While growing up, I had to study myself to the extent that I tried as much as possible to figure out what I was good at. It wasn’t something easy, but I gradually tested different things to find out which I could do best.
I have got my hands on repairs, but they just didn’t work for me; my brother loved them so much. I thought it was something I could gamble and game on with. But it was a no for me.
Another aspect I excel in is drawing and artwork. While in elementary school, I had fine art as one of my favorite topics, though it wasn’t something we had often, so when I got home, I tried drawing different things. Having a rough beginning opened me to improvement.
While I was about to pass out in elementary school, I was picked among the best artists to represent my class, and I delivered well. We were asked to draw the face of the state governor from a portrait in our headmaster's office.
Advancing on to secondary, when we were to pick a vocational course of our choice, I picked art. I was so interested in it, but in the long run, our art master couldn't make himself available. I was only introduced to the basics of it. I tried making more artworks on my own. I made comic books and sold them to my classmates.
After some time, when adulthood struck, I began to stay away from art as I realized it couldn’t solve many of my financial problems, and I needed to improve on it.
With that, I still have the potential to learn and master arts quickly, just that I am not a professional at it. I believe that if I could get some mentorship, it would actually bring the best out of me.
### Will I be able to cope and master art training within a month?
To be honest, with my passion and love for artistry, I can say I will be willing to dedicate my time and effort towards learning and practicing the skills, and since I already have a background knowledge about it, it will surely be much easier to grasp.
Another important thing that could hinder my learning is the tools and resources to be used, but once all of these are provided, learning becomes much easier.
I have received several compliments from people telling me how impressed they were with my artwork. And many have also tried to encourage me to do better or improve my skills.
While I was in my service year, I also tried to keep up with training how to sculpt, but after some weeks the trainer was out of service and I couldn't cope with learning it anymore.
