plagiarizing kiddos (now drawing from other people's drawing and designs isn't bad okay? Just the claiming it is all yours) but that was such a vital time of my art journey. If you are a beginner and you want to get into getting more into it - my best advice would be draw your FAVORITE things! Draw that character you like, doodle that bird on the tree, sketch out a dragon you saw on Pinterest!
