Foreword (UPDATED AND IMPROVED OMG)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm Shirley/Sherry, and this DA page is a platform for my after-work art sessions.

Although I've been professionally trained in art, my stint in art school has made me lose interest in art after graduation.

A year later I've decided to go back to drawing in attempts to revive my skill(s).

I am also an apprentice baker- NOT ANYMORE- WAIT WHAT? OK IDK. WILL KEEP BAKING FOR NOW LOL.

Styles and Influences
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My fascination with the "Painted/Watercolour" feel (and emulation of it in my work) can be traced back to Fragonard's "The Reader" when I took art history lessons during my tertiary education period.

Contemporary artists who execute similar techniques are present in huge numbers, but amongst all of them, Kamitani George of Vanillaware, and a JP Pixiv artist by the name of "Aro" influence my works the most.

As of recent I have also begun to study Vofan's (aka the Magician of Light) colouring methods, and Poyoyon★Rock's "Puni" style.

Gil Elvgren's legendary pin-up art also garner much respect from me.

Misc. Info
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Other than art, I enjoy listening to music with proper audio instruments, and brewing Tea/Coffee and/or laughing at Spotted Doves.

I also speak a few languages, English and Japanese being two of them.

If I'm not baking/ getting baked in a bakery somewhere, I'm probably sitting at home and drawing pictures of bread.

Just because.
