Name: Michi Doan

Location: Southern California, USA

How long have you been doing art: I draw for fun when I was in high school. I attended college major in BFA and continue to pursue my passion in art as I am building up my career. I graduated from college recently for a year.

Favorite Medium: I have more than one favorite medium. I love to experiment new techniques and try out different media. I liked brush pen, water brush, watercolor, copic, pencil, color pencil, and digital media. I am constantly trying out new things because it’s fun. If it is only one medium, I think I pick mixed media.

I am always fascinated in animations, films, comics, concept arts, and games. Currently, I am dedicating my focus in visual development. However, I enjoy all form of art whether it is an installation of light or an abstract painting. My goal is to create illustration for entertainment industry and bring joy to people around the world while expand my ability in storytelling. During my free time, I also like to learn different cultures, traditions, countries, languages, and astrology. I am available for freelance and commission.

To paint with the mouse is so 13 years ago. Good thing I’m only getting younger, oh wait…? :frowning:

#20

Slejf, why want to be younger when you have great art experience now^^ Cool mouse painting red phantom figure thing<3

#21

crowlena, very kind thank you. :slight_smile: Yea you’re right, shouldn’t be self critizing… Gotta find humour in some situations though, age be that one thing. :slight_smile:

#22

Slejf, yes true:) At least you’re not one of those child prodigies, then I might have to go and cry a little.

#23

crowlena, I was better 8 years ago though :slight_smile: …been around this forum since the start 2003… my third cgsociety account this…

#24

Slejf, that sure is a long time!O.O Haha I didn’t have internet access at home until 2006. I’ve head a few artists saying that about themselves. Maybe it’s because you’re more critical about your work now and hold it to a higher standard…possibly?

Sketch#4/May.25.2015/Photoshop/Red: Faces

Face studies from: http://artists.pixelovely.com/practice-tools/face-expression-practice/

#25

crowlena, I wouldn’t say critical. I mostly haven’t been drawing or painting these last 3 years.
I am coming back to drawing a little bit but after so many hours and dedication back in 2007 and putting my 12 hours a day into it I failed and lost interest because of it…

I stilll got a trained eye though I Believe but tecnique falls from the hands pretty fast. It’s the small things that makes much in the result.

Ahh 2006 is pretty late. I got my first Cable Connection back in 1999 You have broadband now?

#26

slejf, yes I have broadband access now thankfully…and electricityXP Are you saying you lost interest because you feel you failed or because you overworked yourself? Either way seems a shame:( I like the stuff on your blog. It’s hard to be in high spirits all the time though…so much hard work.
