Pre-Journey Story

Well, now think back, everything started from I auditing a drawing class at Caltech in 2011. With little background in drawing, one day during class I asked the course instructor Jim for some tips about how to draw, and he said to me, "Just draw whatever you like, you will be fine. It's too late for you to learn to draw anyway". While I was walking back home that night, I asked myself "is it really too late to do what I love? I wanna see how far I can go from here." A few days later, I enrolled in my first drawing class at The Art Center at Night.

So, my journey began.

(Anyway, here is the painting I finished at the end of the audited drawing class at Caltech. My first painting, sort of.)
