Sine Hagestad

Hi there, I’m Sine and I'm a Norwegian hobby artist! Currently I study biology and I love to learn about animals and their fascinating traits. Most importantly, to understand how humans affect life in the ocean and on land. My main source of inspiration is the fantastic nature! There is nothing more important to me than to explore nature, be outdoors, and see all the fascinating animals with my own eyes! Drawing and painting helps me to process all the impressions I get from nature. I hope to show you that animals are fun to draw! My first drawings I felt really proud of were of birds. Start your creative journey by drawing animals you find engaging. Learn more about them, and you’ll discover your knowledge makes the animals even more inspiring! Let’s go!
