Ahmad is a young, self-taught digital illustrator from Jambi, a big city in the middle of Sumatra Island in Indonesia. Ahmad loves to draw girls who wear hijab.
I like drawing Hijab Girls. They are beautiful, and most of my subjects are my friends, my sister or my partner. I'm glad to see them happy and love to present them in this uplifting and positive way.
My artistic style is inspired by vector, WPAP and low poly techniques. I specialise in anomali pop art, a digital design style that uses an existing image as a starting point. This style of artwork reflects modern, everyday, popular culture in an often humorous and/or ironic way. I use photos (with permission) as the basis for my digital drawings. I teach myself design techniques by watching YouTube tutorials, and I get inspiration from my design friends, the internet and social media. I take orders and sometimes my friends ask me to work on their photos. I often make special drawings for birthday presents. I’m currently freelancing but really want to become a professional designer. In the future, I would also like to mentor other young designers.
As a young artist, I love that I have so much time and energy to experiment with my designing. I don't see being young as an obstacle. I have a laptop and the internet – that’s enough for me.
