Damian's Sketchbook

Who Am I?

Ever since i was young i would always love making analog art with my sister, like making arts and crafts would be a big part of me growing up. I remember always asking for a set of markers or colored pencils to draw some scenery or animals. Today, i fell in love with traditional pencil art work and photo manipulation, I like to experiment with new ideas and challenging myself to improve especially with new mediums i havent tried. This portfolio represents not only my work, but also my journey as an artist who continues learning and exploring new creative outlets every day.
