<\/p>\nHi, my name is Rachael Sallie, and I\u2019m a freshman CS major. I was born here in Massachusetts but moved to Pennsylvania when I was 9. I\u2019ve been making digital art for the past several years and I largely use apps on my iPad like Procreate and Sketchbook Pro. I tend to draw a lot of nature and scenery, and I also enjoy taking photos of these things as well. My family often stays by a pond in the woods of Maine during the summers, so this may have influenced my interest in nature. I also enjoy playing tabletop rpgs like Dungeons and Dragons, which has influenced some of my artwork.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This is a drawing of my character named Silis in a tabletop rpg called Spell. After being separated from her twin sister Liril, she was raised in the woods by a spirit named Lucaris and is now able to use plant-based magic. She feels a strong connection to nature and the spirits as a result of her upbringing, but also unfortunately lacks experience interacting with other people.<\/p>\n

I participated in Inktober 2017, which has a theme for each day. This drawing was for the theme \u201cGigantic\u201d. I knew I wanted to draw a giant tree, but choosing a final design was difficult. I drew many different trees before I got to this final version.<\/p>\n

I drew this after feeling inspired by some art videos online. I wanted to try drawing something different from the typical forest scenes I tend to draw. It was largely practice drawing water and some man-made structures in the background.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
I was inspired to draw this after listening to this music:\u00a0https:\/\/m.youtube.com\/watch?v=IEsdTqfoOc4 (The Adventure Zone Wonderland Megamix). I have been working on improving my drawings of people and in this drawing I especially focused on figuring out the shading of facial features and drawing fabric.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
This is my most recent drawing (not counting my icon) and one of the first things I drew after getting back to campus. I was inspired to draw a river after seeing a really pretty drawing of one online. I also took this opportunity to practice drawing more man-made structures.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
I drew a tree for my icon due to my interest in nature and my tendency to draw trees and forests. My inspiration largely comes from nature, so I felt it was an appropriate symbol to represent me.<\/p>\n
