My name is Nhi Nguyen, or you can call me Leona as everyone in WPI does. I came from Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, which is an energetic city with many beautiful modern art galleries. Although being a RBE\/CS student, I cannot get rid Art out of my life: it’s part of what makes me today. Art comes to me when I’m alone when I’m blue or even when I want to capture some moments in life. My goal is to apply Art\/Design to my future job (I know it might hard in the robotics field, but some taste of art is necessary), or being a freelance Digital Artist as a side job. For traditional art, I love charcoal, sketches\/doodles, and watercolor too, although I’m not good at it. For digital art, I can do digital painting and illustration designs. Apart from painting, I also enjoy LEGO and seeing it as a way of performing art, somehow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ll tell you a secret: I was not confident in my arts and was dismissed from a honour Art class in Elementary school, but I believe that everyone can enjoy Arts, so look what I’ve had :<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It must have been the wind – August, 2020.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I would say I’m not very good at drawing, but my mixing colors is not that bad. This is one of my favorite digital paintings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My style is a mix of Manga style and semi-real back then. I always want to draw the most emotional painting, but I guess that will be in the far future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Effort – 2016<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Apart from digital painting, I also did some sketcht cartoons like this back in High school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Career – 2017<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I’m glad that I moved on from those negative thoughts. “Leon Brencht” is a nickname my grandfather (not related) gave me when I was 12, he is the one who inspires me with arts, he was a lacquer artist and material artist, he passed away 2 years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also do some traditional arts as well, recently I like drawing in charcoal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nice to meet you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
