Buon Venerdì Danza!!

This week Friday, instead of sharing my own artwork, I'm introducing you to an incredible artist that I've come across in my journey. Some of you may recognize her art from the FanArt Friday Post

Musiriam's sheer talent shines through in her work & the detail is just amazing!

Meet Musiriam

She was born 6th June 1980 in Palermo (Italy). She started to draw when she was 5 years old and studied at the High school of Art for 5 years.

In 2002, she stopped to drawing and restarted in 2013 with Assassin's Creed drawings with ball-point pen. In these 3 years she's tried such techniques as, the ball-point pen, ink, watercolors and charcoal.

In this last year, she's also a digital artist, she started for fun, self-taught, and now she styles and works like a professional.

Musiriam loves to try new things and is keen on improving everyday.
