When I Got Older I Stopped For Awhile Because My Interests Changed. But, When I Turned 15 I Found Out About Digital Art And Was Fascinated That People Could Create Such Realistic Potraits. From Teaching Myself How To Draw Digitally And Posting My Art On Social Media (Like Instagram), I Came Across Many Artists And Fashion Illustrators.
