Introduction

     Hello there, my name is Lianna J.M Byles. I currently attend Dillard high and I'm in the visual arts program that they offer. Because of my love for art I decided to join the Digital media course expecting to learn more about the more intricate and digital sides of art. I hope to learn the core fundamentals of designing media, whether that be a website, magazine, or poster. I personally have never been very good at the more mathematical and technical sides of art, but I hope that taking this course will help me get accustomed and hopefully come to understand and like this part of the art learning process. For my hobbies I'd have to say that drawing, playing video games, and reading. Like I've said previously I'm a huge art fan and inspiring artist. My favorite artist are J.C Layendecker and  Kim Jung Gi so far, although their styles are very different from each other they both have qualities that I aspire to achieve in my own work. As for video games I've been playing them since I was young and my love for them have only grown since then. I personally like to play on the PlayStation but I have played on different consoles before such as an Xbox, Nintendo switch, and the Wii. My absolute favorite games are the Uncharted series, the last guardian, and  the Grand Theft Auto series to name a few. I essentially like anything made by the game companies Naughty Dog, Nintendo, Blizzard, or Sony. When I'm not drawing or playing video games I often like to read Novels and comics. I'm a big fan of Japanese comics or 'manga' and I read them daily. My favorite genre to read would probably be romance but with a lot of drama, particularly tragedies. I do read other types but that is my favorite to read, for both novels and manga. I sometimes base my art on the things I read which is a huge source of inspiration for my art. I do also watch movies and Tv shows from time to time but not as much as I did when I was younger. I do have some favorite movies like A Silent Voice, The pianist, and The God Father. I have some favorite TV shows too, like Breaking Bad, The kingdom, and The Avatar. I mostly like doing things art related so basically anything that has artistic characteristics I enjoy doing.
