ART JOURNEY
My art journey started out when I was a little girl. I’ve always been the artist in my family. even though my art mainly consisted of stick figures with two strands of hair and a triangle dress and no arms
Eventually, my parents signed me up for art classes which was how I learned a lot of techniques for traditional art.
It wasn’t until last summer when I discovered this place called the forums. Here, I saw many very talented artists and was when I sparked my interest for digital art. I wanted to try it out so I searched up on YouTube on how to do episode edits. There, I stumbled across Nighty’s video where I discovered IbisPaint X, an amazing app for people looking to start digital art. Nighty’s Video
I continued to make edits on Ibis whenever I had free time up until December 31, 2018. That was when I downloaded procreate and made my first edit on there. It was a whole new experience and took some getting used to, but I was happy with it!
ART GROUPS
When I first opened a pfp shop, it was so horrible! Find it here Not on the customers’ part… On mine. I just took coloring book outlook news from the internet and colored them. I’m ashamed of it now and wish to forget all about it 
. But, I surprisingly was invited to join a group called @Episode-Diamonds. You all will be surprised when I say that I declined their offer. I don’t know why but I just didn’t feel like it… That group I believe also had @Ankita (an amazing artist I’ve had a few discussions with and is super nice) and @epy.kalea (also a stunning artist). Over time, I got invited to a few other groups but declined all of them. I believe in November 2018, I got the idea to collab with a few close friends to make an art group, and that’s where @Episode.Savvies was born. We opened up and created amazing art as a team!

I wanted to draw because I had a lot of silly ideas and I needed an outlet for them. We never had the money for good stationary, nevermind sketching pens and pencils so most of my work was done at school. I loved doing anime and game characters that i liked but my original characters started forming when i was about 8
Those are the earliest drawings I have on my phone right now, I’m actually planning on redoing those. I started out pencil and paper but nowadays i go digital because colouring is scary when there’s no undo button.
I think I’ve gotten better in the past… 13 years (yikes), but I’ve still got a long way to go!

Oh I remember one of your outlines being colored in their examples… Maybe it was someone else who colored your outline 
. Thank you though! I look to you as one of my idols who inspired me to keep going with my art as well

I drew on paper when I was like, 4 or 5 (all the way until like 12, then I stopped for a bit). I’d literally go through stacks of paper drawing these childish interpretations of people. (AKA. Deformed figures with strange body proportions, I was such a paper waster 
)
I’m currently testing out drawing realistic digitally. I suspect it shouldn’t take too much time for me to learn, although I don’t usually have the time to be drawing.

My art journey probably started when I was a little girl. I always loved doodling and spent hours drawing on my hand.
When I was about 10, I got more serious at art and practiced a lot more, I used to colour in adult colouring books all the time. This was traditional art, however.
When I was 12, I started digital art on a program called Brushes Redux. They weren’t very good but I loved my art there anyways 
This September I found the Episode Forums and was insanely hooked. I’ve always loved to edit episode characters but never draw them. Here, I found much better programs for digital art like Ibis Paint X. I’d like to say I was inspired by so many people to improve, whilst also continuing my realist art.
This December I downloaded procreate for my realistic art and moved to it for my episode art this Feb.
I also joined Instagram in late Feb and I’m happy to say I now have over 700 followers, which is insane. This helped me to get more inspiration on how to improve.
Just wanted to say I would not be where I am if it weren’t for these forums and episode as a whole.
Some of my inspirations are below
@Cassandra_Dean just beautiful
@Turtle_Cat My queen
@Dayaepy You know what I mean
@PerplexedJam Hands down the best artist for realism ever
@Killerfrost Your edits are just gorgeous
If anyone is interested, I also do realism. This is my most recent piece using Oils

It was my hobby since i was 12
I used to draw portraits of my friends and teachers
I draw by hand
I love it. But I could only pencil sketch. There is a girl at my school, who draw portraits (but not realistic) in color. So, the whole class loved her paintings. My paintings became unpopular. So, out of rage, I burnt my first ever portrait, which was of my bestie. But after that, my bestie encouraged me to draw, and eventually, I won the 1st prize in the inter school painting contest. Still now, I paint.
I never did digital art.
Even if I did digital art, i would still love my portraits and pencil sketch
