We all knew how to draw before we ever learned to write. That’s why I think drawing is such a misunderstood ability. Everyone can do it.

What matters is whether we choose to do it at all — and how we choose to do it.

I’ve been drawing for as long as I can remember. My mom used to work at a testing lab and would bring home piles of paper — printed only on one side. We didn’t have internet or a TV, and I couldn’t even read back then. So I spent my time drawing with a cheap HB pencil… also borrowed from my mom’s workplace.

I spent most of my childhood drawing like that. I wanted to take a proper drawing class to prepare for the entrance exam to study Architecture — but it wasn’t allowed. So, the only “training” I ever got was one short month during my final year of high school.

I always resented that my drawing “hobby” wasn’t supported when I was younger. Maybe that’s why I was so determined to improve once I arrived in Germany.

My biggest inspiration, of course, is the late Master Kim Jung Gi. I also grew up reading Marvel Comics, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Punch Man... and honestly, I think you can see it in my style.
