Hello,
I’m YBereneth, I‘m 23 years old and from Germany.
I started drawing and painting when I was about 10.
I created this page in my teens and there are some old things online in my gallery (and journals) I am not too fond of any more but I decided to not take anything down hence I believe it might be interesting seeing my „roots“. Please don‘t judge me too harshly for things I might have written or drawn back then, I constantly try to improve, I promise!
Jokes aside, positive, constructive criticism is most welcome, it is always good to know how to do something better and to learn from one's own mistakes. I value the opinions of others very highly.
My main interests art-wise are illustrations and portraits, mainly of characters/scenes out of a variety of novels, films and fandoms although I try to broaden my spectrum.
Other interests of mine are history, archaeology and art history. I had courses of the latter in University and I believe studying the Old Masters is quite helpful for improving one's own art.
I also should mention that I still am on my journey of finding my own art style and dabble in a lot of different styles, themes and media. If you have any suggestions of what I should try out – please, go ahead!
