Hand Drawing
I have a penchant for starting all my projects at the drawing board, quite literally. Drawing, for me, is more than just a means of illustration—it's a distinct form of communication that has the power to express thoughts and ideas where words may fall short. It's a process that engages the mind in a unique way, allowing for exploration, creativity, and discovery in ways that words alone cannot achieve

Drawings have a tendency to evolve much like a flower. At the outset, you sit down with a blank page and make a few initial marks, akin to tiny leaves peeking out of the soil. As you continue to nurture and refine your creation over time, you gradually begin to visualize what wasn't there previously. While there exists a vast array of drawing styles and techniques, many follow this organic development process, blossoming into something beautiful with patience and care
A drawing has the flexibility to be as simple or complex as you desire. Consider a ribbon, for example—how detailed should it be? The level of detail depends entirely on what you are trying to convey. Is a single line on the page sufficient to convey the essence of the ribbon, or does the context demand something more intricate and elaborate? Ultimately, the level of detail in a drawing should be dictated by the message you aim to communicate and the impact you wish to achieve

First Drafts
A drawing has the power to transform sparks of inspiration into something greater. In both of these instances, the challenge was to communicate a brand new idea for the very first time. Through the medium of drawing, we were able to bring these concepts to life, giving them form and clarity that could be understood and appreciated by others.
With the prevalence of computers, hand drawing often doesn't make it to the final stage anymore. Nevertheless, it remains a powerful tool throughout the creative process. However, incorporating a bit of digital assistance can enhance and refine the final product, ensuring that the vision is realized to its fullest potential.
Final Drafts
Drawing can serve as a simple form of expression. Sometimes, you encounter something that evokes a particular emotion or feeling, and you feel compelled to capture it visually. In these moments, drawing becomes a means of externalizing and processing those emotions, allowing you to convey and explore your innermost thoughts and sentiments in a tangible form.
