Ahmed, a young colorist from Pakistan, was one such student. "Waqas's masterclass was a game-changer for me," he said. "I was struggling to find my footing as a freelancer, but Waqas's guidance and support helped me to grow my business and work on projects I never thought possible."

As Waqas's skills improved, he realized that he wanted to work on a freelance basis, giving him the creative freedom to choose projects that truly excited him. He took the leap, setting up his own business and creating a stunning portfolio that showcased his expertise. Word of his exceptional work spread quickly, and soon he was in high demand.
