This spread is taken from my sketchbook, in which I explore the expressions and anatomy of the human back. As the title suggests, I tend to regularly study different features of the human body to strengthen my understanding of my characters and body types as well. In practicing this, I find creating my stories and lore about my characters to be easier and more free-flowing, with the way their bodies are constructed to help support their background stories and information. Simply sitting down and studying the body doesn't come easy for me - rather, I find myself often drawing at random intervals of the week, with no truly consistent schedule. When I've gathered enough sketches and drawings in the end, I like to compile them together to create a collage of my works. Additionally, I'd add small pieces of my week that were significant, such as in this piece where I included a notecard I had prepared for my upcoming AP US History exam. Putting all of my work together, whether that be art or for school, always gives me a sense of satisfaction and completion.

Creativity to me means being able to craft my stories in a way that comes from my mind to medium, to bring emotion to its viewer when they observe it. Creativity means to pour my emotions and thoughts onto the paper so that I'll have fun with it's final result.
