My Journey really started when, I was a young kid, drawing cars from magazines, tracing them on paper, then I copied animated characters from TVs trying to draw them from memory, it was all 2D, then as time went by 3D, then years passed, after high school I took a year off, that is when I started, writing ever since I never stopped or slowed down.
I acquired my knowledge or aspects through self development.
