About The Expert Christy Peraja spent four years in the banking, finance, and customer service industry. This was the career that she had to pursue based on her background studies. She learned more than what she expected but always felt that it was not enough. She wanted to become an artist and she thought she could never become one. When Christy Peraja was in junior high, she drew an artwork for the school’s lobby as requested by one of the teachers. The Visual Arts Club Adviser, who later on became her mentor, saw her work and recruited her. He exposed her to many art contests and she received many awards just within those two years. She eventually became the club’s president and graduated with pride at having that title. For almost twenty years she hid her artworks and secretly but persistently trained herself in drawing, painting and writing. Realizing how much she has improved her skills gave her the courage to achieve her lifetime wish. Despite disapproval and criticism, she continued practicing. She is highly skilled at different works of art and manga illustration is her utmost favorite since she is also a big fan of anime and manga. She never stopped dreaming of becoming a real manga artist and she is fulfilling that dream now and has always believed that it was never too late. One piece of advice from Christy Peraja, “Don’t ever be afraid to chase your dreams because if you truly enjoy it, your dreams will be the one chasing you in the end. And you can never runaway from what your heart truly wants. Practice a lot and do not lose the passion of learning something new that would be helpful in improving your skills.” HowExpert publishes quick 'how to' guides on all topics from A to Z by everyday experts.
