Lafayette is not necessarily my favorite Guy but he is the one I have read the most books about because Washington is my favorite Guy and Lafayette is the gateway into Washington's heart.

Hello! I love your art. How did you get so good at fundamentals? Like, your ability to stylize and understanding of proportions and perspective are crazy.. is that art school, or are you self taught?

Hi! Thank you so much for such a wonderfully kind compliment and ask! It truly means so much to hear 💕 Yes, I did go to art school! Though it was not one of the big name ones you'll see where a lot of success stories come from lol. I feel like I didn't actually begin to understand or improve in the fundamentals until the last year when I was pointed in the direction of studying a bunch of professional animators especially on youtube. Ethan Becker and BAM Animation have some of the best videos that have seriously been the biggest influences in my style and approach to figure fundamentals and backgrounds. I have found that drawing from life, taking your own reference photos/videos, gestural drawing, drawing over your favorite scenes from movies or artists work (for practice) and breaking down their character poses/color work/etc really helps for getting in the right headspace for compositions. I studied 2D Animation and have been lucky enough to be working in game dev as an artist for 4 years, though I am still trying really hard to improve and my dream is to break into the animation industry.

"I have often and often… looked at that [sun] behind the President without being able to tell whether it was rising or setting: but now at length I have the happiness to know, that it is a rising, and not a setting Sun." Happy 250 💕

Before meeting with Lafayette (after years apart)

After meeting with Lafayette That "heartfelt satisfaction" becomes "gloom." That eternal "sleep" becomes a "dreary tomb." The gentle flow "down the stream of life" becomes a "descending hill." All the same beautiful, lively, optimistic imagery of a peaceful retirement to death is suddenly clouded in darkness and misery. Three years brings haze to a relationship, but a reminder of what life is like with someone you care for so deeply, and knowing in your soul that this will be your last moment together, alters that positive perception. Fear of being torn from the profound company of the living makes death something to dread.
