Artist of the Issue: Caleb Moon

By Robby Scianna

Caleb is a very artistic young man. No one knows why he’s so good at drawing. What is his secret? Today I will be finding out by asking him eleven questions.

When did you first start drawing?

I was born at a very young age and that is when I started drawing.

How often do you get compliments on your art skills?

Not that much, mostly just from my friends because they’re usually the only ones who see it because I don’t post online or anything.

Have you ever taken an art class?

No, never.

What are the common subjects of your illustrations?

I like to draw doodles about things from my school lessons when I am bored in class because it helps me retain the information better.

Is there anyone/anything that inspires your artwork?

Yes, my sister, the Westmont alumnus Katie Moon, whom I look up to.

Do you prefer using color or black-and-white?

Black and white.

What styles are your favorite to work with?

Digital art, animation, etc.

What is your least favorite?

Hands-on crafts are my least favorite because I’m not good at maneuvering my hands.

Have you ever been commissioned for your work?

Yes, one time a friend asked me to make a logo for him (I don’t have it anymore).

What is the hardest thing for you when it comes to art?

The hardest part is definitely finding the time for it, it’s hard to balance it with homework, especially now that I’m in four AP classes.

What would you say to someone who is just starting out?

Just be consistent when you practice and draw what you want to draw, you will improve while also having fun.
