What the heck happened to DA? It's all...sleek-ish? But also kind of confusing? I leave you all alone for a year and a half and you go and turn this site upside down! Wow, it's really been a year and a half. That's so crazy!
Are any of my watchers even still active?
Do ya'll remember me?
Let me reintroduce myself!
Heyo! My name is Aloubell (Aloe for short) and I am a hobbyist digital artist as well as a published children's book author. I've been drawing for as long as I can remember, and, thanks to the Lord, my art journey continues! As a Christian, I give full acknowledgement that all success I get from art and life in general is thanks to my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I'm proud to say He has helped make each and every art piece of mine possible.
My style is honestly an amalgamation of many styles I've seen over the years, but the most notable influences are: the movie Song of the Sea, the video game Odin Sphere, and anime in general. I love to use bright, vivid colors in my portraits and illustrations. My coloring style may change, but those vivid colors will stay consistent.
It is my dream to be a full time children's book author; to share my illustrations with the world and inspire imagination.
I'm very much still learning how to be better as an artist, so I appreciate your support on my journey!
A year and a half ago, I left DA because I felt like my art wasn't getting any exposure and that the site only favored those who were already famous. I still kind of feel this way, but about a month or two ago, I decided to get serious and pursue art as a career. In order to successfully do that, I need to have my art out there for more audiences to see.
So here I am. Back at my old stomping grounds.
I'm praying that things will be different this next time around, but I guess we'll see! I've drawn well over a hundred pieces since I left...maybe 200 or 300 idk, but I won't upload them all. I'll be uploading my drawings from the beginning of July of this year and will upload every day until I reach my current works.
And if you are interested in my current works, feel free to check out my Instagram. https://www.instagram.com/aloubell/
Thank you all for your support and I look forward to reconnecting with you all! <3
