Introductory post~ :D


I am Mai Lo Thao (Mai Lo is my whole first name), and a sophomore trying to major in Graphic Design, and thinking about minoring in Packaging. I like watching anime, doodling, playing games, and other things that get my brain’s creative juices boiling. I am okay at drawing human eyes and faces, but I suck at drawing bodies. haha~ That’s why I decided to take Life Drawing instead of another drawing class. I like to draw and do various things in Photoshop. I also like to do a little bit of web designing sometimes with my limited knowledge of CSS, HTML, and PHP. I code everything with Notepad (Windows) or SubEthaEdit (Mac), I hardly ever touch Dreamweaver (probably why I lack knowledge of coding and such~). In the future I hope to have a job as an artist somehow. What I would like to do with my Graphic Design major, is to hopefully design things for advertisements and all that good stuff in the future~ Someone that really got me interested in drawing and imaginative stuff is the Japanese Animator Hayao Miyazaki. He has made several successful animated movies that most people whom have watched Japanese animation have seen. His movies help me get more imaginative or they bring me back to my childhood days, which I hope I might also get to do for someone in my years ahead of me.
