Sketching A Dream: How Japan Inspires My Artistic Journey

✨ Do you want to improve your IELTS writing?

This
quote deeply resonates with my soul. I was exposed to the world of
art
when my uncle showed me anime at the age of seven. I vividly remember the very first time I watched anime, it was “Hunter X Hunter”. When I saw it, it felt as if my little brain just had an epiphany; the mesmerizing
art
, compelling storyline, and fluidity of animation genuinely left me star-struck. From that moment on,

day and night. Soon, her hands got used to the motion and realized that drawing had become second nature to her. That overly determined kid was me. In the back of my mind, I’ve always wanted to go to Japan to pay tribute to the country that had inspired me. I had fallen in love with their
art
and their culture. I know that I can see and feel

While

this
dream of mine is in front of my eyes; it feels so surreal. I’m deeply grateful to SFL for the opportunity that they have given me. Regardless of the outcome, I will never cease to continue making
art
