Hi all!

Ever since I was a kid, I used drawing and painting as my way to express myself, never took it seriously, and reduce it as a hobby. Nevertheless, art was with me in my career choice, and helped me to become an architect. I consider myself a restless soul, passionate, creative, intuitive and practical. So now, I think it is time to give myself the chance to explore a career as an illustrator or concept artist. It motivates me to learn from others, and know I am not alone in this leap of faith. :wink:

See you along the way!

Welcome to the forums from another architect! I probably would have gone straight into art but I didn't see it as a viable career choice when I was in school.

looking forward to seeing your work!
