readiness

Hi there

I was thinking the other day of readiness; it's always good for self-confidence to be ready to do something important, it's great to really know that you have what it takes
On the other hand, there are people who never feel ready to do anything of importance; they always show signs of procrastination and they end up being a hopeless case, which really hurts their self-confidence

I think it's extremely necessary to know when you're ready to get things done in order to know yourself, otherwise you'll never know what you can do in your life, and that's the farthest thing from knowing your potential

Having faith in oneself is a way of exploring one's potential, imagine how unfortunate it is for someone to be told by everyone that he is capable of doing great things, but he never tried because he never felt ready

So, procrastination is the cloud that blinds someone from seeing his own heaven

introduction

Hi there

This is my first post and I can't think of anything better to make of it than an introduction.
My name is Wa'el and I'm from Saudi Arabia. I enjoy many hobbies; drawing, reading, writing, music, video games, anime and movies. I have a Bachelor's degree in English literature and I'm passionate about reading literary books from different cultures, but my real passion is in drawing and that's probably gonna be my main focus here.

I've been influenced by many artists and I like to explore my potential, that's why I have a variety of styles; I draw portraits, fantasy and cute, but I rarely draw anything abstract. I draw using computer programs, such as Adobe Photoshop and Open Canvas, with a pen tablet from Wacom; digital art/illustration.

I like comic strips and web comics...the whole comic family, and I used many elements from my life as an inspiration to create my own comic strip. The result was the boy and penguin; the boy represents my daily experiences and thoughts, while the penguin represents childhood and innocence, and he can be clever.

Here's one of my latest works for the boy & penguin

I hope you enjoy it
Good luck
