artwork portfolio: digital and hand drawn

I have always enjoyed drawing since childhood.

Over the years, I have used several types of media to render animals, scenery and at times, people.

Once I learned Photoshop, it seems the possibilities were endless.  I enjoyed using this program so much I would do extra work, beyond learning how to use it for web design.
