I grew up in a town of Pakistan where people were uneducated and had no taste & knowlege for art. Living in such society, art was something I never heard of. In my childhood I felt attraction towards colour pencil drawings. To a student, colour pencils were only available when he had to attempt a drawing exam. I won a drawing competition, held in my school, when I was 13. Once on T.V. I saw an artist with his drawings and I was really impressed by his work. Afterwards my brother took me to an artist, in a city close to our town, who had unbelievable work in colour pencils, especially in mix dust charcoal. There I felt that it was the very way I should really work on.

Soon after that I started spending my time, day over day, with colour pencils and my art stuff. One of my friends, who was also interested in art, took me to his master who was the best man in this field I ever met. He was committed to his work and was affectionate to his disciples. As far as I remember, he kept nothing from me and, sincerely, led me to the place where I am.

 I mostly draw portraits and specially old faces in charcoal and colour pencil . But through out my art career I loved colour pencil as I can work more deeply, and can give a life-like look to my drawings. I visited a website, ukcps, where I met Maria Rostock who appreciated my work and made me join ukcps. Despite having  limited resources and innsufficient art materials, I have been doing my level best. I crave your critical analysis and your comments about my work. Thanks in anticipation.
