Drew Cossa_Statement Outline

A majority of my work as an artist revolves around drawing people as cartoon alter egos of themselves. It is very compelling to me to try and nail the character design down to a science and to explore drawing each character with varied emotions and from different angles. I really enjoy showing people my art, so when the picture is a representation of the viewer I feel they will enjoy it even more. I was inspired early on by graphic novels such as Captain Underpants and hand drawn independent videogames like Castle Crashers and Alien Hominid. The simplicity of the art style gave me the confidence to produce work myself and here I am still drawing my viewers.
