I used to use Painttool SAI, but it
didn’t really agree with my laptop so
I ended up having to change.
When I work traditionally, I just use a
normal, spiral-bound A4 book from
Cheap as Chips. At the moment, I
just swear by my Faber Castell TriGrip pencils - but I one day hope to
be able to save up for some Copic
markers or Faber Castell Polychromos.
Whats next for you?
I am hoping for the opportunity to
study a tattoo apprenticeship next
year, as I won’t be continuing my
studies at AIE in 2017.

On the side, I’ll probably continue
taking art commissions online.
Any advice for people wanting to
get into art?
My advice for people who are
wanting to pursue art as a hobby
or career would be to never stop
trying. I know it sounds cliche, but
it’s the truth. Sometimes your art
won’t look as good as you want it
to - but that’s okay. If you can stick
with it long enough and work hard
every day, you’ll get past it. When it
comes to art, there is always room
for improvement!
Try not to compare yourself to others because your art is unique.

Lastly, never throw away old drawings. You can look back on them to
see how far you’ve come! They’re
also great to have around for when
you’re feeling disheartened about
your work - looking back on old stuff
helps you appreciate what you can
do now.
