Young ARTIST
Andrea LaiEver since I was a toddler, I loved drawing. I would doodle on notebooks with anything on hand, even lipstick. My mom also loved art and throughout the years, she would take me to various art museums so that I could see the different styles of art. I like to sketch with charcoal and pencil, but I also like acrylic painting and sculpting with clay.
I like sketching with charcoal best because the charcoal has a nice texture on paper. I sketch mostly for my own enjoyment, but I also like sketching because you can express many feelings through it.
The main reason I like art is because I can let my imagination create what it wants. I can make up fictional characters and places that never existed. I love to write novels and sketch.
