Hi, I'm Haifa. I've been drawing for as long as I can remember, mostly teaching myself along the way. Anime and manga have always been my biggest love—there's something about that style that just clicks with me. Over time, I found that I wasn't just good at copying characters; I had a real feel for telling stories through pictures. That led me to storyboarding, then to 2D animation. Frame by frame, I taught myself how to make my drawings move, smile, argue, and feel alive. It took hours and hours of trial and error, but watching my characters come to life made every late night worth it. I've never been to art school. Everything I know came from pure curiosity, a ton of practice, and feedback from other artists who were kind enough to share their thoughts. I studied anatomy, color, and composition on my own, not because I had to, but because I genuinely wanted to get better. Art became my way of processing feelings, building little worlds to escape into, and losing track of time with a pencil in my hand. It's not just a hobby for me—it's how I speak when words aren't enough.
