Hello, my name is Riley Lipponen (I also go by Ricky). I am an autistic transgender man and an aspiring freelance illustrator. I am just 19 years old and my pronouns are He/They. I am a highschool graduate and ready to start looking for work with my art! I have been doing art since I was just a little kid and had actually begun practicing illustration in 6th grade, and still am to this day! I have been drawing for 8 years and plan to make a living with my skills. Since I am autistic and working is hard for me, I've decided that freelancing was the way to go. I am really hoping to grow my reputation as a freelance artist and have fun while doing so. My favorite kind of art to do is digital, and I really love to add texture to my digital art and use brushes that feel real. I really love using sketchy lines and having visible brush strokes. I am inspired by semi-realism art styles and also very stylized cartoony stuff, but most of all I love colors. When artists use unique ways to color and create really beautiful color pallets it just fills me with inspiration and I really hope to achieve that in my art some day.…Hello, my name is Riley Lipponen (I also go by Ricky).
