The moment that sparkled with the world of art. It was the time where my grandfather taught me how to draw a basic drawing style which I was amazed about "drawing" and parents always brought me comic books every time they went back home so that's open my eyes for seeing stories with features and I wanted to strive in this industry to use art to delivered and share many kind of stories and my own experience.
