Filipino Warrior

I am an accountant and have long been in private industry. Now that I am approaching my retirement years (I haven’t retired from business yet although I am already 69 years old), I have always wanted to take up the hobby of sketching and painting.

Since I was little, I used to make my own comic books, papering old notebooks (not the digital ones) with my own illustrations and stories that I made up. My father used to be amazed at the drawings my kid brother and I used to put on the side of his desk with our pencils but he didn’t scold us for messing up his furniture because he was also into art. Comic books especially Classics Illustrated and DC comics (Marvel came later) inspired us a lot to dabble into art. Joe Kubert was a favorite and so was Russ Manning. In our own culture, we also followed Filipino artists like Francisco Coching and Nestor Redondo.

As I Am: self-portrait from life

I’ve been on this earth for 18 years and been drawing and painting for probably 90% of those. I’m thankful I begin early in life, I believe I had an innate affinity for art which grew into an obsession and desire for mastery that hasn’t left me.

Being able to make art is like having a superpower, one that lets you create illusions of reality using merely a pencil or a loaded brush.

When portrait drawing, it’s vital to capture the subject’s unique subtleties and proportions since the amalgamation of these create a likeness. I’m always missing the mark on these. My submission, for example, has errors like one eye being too high and my forehead being too short.

These days I’m keen to develop my life drawing skills since I understand its importance, giving the artist a true understanding of the subject’s 3D form, as appose to a photo which is 2D and only reveals what the photographer wants. In addition, I want to understand the nuances of perspective, anatomy and figure drawing.

I am a man with great appetite for learning and creating new artistic works.

The art of my life is in a traditional style.

My challenge in art is to create a new style in my traditional arts. Creating a new language for the transfer of old traditional concepts.
