Hiya, my name is Gaia . I am an 80's child and I have been focusing on drawing portraits over the the last year.
I am a self taught pencil portrait artist and I used to work with digital art and copic markers. However, while I was studying, I had to keep art on the back burner. This gave me the time to miss art and when I finally had the time to do art again, I gained a new attraction to pencil portraits.
I mainly pick high quality photos of celebrities to work from as they provide the amount of detail that I like to work with, such as the texture of the skin and details of hair. As you will see from my gallery, I sometimes like to dabble in working with paints, such as watercolours and acrylics. It is nice to work with colour every now and then, but I think I gain more pleasure from doing pencil portraits as they can be very intricate and I get to push myself each time.
I like a good challenge. :)

I hope we can connect and thank you for looking at my Gallery. Let me know what you think!
Hi all! It's been a while, How are you?
I have no idea who will see this, but I have a new art blog now. I basically get the opportunity to talk about what I draw and showcase other creative outlets I have (such as illustrations). I also write about common art problems or general arty thoughts.
If you do have the time, please have a look. It's early days and I hope it grows into something we can all relate to.
Here it is:
