So it was in the fifth year when I got into computer graphics, 3D graphics. Actually, I originally liked to draw. The drawing was my hobby. How did you turn to design from programming? It’s surprising because usually, programmers aren’t creative people, they are more of a mathematical mindset and, therefore, they do not know how to draw. I initially thought to do programming for a living, but […]
