Ever since I was about three I’ve been drawing things almost constantly but after years of crayons I started drawing with pencils and now that is the only thing I will use. This picture was done with a number 2 pencil only. The reason for me only using pencils is because I am absolutely horrid at colors particularly the detailed balance in shading with colors, but that doesn’t stop me from trying occasionally.
Hi, my name is Nathanael and I have lived in Alaska all my life, I love it here, as crazy as it sounds I even love the cold weather. I’m a freshman year college student studying for a degree in petroleum engineering. I decided to take this course not only because it’s required for my degree but also because I enjoy all different kinds of art and I wanted to further my understanding about art itself. I am taking my classes distance ed. for two reasons: 1. I found it to be cheaper 2. I recently went through a major knee surgery which rendered me immobile for over six months. But on a hood note i am recovering rapidly and should be fine within the next year. I am honestly looking forward to hearing from the other students in my class and looking forward to experiencing art in new ways.
