Finding something one is good at doing is a bit difficult because people don’t generally dwell on such thoughts. It is always so easy to nitpick at our faults that we sometimes forget to appreciate our talents and uniqueness. I had always enjoyed art in particular and I was good at it. It had taken me a long time for me to come to terms with the fact that I was good at it. I loved to draw and I loved photography. The skill of digital design and editing photos later on came easy to me. It was a hobby that I had always enjoyed and it truly relaxed me. As a child, I remember sitting for hours just doodling. Pencil sketching is what I started with, truly the basics of drawing. As I grew older, I began to understand dimensions and shading. My skill set broadened and I began to experiment with any new materials I was able to gain access to: oil paints, watercolor, colored pencils, markers, pastels, chalk, and so forth. My style of drawing went from cartoons to realistic, and somewhere along the way I found that my style settled on an inbetween of cartoon and realistic proportions. Eventually, I tried photography. I enjoyed a lot more than I had thought possible. It had a bit of a social aspect to it as I had liked to invite friends and family to outings with my camera. I learned to edit and Photoshop photos, which proved to be a useful skill to obtain. I have always enjoyed art and thought of it as a hobby very dear to me. It was a way for me to release my thoughts and emotions onto a medium and organize it into a way I can comprehend. I have found that it also documents my progress as a person. As my art changed and evolved, so had I.
