My artwork shows a person wearing sunglasses and a hoodie, drawn in pencil on denim fabric. I used jeans material as the background to make my work look creative and unique. The mix of pencil drawing and denim shows the connection between fashion, identity, and confidence.
I chose to draw this figure because it represents me and how I see myself. The pose and sunglasses show strength and self-belief. The denim background adds a sense of toughness and real-life texture, showing that I can stay strong even when life is difficult.
This artwork is called “ The hero within” because it reminds me that I can rely on myself. I have learned to face challenges, believe in my dreams, and keep moving forward. Being my own hero means I don’t wait for others to save me — I create my own path and find power in who I am.
