Why I love drawing

art vs artist

Whenever I am not learning anything and everything about coding, I spend my time doing digital art! Drawing or just simply doodling has been a great way for me to improve my mental health. I generally use it as an outlet from all of the worries and stress I carry in working to get my foot in the door in the tech industry. It's something that I am extremely passionate about even if I am losing sleep over it!

I primarily enjoy drawing characters from a book series called The Locked Tomb by Tamsyn Muir. Above all else, I love sharing my art with others that share the same interest in the series as well as supporting the creative content of different people in the community!
