• Inktober Day 16: Compass

    I always use flash/torchlight/flashlight whenever I take my drawings for clearer image but it seems like the black marker reflecting the light. Oh well.

  • Inktober Day 15: Helmet

    I’m currently in a vacation (staycation) and we are literally in the middle of Malacca Strait and, well, the data connection is not super great.

    Anyway! No Little Cat but still with little critters (part of the story, I guess?)

    I really enjoy drawing the little mouse on the tub.

  • Inktober Day 14: Tick

    I don’t know if I should be proud or crying about this drawing.

    The prompt is “Tick” and immediately I thought of clock tower (tick-tock.) Now, I never seen a clock tower in my life. Well, maybe I had, but never the ones you see in picture books — the ones you see on European-style rural village. Heck, I never been to Europe either.

    Then, somehow I had this “genius” idea of “trying perspective drawing,” conveniently forgetting the fact that I’m struggling with it. I mean, I’m not even an art student or formally study art and architecture — and doing it feels like foreseeing me bundled up and crying the corner.

    Midway drawing, I almost cried (“THE CLOCK FACE IS WRONG!”) — but I would be lying if I’m saying I’m not proud of this drawing.

    I’m proud of it. I’m hella proud of it. I pushed myself by starting a, “hey, what if…” and decided to move forward.

    Here’s for more learning and improvements on perspective drawing!

  • Inktober Day 13: Roof

    I’m frustrated. I found myself having difficulties drawing Little Cat’s facial feature and expression. I’m not satisfied with this drawing, and I feel I can improve more on this (filing this under Redraw Series after Inktober.)

    My favorite part on this drawing is the frog, though.

  • Inktober Day 12: Stuck

    The tree fairy is inspired from Walt Disney ‘Silly Symphony: Flowers and Trees’ (1932)

  • Next project: Intermediate Theme Developer

    I want to develop themes that sing praises for the 2000s. I always feel we could have a bit more 2000s-era whimsy.

Nindya. Kapkap. she/her. Indonesian in Malaysia. Millennial. Lo-fi. Post-Rock. Gregorian. Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Murder mystery genre. “Love is Love“.
