3. Are you now considering yourself as a talented and skilled-off artist?
FOR ME NO, THERE’S STILL A WIDE ROOM FOR IMPROVEMNTS. LAHAT NG SKILLS NA
ALAM KO NGAYON AY SELF STUDY AND WALA OA KONG ORIGINAL PIECES. SA TINGIN
KO PAG NAGSTART AKONG GUMAWA NG SARILI KONG STYLE WITHOUT ANY
REFERENCE, SUN KO P[ALANG ICOCONSIDER YUNG SARILI KONG SKILLED.

4. Lastly, what advices ad techniques you can share on aspiring artists?

MY ADVICE FOR YOUNG EMERGING ARTISTS WOULD BE JUST KEEP MAKING ART.
BECAUSE ART SKILLS, JUST LIKE ANY OTHER SKILLS NEED TO BE MAINTAINED. KASE ANG
TENDENCY PAG TUMIGIL KANG GUMAWA NG ART, MANINIBAGO KA TAS FEELING MO
HINDI MO NA ALAM MAGDRAWING AND IT WILL TAKE YOU WEEKS PARA MARECOVER
YUNG PROFICIENCY THAT YOU HAD BEFORE YOU STOPPED.
COMPETE ONLY WITH YOURSELF, STOP COMPARING YOUR ARTWORKS TO OTHERS

AND LASTLY , TRUST THE PROCESS.
