About the Artist- Akanksha

My name is Akanksha K Krishnan. I am 10 years old, and I live in Singapore. I want to be an Artist and a Veterinarian since I love animals and nature which I try to feature in my art.

Speaking about art, I started drawing when I was 5 years old but truly started working on my skill when I was eight. I go to an art class called Tree Art for two hours every Saturday, and it’s the best time of my week. I am good at painting (and drawing!) animals, and I drew a portrait of my dog-Yoda. But anime drawing is what I like best, I am good at drawing the eyes that are a feature of anime but need to work on how I draw hands. Currently I’m using physical tools to produce my art, but l aim to get started on digital art which my uncle, Karna has been motivating me to work on.

My dream is to get into Raffles Girls School (Secondary). It is one of the good schools in Singapore that offers a wide variety of art subjects. There is also pottery, sketching and many more! You are probably wondering why I want to get into Raffles Girls School instead of SOTA (School of the Arts). Well, it is because I have more chance of getting into RGS than SOTA.

Earlier, I mentioned about my love for nature and animals and trying to feature it in my art. The truth is that I want to spread awareness to the world about the things that are happening. Things such as the poaching of animals and the endangering of nature. Bushfires, the cutting of trees and the endangering of animals happen around the world every day and barely anybody cares to do something about it. But I want to do something about it. I want to help the world realise what is happening on our planet through art.

This blog is my attempt to showcase my journey and my artwork to those interested in knowing more about me. Hope you like it and feel free to send me feedback at this email address:
