"The more you practice the better you you'll get", this was something that was told by everyone from the day one.
1. Back in 2013, no idea, no knowledge about sketching or shading. Didn't even know they have different pencils for different shades.
2. 2014, when I realized I can sketch hahaha! I was so inspired by 's work and started "practicing". Initially, I was obsessed with sketching eyes, or should I say eye? :p
3. The first time I challenged myself, in 2016. It was so rewarding to finish that sketch that I couldn't let it part from me!
4. 2018, yet another challenge! The moment I saw this photo by , I knew I had sketch that. It was so different from everything I was use to sketch, pretty and challenging. I took almost 6 month to finish that(obviously I never had so much time or energy to finish it sooner)!
5. Same year I switched from sketching to acrylic paintings and my first painting was a cute lil sunset sky. This gave me so much confidence to go ahead and explore more with acrylics.
6. One of my best paintings from 2019. Very challenging as it was huge! Also, so many colors, I was skeptical!
7. 2020 was not much, but I tried my best and continued to impore myself.
8. 2021, here we are, currently painting a tiger portrait! Oh, that's freaking challenging. Painting each and every fur, I was not ready for that π
but going with the flow!
