Drawing has always been a fundamental aspect of my art. It serves as the foundation for everything, as understanding form is crucial in painting. I constantly travel with my sketchbook, maintaining a drawing journal. This practice is an essential exercise for any artist, as it hones observational skills and enhances the ability to capture the essence of subjects. Keeping a drawing journal allows me to document my experiences, refine my techniques, and continuously evolve as an artist. Through these sketches, I explore new ideas and deepen my connection to the world around me.
