Hello everyone!
It is an honor for me to be able to join this platform.
My name is Nocto. Well, not really, of course; but that is how I prefer to be called.
I am 25 years old and I am a freelancer artist from Argentina.
Drawing since I was a little girl and I also like to write stories preferably fantasy. I love to read and if I could recommend a book in particular that would be The Name of the Wind, since it has been one of the last books I have read and it has been recorded in my memory.
Mostly I spend the day drawing and trying to improve little by little being what I love, and despite not having immediate results as I would like, there is no doubt that with the years and the practice there is improvement. Here are some examples of my career in the artistic world:
These are recent drawings (2018 - 2019)
And these very old drawings. I can not say exactly what year, but some are from 2016 and less:
Lately I am focused on learn how to make comics. but unfortunately my city is very small and there are no courses of it; I have not found online either.
If you ask about my studies, I must say that unfortunately I have not found university that interest me or go with me. I have gone through many to try, such as: multimedia design, periodism, theater and even tried to take English courses —in any case, my english isn't perfect—, but in the end nothing convinced me and I left halfway. The normal thing would be to study a career related to art, but here among us, I have seen that graphic design is very poor with respect to how it is taught in my locality. Nor do I have many options and I would lie if I said I know what to do with my future at this point.
For now the only thing I have are my drawings, my books and thousands of stories for writing and drawing. Also save for a new drawing tablet, which is my priority.
If I feel brave later I could talk about my original characters - especially because I think it's a good idea to have them "archived" now that I have a blog—. In fact, some are already in the drawings above.
And if I have to say something more about myself, it's that I love playing videogames since I was a little girl, I love soundtracks from movies, videogames and series, since they seem to me a source of inspiration par excellence, I don't have brothers or sisters, I have two cats and would love to travel outside of Argentina to visit other places. Pity the lack of money.
Anyway, we have to always walk forward!
I hope we can get to know each other better and be welcome to recommend me any group of artists!
