My name is Ryan Madrid, and I have been drawing for almost my entire life. I enjoy it and it took me some time to find what I felt was my own personal style. I have come to find that I love pencil and the classy feel of a drawing when I am done. I love black and white photographs, so it is only natural for me to love the grays of pencil drawings.

I was born in Tacoma, Washington but I have lived almost all of my life in a small town called Erie in Pennsylvania. I have had an eventful life, a lot good, but it seems just as much bad. My life is what made me what I am today, so I would change very little.

Over the past several years I began to take my drawing far more seriously and decided that I would like to do this for a career. I worked on my style some more and practiced until my hand hurt.
