    Colorful history

    I was lurking on my colleagues’ blog when I noticed Brezo’s post: The Met: Chroma (I highly recommend you to read it!) when she visited The MET’s Chroma exhibition. Ancient Greek and Roman sculpture was once colorful, vibrantly painted and richly adorned with detailed ornamentation. Chroma: Ancient Sculpture in Color reveals the colorful backstory of polychromy—meaning “many…

    Peachtober 2022

    The best part of a blog? You can display more than 10 pictures in one post. While I’m happy with the results, I need to improve in finding my style and consistency. Here’s for more learning!

    Peachtober Day 31: Sleepy

    And it’s a wrap! There were some ups and downs, and Peachtober have some of the most challenging prompts. I’m going to make a habit out of drawing, so you will still see more of me in November ?

    Peachtober Day 30: Pet

    When I just joined Automattic, I saw someone posted on Slack: “Hey team, I’m so sorry I will be slightly late. My cat is sleeping on my laptop and I can’t see the keyboard.” It made such an impression on me, hence this drawing ? Also, I always wanted to draw annoying things (hence the…

    Peachtober Day 29: Whale

    This drawing is a nod to last year’s Inktober “Knot”. I always love the idea of seafarer and skyfarer (ha!) I enjoy drawing the stars and the twinkles.

  • Peachtober Day 28: Plant

    Peachtober Day 28: Plant

    I was so tired today and I didn’t have any ideas of what to draw and my brain is too sleepy to think a story, hence a furry void sheltering under a monstera plant.

  • Peachtober Day 27: Sea

    Peachtober Day 27: Sea

    I want to create a parallel with yesterday’s drawing (“Land”) and while I feel I can do better on this (especially on the ship area,) I’m pretty happy with the result. I was slightly concerned with the cat’s color as it can be super out of place, but it ends up giving a really nice…

  • Peachtober Day 26: Land

    Peachtober Day 26: Land

    I tried to be detailed, but then I decided to just stop. I think that’s the hardest part, yeah? Knowing when to stop. I really like the light feeling on this and this drawing gives a nice contrast from yesterday’s drama (“Robot”)

  • Peachtober Day 25: Robot

    Peachtober Day 25: Robot

    I want to draw robot in an organic way; so instead of using super rigid lines, I want to draw a robot with the air of “what is that?” approach. I use minimal lines to express the robot-part, but minimum enough for folks to see and wonder, “WTH is that?” You might notice the background…
