Daniel: From Analyst to Artist After Hours

By day, Daniel works in finance. By night (or more accurately, weekend), he’s fully immersed in charcoal, ink, and a growing passion for figurative drawing. After years of feeling creatively blocked, he joined our beginner drawing course to try something different—and has barely missed a class since.

“I never thought I had an artistic side,” Daniel admits. “But learning how to observe and translate what I see onto paper—it’s become incredibly rewarding.” His progression has been impressive, moving from simple line studies to full compositions with structure and depth.

Recently, he submitted his first piece to a local community exhibition—and it was selected. “It was terrifying, but I’m glad I did it. This studio gave me the tools, and more importantly, the courage.”

Daniel’s story reminds us that it’s never too late to start creating.
