How long have you been drawing or illustrating?
I started working as a 3D illustrator 2 years ago. Before illustrating, I had a completely different profession, but no less creative. Then, drawing was just a hobby.
When did you feel like you discovered your style? How did it happen?
My style is based on modern illustrations. One of my friends shared the works of Omar Akil and Peter Tarka, and I was so impressed with their work that I wanted to create something similar. Thus, under their influence, my style was formed.
