Drawing is an art form that involves the use of an instrument to mark a two dimensional surface. Traditionally, artists used analog media.
I studied science, so I drew fossils and on maps, and I learned programming. Then I got a pocket computer with a plotter. My first Mac had a graphic interface and printer. I now use digital tools to create images. Nowadays, I work with digital art media (pen display, and mouse). Digital art requires creativity. My work is layered. First I used raster graphics software (MyPaint). Nowadays, I use the vector graphics application Inkscape. I belong to two art clubs.
