Many students first entering Sunlake as Freshman have many interesting hobbies outside of school. Freshman Nikhyll Machadl’s hobby is sketch art. Nikhyll has been practicing his art for 4 years and only hopes to improve his techniques and develop his style further. Nikhyll describes where he draws inspiration from “I just look at random people and I will be like, ‘Will that be cool to draw?’ and I just draw them on paper, I’ll also draw inspiration by looking at certain art styles because I’m still trying to find my own style.” He often likes to draw mostly human figures from various media he enjoys either currently, from his childhood such as from the show Steven Universe or just from people he sees in real life. Whenever school or life becomes too stressful he’ll often turn to art as a way to relive his stress and hone his skills at the same time. Nikhyll said “I started doing art because its always been fun and I just like doing things for fun.” He believes one day he may be able to make a profit from selling his art but it probably won’t become his main source of income and will largely remain a hobby for the foreseeable future
