hi every1. wanna ask a little opinion. i'm interested in taking diploma in illustration at the one academy. but after i got 7a in spm, my dad really wants me to take engineering. should i take illustration, which has always been my passion or engineering like my father told me to? my dad always try to talk me out my choice like talking about job prospect n stuffs. what's ur guys' opinions?

drawing has always been my passion. sometimes i even draw during classes in my secondary school days. despite being a science stream student, i had no interest in science, especially when it comes to biology n chemistry. physics is a different story though coz i love physics. i always want to be an illustrator so that's why i choose illustration, though my dad won't let me to choose it.

i heard that if you take diploma, then they will teach you the basics of drawing. Some of TOA students were weak in drawing when they started attending TOA but after learning the basics, they can draw like a pro. But then again, it depends on whether you are serious when learning the basics or not.
