Mr Damian Smith MA
Founder, www.idrawthis.com
Welcome to idrawthis, a stunning online portfolio that showcases the extraordinary talent of Yorkshire-based Fine Artist Damian Smith. Born in Harrogate, North Yorkshire, The British Isles, in 1978.Since 1999, He has used Digital Art Programs to form a vast body of studies for Paintings, primarily Portraits, but also Landscapes and Abstract Designs, enabling His ideas to be formulated rapidly.
He utilises a mouse to draw and then heavily edits, to create compositional images and motifs.
More recently, He has begun using AI to envisage His Digital Artworks as Fine Art Sculptures.
