My drawing for the Neoxian city talent hunt.

I chose the giraffe because it reminds me of patience and perspective the way it stretches his neck above the noise just to see further than the rest. This drawing took me hours of tiny strokes each line like a heartbeat slowly building into something alive. For me art is not only about making things look real but about capturing the quiet lessons life teaches us when no one is watching.
Every shadow on this giraffe’s face felt like a conversation about not giving up and standing graciously tall even when the journey feels long.

This piece is more than ink on paper it is a reflection of my own story of waiting, enduring and reaching higher goals no matter how heavy the process gets.
With every progress stage I wanted to show that beauty is not found in rushing but in taking it one step at a time until the picture finally breathes on its own.

Here’s a video of me capturing the moment: https://youtube.com/shorts/OBpcDwm38_Y?si=yYI_aTJ1NqO8uHT6
