I didn't really know how to do anything else." he said with a definite nod. He pretty much failed at everything else. "Just one of those hobbies where you can get away from everything and be yourself, you know? I was lucky enough to start learning, really learning about it at a young age."

But now he was just relieved to draw what he wanted and to not have a teacher breathing down his neck. "Drawing portraits...there really is no trick or specific way to go about it. Everyone's technique is different, and everyone learns at a different pace, but what really shows the difference between a good portrait and a sloppy one, is patience. Materials too I guess, but one should really have patience and passion. Those two can make you go a long way."

"I think your portraits look nice," Selena smiled. "How were you discovered? Because most people say that it doesn't matter if you have a talent in art if you're not famous," Selena said sheepishly. "Do you have any suggestions for me, if I were to pursue this career?" Selena asked.
