McNair has been drawing ever since she can remember. She writes, "I was always very shy, and as a child, I tried to draw things to make people laugh — it was my way of showing that I was smart and funny without having to talk."
McNair studied drawing and painting in college. Now, she works at Family Brothers, a little design studio, where she makes designs and drawings as a graphic designer and illustrator. "We mostly work with restaurants around the country, so you might see my work the next time you go out to eat."
McNair stays productive because she doesn't have a sofa in her small apartment. According to the artist, with limited space, she has to choose between working or sleeping, which helps her focus better. "If I had a sofa, I think I would be tempted to lounge around more often."
McNair loves to draw using her Blackwing pencils, perfecting her sketches on tracing paper until they're just right. When she switches to drawing with ink on paper, she picks from pens like Pilot Rolling Ball, Microns, or a Radiograph, depending on what she's creating.
But it's when she switches to drawing digitally on her computer using Photoshop and a Wacom tablet that she feels most free. Here, mistakes are no big deal because she can easily fix them by redoing them as many times as she needs.
