• Inktober 2019: Day 21

    If I’m not too lazy (heh ?) I usually go to a minimarket/convenience store nearby my place to buy lunch — onigiri (?), sandwiches, omurice (fried rice with ketchup, topped with omelette), or all of the above.

    Whenever I’m there, the place usually packed with folks from nearby office buildings — and they are there to buy lunch too or snacks or some stationeries.

    I guess I have this soft spot about convenience store. I love how they provide conveniences, some kind of a la carte needs for folks in a hurry, or a place for tourists to stop by and buy some necessities (during my trip to HK, my very first question was, “where’s the nearest convenience store?” ?)

  • Inktober 2019: Day 20

    I found myself liking and enjoying this kind of drawing ? Drawing some kind of passing moments (?) on daily life. It’s a good break during my ?dramatic? approach in drawing.

    It has been raining quite often here in KL, especially during the evening. And we have been having many construction works in this city. Saw this moment when we went home from dinner, so I decided to draw it.

  • Inktober 2019: Day 19

    I decided to brave myself doing, I’m not so sure the term, mood drawing? No, not “mood”… More like drawing daily situations or daily encounters — this time, standing in front of a minimarket.

    I learned how to draw straight lines and understanding depth and details of a minimarket. Most of the memories come from my trip to Hong Kong, where I see lots and lots of boxes and stuffs in front of stores, waiting to be picked up by the staffs.

  • Inktober 2019: Day 18

    A really simple Inktober today; from an encounter I had years ago.

    Kuala Lumpur is a metropolitan city — it’s the capital city of Malaysia, anyway; but within this urban jungle, you can find wild monkeys ?

    Nearby my old apartment building, there was this building — used to be an embassy — and it housed this huge huge huge private garden with impressive trees and greeneries. The whole building and garden were surrounded with white tall imposing gates and walls.

    But once in a while, some little fellas popped out with some of their younglings.

  • Saw this site mentioned the other day on Slack: neocities.org.

    Scroll down and you will see “Featured Sites”. Never knew it brings back early 2000s, and it makes me so, so happy.
