Name: Steve Brokenshire
Occupation: Student / Artist / Upgrading Computers
Weapon: Mallet of DOOM!
So, explain a bit about yourself: Well, I'm somewhat a small person (not sure if 5' 5" counts for being small though ^^;). I am currently studying for a National Diploma for Computing at Cornwall College St. Austell having been to and survived secondary education (it was hell, especially in the last year). I currently live in the town of St. Austell in Cornwall. (The Valley of Doom as one of my friends called it).
What made you want to become an artist? It all started about four years ago (at the time of rewriting this webpage) when I saw someone who was about the same age as me drawing and I learned how to draw from watching her. So at around Christmas 1999 I decided to have a go (and colour it in as well ^^;) and I show the picture to her and she was impressed with it so I began to draw more from then onwards. ^_^
So what other things is Steve interested in then? Well, I do a bit of computing related stuff (such as adding components to my computers) and listening to music from the past (since it's much better than the rubbish which is currently being produced) from groups like Pet Shop Boys, Air, Madness and Right Said Fred. I also listen to a bit of Japanese and Korean pop ^_^.
What mediums does Steve use then?
| Basic HB Pencil, Standard High Street Drawing Pad |
| Basic 0.1, 0.3 and 0.5 fine-liners |
| The GIMP / Inkscape |
