1. What traits does my artist persona have? I decided to create a princess with water ability to represent my Artist Avatar, as she is able to create life with her water ability, representing my creative energy and my love for constantly creating and drawing. I decided to choose a mix of eastern attire to reflect my love for Chinese and Japanese traditional dress as well as their culture. Her red attire represent burning passion, while koi fishes, In Japanese, "koi" 恋, also stands for "affection" or "love", so koi are symbols of love and friendship in Japan. Which fits my Artist Avatar which represents love for creativity.
2. How could art school help my learning process? I am currently a student in Ngee Ann Polytechnic and have learned a lot especially with using digital tablet, creating colour script and storyboards, as well as the importance if gesture drawing.
3. What is my dream career in the arts? My Dream career is to become an illustrator for a game or movie studio, I would like to do concept art too.
