paintings since 2oo5 //
Although I've only recently been painting, I've been working very hard experimenting over the past two years to improve my skills. Unlike when I started drawing, I immediately made attempts to paint realistically rather than animé-style so that I could have a chance at passing College Board's AP Studio Art - Drawing exam in May 2006. Despite having one year of painting experience and a lingering influence of caricature style at the time, I passed.

Although I passed that exam, I felt I had no reason to stop painting.
