remarks
I am a skilled and fast sketcher with a steady hand.
My drawing style is versatile and has a humorous, stylized or businesslike character.
I especially like drawing and developing character designs with lots of emotions, poses and environments.
I would like to develop myself further in drawing storyboards and concept art for commercials and film productions.
