Hello, art lovers and creative souls! My name is Kanxey, a passionate artist hailing from the beautiful land of Nepal but currently residing in Israel. Today, I am brimming with excitement to share an incredible artistic journey that recently added vibrant hues to my creative palette.
As someone who has always been enamored with the world of colors, design, and creativity, I believe in continuously honing my craft. So, when I came across the online course “Art of Portrait Caricature” on the Edtraa e-learning platform, I knew I had found something special. What made this even more extraordinary was the mentor—none other than Mr. Abin Shrestha, Nepal’s number one cartoonist and a household name for his captivating caricatures in the Kantipur newspaper.
Unlike many online courses, this wasn’t just a casual quiz—it was a timed test that challenged my knowledge and understanding of caricature art. With only one attempt allowed, it was thrilling and nerve-wracking at the same time! I’m proud to say that I scored 23 out of 25
A Dream Come True
For years, I have admired Abin dai’s work. His ability to blend humor, creativity, and sharp social commentary into his art has always left me inspired. Little did I know that one day I’d have the chance to learn directly from him, albeit virtually.
The course slogan, “From 1% to the next 1%,” beautifully encapsulates the essence of personal growth and improvement. This tagline resonated deeply with me as an artist striving to refine my craft one brushstroke at a time.
A Virtual Yet Real Experience
Despite being an online course, “Art of Portrait Caricature” felt surprisingly intimate and interactive. Abin dai’s teaching style was nothing short of magical—he has this incredible knack for breaking down complex techniques into easy-to-follow steps while making the learning process both enjoyable and enlightening. It felt as though he was right there beside me, guiding my hands as I worked on each detail.
One aspect that truly stood out was the assessment test at the end of the course. Unlike many online courses, this wasn’t just a casual quiz—it was a timed test that challenged my knowledge and understanding of caricature art. With only one attempt allowed, it was thrilling and nerve-wracking at the same time! I’m proud to say that I scored 23 out of 25, a testament to how much I learned during this journey.
Beyond Expectations
The course exceeded my expectations in every way. From the depth of the lessons to the engaging format, every detail was thoughtfully crafted to help students truly grasp the art of portrait caricature. I particularly loved how the course emphasized both technical skills and creative freedom, encouraging us to find our unique artistic voice.
Gratitude and Future Aspirations
I am deeply grateful to the Edtraa team for making such an incredible learning opportunity accessible to art enthusiasts like me, regardless of geographical boundaries. Technology truly has the power to transform dreams into reality, and this course is a shining example of that.
If Edtraa adds more art-related courses to its platform, I’ll be among the first to enroll. This experience has not only enriched my skills but also reignited my passion for art.
To all fellow art lovers out there, I highly recommend exploring courses that push your creative boundaries and inspire you to grow. Who knows? You might just find your own version of a dream mentor, as I did with Abin Shrestha.
Here’s to more colors, more designs, and endless creativity!
