Hello everyone!

Hi everyone,

my name is Julia and I'm a 28 year old artist from Germany. One of my best friends, the lovely @lioba, had just introduced me to this community and I was curious enough to come around and take a look as it sounds really interesting (and exciting!).

I've always been drawing and painting as far as I can think back in my life, so it seemed to be the obvious choice for me to also do it on a professional level, working as a Concept Artist and Illustrator for video games, books and Pen and Paper RPGs . I'm currently a freelancer and most of my income relies on client work, but there are some ideas to become more of a creator of my own, bringing my visions to life.

This is something where hopefully I can spend some more time on in 2018 and get a more clear outline for what I'm able to do. Where will be a lot of challenges which I have to take on.
Else I'm looking forward to continue some things I started last year, like having my own booth at Conventions or teaching students in art. I love this direct exchange with fans, enthusiasts and other artists. It's a great way to get to know others and grow together.

Another plan would be to do a second Sketchbook Slam Challenge (600 pages, one month) towards the end of the year.
I already did it successfully in November 2017 and it was quite the experience.

With everything that comes up I hope I can share some of it with the community to stay motivated and keep track of my progress. It would be awesome if I could provide some insights to help others as well on their journey while doing so.
So, if anyone has any questions or remarks, feel free to leave a comment!

And if I'm not drawing, I love it to go for walks. I'm quite the passionate Pokemon Go Player while I'm in the city. When I visit the country side on the other hand, I turn more to photography of nature and beautiful architecture of the past. Everything can be inspiration for me. So I try to keep my eyes open :)

I hope this will do for a first impression from my side.
I'm curious to see what all of you are doing!

Welcome to Steemit! Glad your friend introduced you because that is some pretty cool art! Oh I was obsessed with Pokemon go at first, but lost interest along with walking. Look forward to more, followed!
