My name is Sung, I’m 20 years old and live in Estonia, although I’m half-Korean.
I started drawing when I was a child (about six years old) by copying characters from Japanese anime shows and manga. The characters looked very basic but they had a certain appeal. My family loved my drawings (my mom painted as a hobby, my sister has a bachelors degree in jewellery art), but for some reason, I quit art and drawing completely for over ten years.

I am a full-time caregiver for my old father and a sister for about two years now.
I have always been interested in drawing and painting since I started school at the age of 7. My drawings were often selected by my teachers for display in the classroom and there was once I was asked to draw a picture for our school exhibition.

Unfortunately, my experiences were discouraging. After dropping out from the third part-time courses that I had signed up, I gave up all hopes of ever been able to draw and paint. …

I am a retired academician.
I lost my husband almost two years ago and took up art, mostly watercolours to fill up my time. It has now become something I long to be doing all the time. This was a complete turnover for me for all my life I worked in science and maths. Art was the farthest thing from my mind. But entering this arena has been an eye opener, I realise how much more observant and careful I have become!
I miss it when travelling and compensate by looking at others’ art on internet, specially Pinterest. …
