Personally
Outside of coursework and lab work, I’m usually…
Drawing! I've been an artist for about a decade, now. I work often in traditional and digital mediums: preferably simple pencilwork traditionally, and I move deeper into color theory and whatnot when I work digitally.
I'm an amateur, but I love photography. My favorite shots were pretty taken pretty recently, the Blue Angels down at Pax River!
