Why did
you start coloring and does coloring help you with any issues or medical
conditions you deal with?
I started coloring seriously when I was about 12. I wanted to be a comic book artist like my
cousin. He draws superman comics and
would send me copies over every issue he did.
I idolized him and wanted to follow in his footsteps.
What
would you recommend to anyone thinking about beginning the adventure of coloring?
Don't be afraid to make mistakes and don't stop when
you do. finish the piece. Always.
You'll get very discouraged if you have a bunch of half finished
pictures laying about.
Is there
anything else that you would like to share?
Don't be afraid to share your work, no matter how good
or bad you feel it is. Everyone has to
start somewhere and no one is going to bash you because your shading or values
aren't just perfect. Find a good,
supportive group of people and invest in your talents.
