ABOUT ME
My name is Kevin Li. I am a digital artist. I literally create art using a laptop and a drawing tablet. I was brought into the world on April 11th, 2001, someplace in Oakland, California. Currently, I reside in Stockton, California. What do I create? Everything. I draw inspiration from anything and everything. My backyard, the streets, and the places I’ve visited. It isn’t only limited to real life, either. I take from video games, anime, and other things on the internet. I prefer fiction, so most of the time I’ll draw from fiction. My goal is to hopefully create a career out of my abilities, whether it’s through creating art for myself or creating art for another.
BIOGRAPHY
Before I was even a year old, my family decided to move houses across the United States, and so we ended up in Dublin, Ohio. A year later, my brother was born. I would spend most of my elementary school years there before moving again, about a decade later, back to California. This time we ended up in Stockton, and I have lived here since. My life up to this point has not been easy. I suffered from depression and anxiety throughout middle school and high school, due to excessive bullying, to the point where I completely silenced myself. I wasn’t incapable of speaking, but I didn’t want to. Regardless of what happened, I kept going, solely believing in myself and believing that things would eventually get better. I was a vessel of bottled up emotions, and to this day, I still am. The last two years of high school were my happiest as I found things I never thought I would have, my voice, friends, and a goal. However, after I graduated high school, I was lost again, and the sadness I escaped two years ago crept back to me. All of the negative thoughts in my head continued to hold me back. Despite giving up on hoping my life would get better, I kept going, realizing that my life from this point would just get harder. Eventually I ended up at University of the Pacific, where I’m currently majoring in MediaX, which is essentially all things media related. However, I don’t have a main focus. If someone asked me, I would say I wanted to be a digital artist, but truthfully, I don’t know. I still have a long road ahead of me, but I have a changed mindset; I’m not the same person I was years ago.
ARTIST BIOGRAPHY
I am a digital artist. I create art using a laptop and a drawing tablet. That being said, drawing on a tablet isn’t my only strength. I can draw using the traditional pen, pencil, charcoal, etc. If there was something I wanted to improve on, it would probably be painting, and just understanding color in general. What do I draw? Everything. I draw inspiration from anything and everything. My backyard, the streets, and the places I’ve visited. It isn’t only limited to real life, either. I take from video games, anime, and other things on the internet. I prefer fiction, so most of the time I’ll draw from fiction. My goal is to hopefully create a career out of my abilities, whether it’s through creating art for myself or creating art for another.
