This drawing is that kind of drawing that I thought I’m going to hate, but I found myself interested on it. I think it’s because of the tree trunk texture (the tree rings.) This is that type of drawing that made you go, “WHY DID I CHOOSE THIS PERSPECTIVE,” and you ended up with, “huh.…

I just finished an evening meeting and my brain is half-fried so I decided to use minimalistic approach — and I miss watching fireworks. I did this drawing while listening to Ryuichi Sakamoto’s “Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence.” Somehow the mood fits.

I’m learning using a bigger-sized brush pen and I really love it! I learned about shadows and creating contrasts — and it’s quite a challenge to have a high-contrast drawings (usually reserved for dramatic effects) with cute models (THE FROOOOOGGGG) Landscape-wise, I also learned about swamp and marsh area.

Being Lord Wolfsbane’s attendant for nearly half millennia makes Bartholomew understands and always ready of his Lord’s whims and inquiries. Recently, Lord Wolfsbane is learning this thing called “healthy lifestyle and take care of what you eat and drink” and Bartholomew decided to not comment anything on it.

… and now I want pancakes and a cup of coffee.

I’m taking the meaning of “fuzzy” as “abstract” or “unclear”. In Ghibli “Sen to Chihiro” (Spirited Away), the character No-Face (Kaonashi) is neither good or bad. I even feel Kaonashi is childlike. Chihiro shows kindness to Kaonashi, which makes Kaonashi following Chihiro with hope Kaonashi can make Chihiro happy. Kaonashi received excessive attentions and splurged…

This drawing is heavily referenced from Disney Pixar’s “Wall.E”. “Wall.E” is one of my favorite movies, and I really like how the original story is actually a love story.
