Akemi Watanabe

I started drawing at age 5 with my father's influence who is a self taught artist.
Studied human anatomy as a registered nurse for a many years not knowing
I was preparing for my current passion for life drawing.
My goal is to create my figure drawing as having more emotion and feeling than the subject itself.
