Now, let me explain it like this. Growing up, I loved drawing. But the reason I loved drawing so much was because my sister was an amazing artist. My sister is five years older than me. And I can remember being nine years old, watching her as a 14-year-old, she was drawing portraits of people. And I remember seeing her draw this portrait of her best friend.

And it was absolutely amazing, so I wanted to replicate the drawing. So I started copying what she did. I started trying to draw the lines in the same way that she had drawn them.
