My inspiration comes from personal experience and things that I see happening around me. The reason I draw Manga is because I used to watch Pokemon and to this day I still watch Teen Titans and I started to copy the style.

The drawing started when I was 8. Then when I was 10 (5 years ago) I started to get bullied because of the way I looked and drawing was my escape from reality. I drew what I felt which is why many of the drawings the people are crying. Being bullied hurt and that was reflected in the drawings. Everyday I saw someone getting bullied it would give me ideas for pictures (and yes I do help these people I'm don't have a heart of stone!) then when I got home I would draw the idea that I had had.

Being bullied isn't something to hide I made that mistake and drew my pain instead of speaking it. Don't make that mistake talk to someone about it and they can help sort the problem out.
