"When I do portraits, I get the feeling that I am reading a book about a life"-Jahir Uddin Zoomon
How did you get started ?
I started my digital painting in later 2002 when I was working for a animation studio named Green Field Toons. During that time I did lots of animation background via digital and manual painting medium for the production of Meena, Bugabuga and Night of the Pumpkin. In general, I was a Graphic designer and painting was just a hobby to me. I tried lots of sketches, rendering works , illustrations, and such a kind of graphic related software like illustrator and Photoshop. There were some days I tried maya and 3d related software but at last I stopped 3d. After that I engaged myself in advertising carrier and involved myself in art direction, advertising design, Corporate Brand identities etc .
What interested you to do portraits ?
From the Lalon sangeet "Manush dhoro manush vojo shon bolire Pagol mon, Manusher vetore manush koriteche birajon," I got all my inspiration and the spirit to do portraits. To me portraits are very interesting. Every person has their own personality, expressions, smiles, stories on their face. When I do portraits I get the feeling that I am reading a book about life.
How long does it usually take to make each portrait?
Most digital paintings takes 2-3 hours, but it depends on how much details you draw.
Any advice for the artists who are trying to pursue this career?
I would love to tell everyone that painting is not a profession, it is passion. If you have the passion start from now...
