Hi there!
My name is Skyee and I started drawing cute characters when I was 6. I work as an animator now and I really enjoy drawing in general, especially cute characters including animals and food objects. It is so much fun to animate my artworks to make them come to life! I want to create a dreamy place and hope that my art and guidance can bring happiness to others!
