(4 of 4) “Even during the era of the internet, where all the knowledge and techniques are served on a silver plate to us, I still believe there is nothing better than drawing from real life. What your eye can observe there is something you won’t see in any taken picture. Nothing is ever still and nothing ever stays the same. Accept what world gives you, respect it, and use it to its fullest potential.”
