When I draw, I never start with an idea. I just draw a random shape (like the head circle in this piece), and let my brain go as I draw more and more details. Something is so satisfying about staying up way too late in order to finish a piece. It's as if everything is on pause while making art, and the feeling of accomplishment afterwards is fantastic. When thinking more about my artistic process, I always keep one thing in mind: I'm not making art because I want validation from others, but rather because I just love creating it in the first place. Even if no one saw my art, I'd still make it just as frequently. I believe that art doesn't have to conform to what other people want to see, and I try to always remember this while making art of my own.

In drawing, creativity means letting go of everything troubling me, while my hands seem to start drawing on their own. It's when my mind is at rest when I can be truly creative with my art, and simply sitting down to draw creates that therapeutic feeling. Art is both a reward and an anchor for me.
