Hello, my name is Leilanie Gill and I am in my first year as an art student. My major is animation, minoring in Video game development. Drawing into Space is a course I was interested in after I took Drawing Foundations with Sergio, a wonderful professor. He told me that drawing was very very important if you wanted to become an animator and this was the perfect place to increase my skills as an artist.

Drawing is a form of creative freedom that lets our thoughts flow in different spaces. In my space, I primarily use paper with the medium of charcoal or graphite, but lately I have been exploring the world of digital space. Its a completely different field from what I am used to but that’s what makes drawing fun. There’s so many mediums and spaces to draw that every experience is different! This is a huge reason why I chose to join this class. I’m ecstatic to grow into a better drawing/artist through this class.
