Interests
Sketching
Sketching
Sketching has always been a skill I've enjoyed, not only as a way to express creativity but also as a tool for problem-solving. I've explored various styles, from sketching cars with detailed lines and curves to creating caricatures that capture exaggerated features with a playful touch. My passion for art allows me to visualize ideas quickly and effectively, whether it's designing a new interface or simply letting my imagination run wild on paper. This skill helps me refine concepts, communicate ideas clearly, and bring my creative visions to life in a hands-on way.
