Braving the World

Artwork by Mohamed Irwan

Jumping from one profession to another, was a risky move. The risk gets bigger if you have a family to support, or you are already 40. But that’s the case for me.

I am in a family of 6; me, my wife, and 4 beautiful kids, from 10 to 1. And already 40! To simply put this into perspective, was an architect/ small-time contractor. Got sick few years back, that force me to change career. Tried design and animation, but going nowhere.

So I decided to start painting digitally.

Art was my passion since I was a kid. Back then, I paint manually. Teaching myself digital painting was hard, and somehow I felt wonderful about it. It makes me happy. And makes my family happy too, since i am always at home. (flexible working hours). So, I am hoping to get to know wonderful, talented painters out there, makes new friends, and hopefully be recognized by peoples for my art.

Drawing Academy is a great place to learn art and to built a solid foundation.

I want to win this course to refine my skills as well as get to know and make friends with good artists.
