——————————————————<\/p>\n

I have always wanted to, for as long as I can remember, to be a children’s books author and illustrator. I loved to draw when I\u00a0was at school and my art teacher encouraged me to follow this direction. I, however, also wanted to win the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, so I pursued a career in the latter than the first ( I didn’t win the Nobel Prize though).<\/p>\n

During the summer of 2013 however, I decided that it was time for me to look into a career change, and I\u00a0chose to focus on my Illustration skills. I enrolled at London Art College in October 2013 and finished my course in January 2014. My favourite illustration from the course was the one about the two friends travelling the world together. Its also available on my Facebook page<\/a>.\u00a0I used watercolour pencils and ink for this one.<\/p>\n

Since graduation, I have developed my skills and I believe I have found my style. I have experimented with a lot of different styles and medium, until I\u00a0found one that I\u00a0am comfortable with.<\/p>\n
