I’m a doodler, and I draw every day, filling sketchbook after sketchbook. I love to come up with different characters, so I guess that makes me a character artist.
This is my full-time job. I like my job. It gets me out of bed early every day. I can almost hear the pens and paper calling me. I like doodling a lot.
I also like painting my doodles and making them jump from 2D into 3D, using my hands and clay materials. So I could also be called a sculptor.
I’m a big fan of seeing my doodles come to life, so I animate them using a hand-drawn frame-by-frame method. So I could also be called an animator.
