Hello! My name is Cassie, but I go by “Mina” on the internet, and I would prefer that over using my full name so random rapists don’t climb through my window at night. ;D I’m 16 and I mostly use pencils, pens, and my tablet (Wacom Bamboo Craft). I mainly draw in Paint Tool Sai and edit in Photoshop Elements 6. I’m a full-time student and the oldest of five, so it’s kinda hard for me to get past sketching anymore. >_< I mostly draw anime and realism, and sometimes caricatures. Oh, I’m 100% self taught. Outside of art class in middle school, I’ve never attended an art class. ;D

I like anime, manga, blue, teal, my boyfriend, chocolate, and sketching out stories. I also write, paint, bake, animate, typography, photography, do some 3D, and play video games. But those don’t belong here. ^^ I hope to major in graphic or video game design. My Xbox Live gamertag is BluexViper if you want to add me. (CoD 4, Black Ops, and Left4Dead 2 mostly.)
