One of my greatest achievements was traveling the world, making a living drawing. I'm proud of myself for being a risk taker for the things I want and this showed me to continue having goals to chase. Its a way for me to focus on one thing but also I love drawing people the most, getting to draw and have a conversation with someone has always been rewarding.
