Can you share to us your favorite project that you created? Do you ever feel like you like some of your artworks less as time goes by and your digital painting skills improve?
In fact, I don’t have a favorite project, each one of them has a great memory attached to it, whether it is related to the process through which it was done, for its repercussion, or because of good clients. I really like some of the commissioned portraits that I have delivered, each drawing has a strong story behind it as well as a great reason why the client would like to gift the other person with it. Some are sad, some are happy. I think those are my favorite, but I don’t usually disclose this kind of work because they are property of the clients.
Yes. From a technical point of view, I get bothered when I see my old works, sometimes even those that aren’t that old, because I can see many mistakes that at the time I had no knowledge of or I hadn’t studied about.
Do you ever go through down times when you are not happy with your own work or skills? If so, how did you deal it?
Yes, every day. I am never satisfied with my work, and that is what motivates me to go on working hard.
Could you please give us a little bit information about the inspirations behind your FTHR project and how long have you had been working on it? How did you come up with the idea? It looks really beautiful!

Thank you! I started this piece as a sketch at the beginning of the year, and I decided to finish it this March. The finalizing process took about a week, and its time was shared with other drawings and studies.
I am very influenced by the works and artists of the fine arts, I really like realism as well as the aesthetics of traditional painting, acrylic, oil. And with this drawing, it was no different. I wanted to do a good rendering that at the same time would have movement and brush strokes. The model’s features were based on a fashion photograph. I was also inspired by the movement of the fire and I tried to use lively colors that would match its movement.
