'From young I have had a passion for drawing. Drawing things ike sketchy faces, drawing animals, plants, just anything that gets my interest. It was not until when I was 12 years old till I started to attempt to draw in a realistic style. I started to get serious and bloomed in my passion for the realistic/sub-realistic style of drawing when i was 15 years old - where i underwent huge technical improvement due to the outburst of passion and observational practice within that period. From realistic portraits, I shifted my art style to not using direct references in certain drawings.
For those drawings that are based mainly on my understanding on translating tones through mind and emotions I feel, I include fantasy, and surreal elements. From there, I started with symbolisms and concepts that I can bring out onto paper. Normally I draw things that I feel, experienced or what I know/understand through other people's experiences and sufferings and use it as an inspiration for the concepts and moods I convey. I hope to explore further in the future with more ideas and different mediums. Art I feel is limitless and I hope to inspire people as I improve with the art that I do.'

The drawing I used the reference from a perfume magazine. I chose the the reference because I loved the expression and the mood in the picture. I wanted to use it as an opportnity to improve in my technical skills that's why i drew everything directly from the reference. Done for my art school interview.
