Youngest TedGlobal Fellow will give live demo of his art work process for upcoming animated film

It isn't surprising that Apple has roped in talented musician Usman Riaz to present a live demo of his art works and share with audiences -- not only do his fingers work magic on a guitar and piano, but he also has mad drawing skills.

The youngest TedGlobal Fellow – from Karachi -- will be giving a live demo of his art work process for upcoming animated film The Glassworker, along with other works using the iPad Pro, Apple Pencil, and ‪Paper‬ by FiftyThree‬.

Usman Riaz named as the youngest ever TED senior fellow
