Hello, my name is Elijah Hawkins. I'm a 21-year-old, Junior at Western Carolina University, majoring in fine arts with a focus in graphic design. I'm from Franklin, NC, and I've lived in the Smokey Mountains all my life. I really started getting into art around the middle of my junior year of high school. I started carrying a sketchbook everywhere I went. Since then I've strived to draw or do something creative every day. So far I've filled up five sketchbooks and working on the sixth. Recently I have started getting into digital art using an iPad, and so far I'm really enjoying it.
