Taking the Leap

My name is Beola Daily and I'm a 20 year old introvert, but I am no recluse! There is a difference, and I do enjoy speaking with people about a myriad of topics. I have no intention of enrolling into an art school, and am mostly self taught (I have had some formal academic training in art). I have every intention of taking atelier courses however! Bahahaha!! Formalities, formalities! 

I've decided that I really need to put myself out there (like, now). I've known that I needed to, but I've been in the closet for so long, keeping things "local." 'Twas comforting for a time, but that time has come to an end. It can be really intimidating when taking the first steps to jumping into the fray, but I need to push it. I need to push myself. This blog will serve as a record of my progress as an artist and as an individual. So here I am, and here we go.

I truly hope to meet awesome people and develop new and refreshing relationships.

Here are a handful of studies from the weekend and today, and a character I'm currently designing. Hopefully she'll be an integral part of something...bigger.
