My Bio

Self Portrait - 23/08/2017

---> Welcome to my Gallery; I am 30 years old and my name I go by on the web is Razeal Blackbird or Razeal99 because I prefer that only people I know offline know my real name.


For those who want to know more about my origins here it is:


//--------------------------------------------------------------------------

I first started art as most artists have, on my school work. Back then I did Stick Figures all over my sheets normally trying to escape the page. Sadly though due to still life. which I disliked greatly, I came to the assumption that I hated art. During this time though I began writing stories thanks to my father's influence which helped me maintain my artistic mindset.


Once I hit my last year of public school my class had a maternity leave substitute teacher for the year Mrs. To. She was a Professional Animator who had previously worked on a cartoon show called "Hey Arnold!". I owe her a great deal, since she reminded me of what I loved about art. After nudging me for a while I created an artwork which caught her eye and she pushed for me to join the Art Club. Eventually I agreed to give it a try. During this time I learned a lot of the many skills I still use today such as thinking in 3D shapes and the lightest possible touch technique.


At the end of the year I created a teddy bear drawing which amazed me due to how much I had improved in such a short time. It is from this that I learned that if you truly enjoy doing something then you will excel at it naturally.

Well that is all I have to say about me, feel free to check out my gallery and favorites, if you haven't already, and feel free to leave me comments telling me what you think of my artworks. I really hope you enjoy them.

Hey, Just thought I should update this once again. Nothing to actually update about though, life is still moving along and I am still drawing and creating 3D models as well. Have been dealing with some health issues, but meh, nothing terribly new there; apparently being underweight for a prolonged period isn't good for your health. Who would have thought? lol. Mental health has also been suffering but eh, again nothing new, especially during Covid ... Working on both of those issues and seeing results in a couple of different ways, so no new immediate need for concern. Other than that though all is usual and slow. I am working on some potential art that may be posted on DeviantArt but it all depends on how I feel about the quality ... I may bring my quality expectations down, since I rarely post at all because of how high I set my bar ... We will see. Well I guess that is it for this "I am alive" update lol. Keep in mind I am off and on checking in (Nearly every day recently
