How I Got Started With Art

The earliest I can remember actually making art that I wanted to look good or realistic was around 6th grade. I kept a spiral bound journal that I drew pictures in in my locker that I shared with another girl for some reason. At end of the semester I went to get my sketchbook and it was gone.…I was a little upset but fast forward to high school. I got an actual sketchbook or two and continued my hobby until college where I was encouraged to officially train to become an artist.
