Meet the Artist

Hi, I’m Kent, an artist who creates detailed bird drawings.

I didn’t start there, though. In High School, I was really into art. I would use art pencils to draw trees, and old buildings. However, if my drawing didn’t look real, instead of learning from it, I would get disappointed in what I thought was my inability to draw. Eventually, out of frustration, I stopped drawing altogether.

Then, a few years ago, I bought an iPad and downloaded an art app called Procreate, mostly just to see what it could do. What started as casual experimenting slowly became something more intentional. I decided to keep art in a place that felt fun and relaxing—no pressure, no performance, just creating for the joy of it.

At first, I drew whatever came to mind: abstract doodles, space-themed pieces, crosses and swords. Each phase felt like a kind of search. Then one day, while sketching freely, I noticed a flower hidden in the scribbles. I followed it, which led to drawing more plant life and paying closer attention to detail and form.

Somewhere along the way, birds entered the picture—and everything clicked.

Now my work begins with observation and reference, but the finished piece is my own artistic expression. I study each birds form, color, and character, then bring it to life through my own understanding of light, shadow, and depth. My aim is not photographic reproduction, but a lifelike representation with my own unique style.
