Tutorial

To become an illustrator is a long process... It will take time and patience to master it. First you have a passion doing this as a profession and you are enjoying to do it. Constant practice must be apply to perfect your drawings.

"Failure will never overtake me if my determination to succeed is strong enough" ( Don't know the author ) But I remember,  this is the quote I have written on illustration board and hanged it on wall in my bedroom when I was in high school.

This is my story...

 I was five years old when I got interested in drawing. I was not enrolled yet but fond of sketching on pavements, walls using chalk or any stuff that could be used in writing. When I went to school as first grader, I was seven years old then, my teacher noticed me I was always sketching on my notebooks. Sometimes my other teachers form other subjects, scolded me for not writing a lesson instead my notebooks were full of drawings. I did not stop…I followed my heart and continue my desire to become an illustrator.

My interest in drawings became part of my daily life specially when I was on my high school days. I got interested in drawing human figures, everything I saw and imagined, I sketch and draw using different mediums.. There’s no internet yet at that time. I was always in Library searching for art books and artists. I was so impressed with the works of the masters like Michael Angelo, Leonardo Davinci, Raphael and other well known local painters like Fernando Amorsolo, Botong Francisco, Juan Luna and others.

My passion in arts was developed with my constant practice and  continued to go on…until now.

And the rest is history...
