I have a smaller sketchbook with Aya Sofya on the cover (another gift) which I use for my pencil sketches. Lately, I have been drawing exclusively in a lovely sketchbook a dear friend had personalized and gifted me. I love the intensity, the richness, the transparency, the luminosity about them! Watercolours are so unpredictable. When I paint, I enjoy using watercolours. Other times, I will draw the ‘skeleton’ of the building in black fineliner then add depth of colour and shade with a mix of pencil crayons, fineliners, and illustration markers. Sometimes I feel it can best be expressed with just black ink. Sometimes I feel I will be able to give the subject I am drawing its proper due with graphite pencils. I always get an equal rush of excitement and fear when I draw/paint my first stroke. In hindsight, I don't regret it because I believe opportunities will present themselves when the time is right.įor my drawings and sketches, I primarily use pencil, pencil crayons or pigment-based pens, and illustration markers. I had even won the Visual Art award for 2 years but I did not pursue a Fine Arts degree in University nor did I train in other institutions. In high school, I continued taking Art classes. I wasn't able to attend, but I kept that application form as a reminder.
I remember in Grade 6, my teacher had selected me and two other classmates to attend a Summer Arts camp.
Even in my other classes, I managed to somehow incorporate some Art into it, like drawing title pages for new units and assignments. By the way, my parents still have the coffee table I drew under! Throughout my elementary and secondary education, Art was my favorite subject. I would draw on any blank surface like the underside of the coffee table or the walls of our home! Much to the annoyance of my parents! I would make paper dolls or draw my favourite cartoon characters. I guess my journey to becoming an artist started when I was quite young.
