How long does it usually take you to complete one of your artworks?
Ivaan (with a grin): It doesn’t take long at all—just about 30 minutes. I believe in fast work!
What’s your favourite type of art?
Oh, that’s easy! I love colouring with sketch pens. They let me add colours exactly the way I want, making everything look so neat and beautiful.
How does your school support your love for art?
My teachers are always encouraging me. They praise my drawings, and my classmates are super excited when my artwork gets featured in the Apeejay Newsroom. It makes me really happy!
What do you enjoy doing apart from drawing?
Playing cricket! I’m a bowler, and Kapil Dev is my favourite cricketer.
What’s your next drawing going to be?
Hmm… I haven’t thought of it yet!
But what do you love drawing the most?
I love drawing houses with beautiful scenery around. It’s my favourite thing to create!
