Daniel Merac is a self-taught artist and photographer who adores drawing birds. He started his artistic journey back in 2015 when he first joined the Inktober challenge, and since then he has drawn around 100 bird species.
“Drawing is a natural activity that is a part of everyone’s lives,
whether we are the ones who create visual pieces or the ones who contemplate
them, it’s something we’re exposed to since our childhood, and therefore anyone
can do it to some degree,” artist shared. “I’ve picked these winged subjects
because I’ve been drawing them for the past 3 years, and it’s been something
truly therapeutical and enlightening.”
He now has a brand called Ayamormio
