This is actually the first caricature that I've drawn and the first time I've drawn digitally.
Somehow I struggled so much since I don't have any drawing tablet. Long live Trackpad!
*my cousin always shakes his head everytime he sees me working with Adobe Products*
He said, "I've never known anyone who's so expert using trackpad than mouse or tablet..."
I'm feeling happy somehow... Awkward at the same time? Haha!
Next is TOP from Big Bang! Go Big Bang Go! Pens
This is a hatch drawing using all black technical pens that I had (that are already broken or else, and I still keep them). I really love hatch drawing. Messy. Tension. Passion. There's an extensive sensation whenever you mark a line. Line by line. The thickness. Deepness. Can you feel it?
Talking about Big Bang. I was am still a Big Bang fan, but not really a huge one.
See... I have this tendency to adore all musician(s), actor(s), and artist(s) related during their debut time. They were not really famous, yet I felt there are something there. There's something big will happen to them. And, boom! They are famous in an instant! Instant noodle! Perhaps I have an instinct to know who's going to stay long enough in this artistic industry... Haha! *Self-pleasing*
Move on... After the fame has covered the entire world, I will find other underground artists. And the adoration level to the pretty infamous icons is still there or decreasing a little bit. It depends, really. When the marketing gets really involved, my heart just fractures slowly. Slowly, it is.
Well,well. Why I'm talking about this tendency. Actually, this drawing was intended for a friend who really adores TOP. Her working desk was full with TOP Pictures. And, she just infected us with TOP Virus by sticking the pictures everywhere! My little red book. My desk. My computer. Infectious! Miss her madness!
Cartoon drawing of Spongebob Squarepants and a friend. Mixed Media
She's really a huge fan of Spongebob! Oops! I just realized we are at the age of a quarter century. Yeah, and we're still in love with cartoons. Best people ever!
Drawing cartoon was pretty fun with the color and that mad funny eyes. Expression, of course! When drawing one, you'll learn a lot about expression, movement, how to make an attitude. Getting mad, happy, sad. Feeling stupid. It was pretty much learning how to make expressions using your face. Yea, I look funny and stupid making a lot of looks and doing some sounds in front of mirror. My mom just looked at me. Shook her head. I was pretty much learning how to act! Haha! That what makes a cartoon is so interesting. And the hilarious nonsense!
Next! Woman in Blue with Flowers. Markers
I really want to know how it feels to use marker as a media. The color is amazing! Sketching with markers is seeing a world in a vibrant brand new vision. As a black and white avid, I was, colors are a stepping stone to see a new horizon. See it?
Last one, Daily. Watercolor, ink, pen.
It's a drawing of middle-aged man and his colleague working in a coffee shop (
kopitiam). You'll find this scenery everywhere, everyday in Southeast Asia, particularly Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia. Don't you think they are really great? To work in a small space with a lot of plates and glasses in front of them. I'm sure I'll break some. There's fellowship between one person and others. Not breaking any glassware when the movement is limited due to compact area. Where the steam is there. And the flow is absolutely solid.
Good flow, good drink. I missed that one kopitiam where I always chatted with the nice uncle and auntie there.
