We are all born artists. As soon as we have enough strength to hold a pencil, we start to draw and paint on the walls, furniture and floor of our houses.   Normally, this behavior derives in the screams of our parents and later we learn that it is better to express our creativity on a sheet of paper.

Whenever you ask me for specific drawings, I write them down and file them for future tutorials. I have always been fascinated by the sea. I have visited it, I have sailed through it, I have painted it, drawn ... The sea calls me, and boats are one of my favorite themes to draw.
