When I was young, I absolutely loved to draw. It would be safe to say I was usually found with a pad of paper and some pencils or felt pens, often doodling different characters and such. I even created my own comic strip, which I would cheekily sell to my mum for pocket change. Drawing has always been, without a doubt, something I wish I could be more skilled at. It’s incredible to me how with just a few simple strokes of a pencil, someone can create something so distinguishable… and as much as love to draw, I would be no means call myself an artist.
