Starting to Dabble in Art Again

It's been a while since I've actually been motivated to draw or do anything else creative. With my interest in becoming a Student Affairs Professional for art schools, I want to do my best to cater to the art students by being true to myself. So I have decided to go back into getting into my art projects. I have some drawings that I've done over the past few months in my sketchbook. Here's one of them:

This is a picture of Kat Blaque, a YouTuber I admire a lot because she speaks the truth as a trans woman of color and size. I really love how much that she has influenced me to keep on drawing and never give up. She has also inspired me to stay "woke" (aware of social justice issues in the world today) in a "sleep" (ignorant or refusal to see any social justice issues in the world today) society.

I only own the Neutral Gray Copic Markers so far, but I intend on growing my collection as soon as I have enough money to buy them (they aren't cheap, about $6 to $7 per marker).

She has a great amount of influence in a lot of people's lives and even speaks at colleges now aside from her YouTube gig and Everyday Feminism posts. I was lucky to meet her last month and I am still grateful for meeting her.

I have also done a couple more pictures that I will share with you all in the next few weeks when I am done with school and I am not working for the season.

I will be creating a YouTube channel/series called "Student Affairs Animator" where I will be animating and vlogging current topics that I wish to talk about that goes on in the student affairs and higher education field. I have also created a Patreon for those who wish to become my Patrons. This will include both my Student Affairs Animator project and my fictional project, Serenity Chronicles, which I have been working on for the past eight years.

I hope to use this opportunity to improve on my art and to do what I love the most: being creative.
