For now, all I can say is that I love to draw. I want to make a career out of it and bring smiles to others faces. I am someone who loves to help others or make a difference. At first, I didn't think that was possible with drawing but from what people tell me, it makes them happy to see a portrait of a loved one etc. I hope I can get somewhere with drawing because I love it and I love making people happy! Singing is another thing I love and like drawing, I want to portray “me” and give a new and interesting feeling to the listener/ visual that they will enjoy.
