I like art because when I do art, I get to express myself and what I’m feeling. And with art like sculpting, I get to really express how I feel about art, myself, and other people. And the same thing goes for drawing, painting, or even stop-motion animation. The first person who inspired me to do art was my grandmother. She started drawing pictures for me and I decided to join her. Then, I started watching the Japanese anime show “Naruto”, and I got inspired to draw anime by Naruto’s creator, Masashi Kishimoto. Then when my grandmother started to sadly lose her eyesight, I decided to sort of give up art. But then I met Sama, and suddenly I felt inspired to do art again. I feel that I am becoming a much better artist now because of Sama. Art has its ups and downs. Sometimes it can be frustrating when you’re just drawing the first part and you really want to finish it off and do the details, but it takes a lot of time. But when you finally finish, you feel proud of your creation and excited to start a new one!
