My name is DRISS MAAROUFI and I am 22 years old from AGADIR (MOROCCO) I have been drawing since i was a child ,and have been working for over three years with portraits and more particularly with pencil portraits. I am self taught but I am able to improve my talent by drawing vigorously with these wonderful portraits. Drawing for me is a necéssity not only a passion and my indepth research and constant study for perfection has brought me to professional level. In my opinion: If one does not realize his own potential then this can be one of the most unfortunate and sad things that can happen. I think that drawing and art in general is the noblest way to express oneself because it crosses all the borders.
