Scribbles, drawings, “heck yeah it looks great” then followed with “fuck what is this” within 5 minutes, me questioning my skills, and no, no matter how good AI is, it will never give you the process of drawing and sketching. AI will never give you the satisfaction of watching someone draw some lines with their drawing pens.

    Standing on top of a (really) jiggly jelly

    This post was originally published and shared by me within my team’s channel (internal.) One thing about Automattic is, the company encourages you to write.

    First time with Uni Posca

    First time with Uni Posca

    I’ve been seeing my friends using Uni Posca and I’m intrigued. Then, I just realized they are not available here in Malaysia, at least not in retail-wise.

    Drawing Practice: Curiosity

    Drawing Practice: Curiosity

    I’m experimenting with dark background and rust. You might know the robot from Peachtober’s “Robot”. I found myself liking this fella. Anyway!

    Drawing Practice: Weekly Grocery Shopping

    Drawing Practice: Weekly Grocery Shopping
