Hi, My name is Carlos and I’m originally from Chile. I moved to Ireland in 2009 and only discovered that I love drawing and painting few years ago. Working on my sketchbooks helped me to get over depression and I’m so thankful for it. I know there is a lot to improve yet, but when I look back to my first drawings I can see a huge difference.

I want to encourage you all to have and work in a sketchbook, it’s so relaxing and satisfying. If you think you can’t, believe me that is not true, I used to think the same, and as you can see, with a lot of flaws, I do draw. I want to thank the organisers for the opportunity and wish them all the success on this project. Hope you all enjoy my sketchbook.
