This was an individual initiative I undertook to explore the rendering of a personality through the practice of drawing. Over the course of two years, I aimed to capture the essence of people whose talents and aspirations I greatly admire. Through pencil and paper, I discovered a novel way to connect, understand and empathize with people that previous conversations and personal encounters were unable to achieve. In the process, I not only developed my drawing skills, but also the ability to illustrate the perception of a person through the eyes of an artist.
