Naive Beginnings and Learning the Basics - Post 2017

My first sketches were tentative, filled with apprehension. I remember feeling unsure, almost nervous sharing my work. But through classes and practice, I began to develop confidence and understanding of fundamental techniques like shading, proportion, and composition.

There were times that I thought about tunring back home on my way to class.

Some of my early works may seem juvenile, but they represent my first steps in a long path of growth.

“Every artist starts somewhere. My early sketches taught me valuable lessons about patience and perseverance,”  I often remind myself.
