He emphasized his persistence, saying, "I tried 45 times and made mistakes before learning this art. But my determination helped me master it." Yabani also noted the high costs of this art, explaining that he orders pencils from abroad for his work.
He highlighted the physical difficulties of the craft, saying it can cause joint problems. "I need to work at least five hours a day. During work, my head is bent, and I cannot engage with anything, not even my phone. My eyes have started to be affected.
To avoid mistakes and prevent the pencil tip from breaking, sometimes you even have to hold your breath. One tiny error can ruin the whole piece. The smallest work can take 20 hours, which I divide over four days," he added.
