Original Digital Art

My name is Jonathan and I'm an 18 year old, multi-racial artist with FASD. I've been drawing ever since I could hold a crayon, and ever since Covid quarantine I have focused on making the switch from hand-drawn into digital art, using programs like ibisPaint X and Clip Studio Paint with big dreams to open an indie animation studio one day and put my many stories on the big screen. 

I have two pet snakes and I am a huge reptile lover. I also like ocean animals like octopuses and squids. My favorite genres are horror, mystery, and fantasy. I'm also really into mythology and other legends. 

Disney's "The Little Mermaid" is what inspired me to draw and become an animator in the first place - which is probably why so many of my characters have red hair! "Tangled" comes in as a close second for reinforcing my love of drawing flowing hair and clothes. 

My favorite games of all time are; Danganronpa, Identity V, Ace Attorney,  Bayonetta (besides 3 - we don't talk about Bayonetta 3) and Genshin Impact.

My Instagram handle is @lukjchaaaaaaa if you want to keep up with more of my stuff, or see an archive of my digital art journey with pictures that may not have made it to the website! 

Take a look through my galleries to see some examples of what I create! I love drawing my own or others original characters, fan art of media I like, and concept designs for fashion and outfits. 

My style is very colorful and stylized with the intention for it to be diverse and animation friendly - and my commissions are currently open!

My ultimate goal is to have my own animation studio. I have already won awards for my art and animation pieces, such as a first place "DIGI" for the animation category in 9th grade for a three minute long hand drawn animated presentation on "The Silk Road" that I did for a history project in school.
