"I've always held a deep curiosity about the potential of emerging tech platforms for artistic expression. Drawing from my background in multimedia design, I began to explore basic tablet drawing, gradually growing more comfortable with its integration into some of my art projects. Around the years 2012-2013, I initiated a series of digital sketches and painting commissions centered in Melaka City, Malaysia. This led me to further experiment with cut-outs and digital portraits. Given the advent of AI and the plethora of digital media tools available today, I firmly believe that artists now have a wealth of opportunities to explore. Moreover, as the world increasingly gravitates towards the realms of artificial intelligence and virtual reality, it's apparent that the majority of people will seek creative outlets and productions in these innovative domains.

Digital Illustration Teaching Background
"I've been involved in teaching digital illustration at various universities since 2016, and this engagement continues to this day. I'd like to showcase some digital illustration examples created by my students across different levels of diploma and bachelor's programs in art and design, specifically in fields such as visual communication, graphic design, and multimedia design. This subject is typically offered for a single short semester, spanning 12 weeks of intensive teaching.
Throughout my courses, I cover a wide array of critical topics, including mastering the use of a digital pen, achieving precise line drawing, gesture drawing, creating cut-outs, mastering both basic and advanced shading techniques, textures illustration, coloring, design custom brushes, imaginative design, and guiding students in the development of their own unique illustration styles.
Additionally, I've conducted numerous voluntary classes for students from various other programs, and university staff members, and have even ventured into hosting online workshops.
