Category: Sketches
Scribbles, drawings, “heck yeah it looks great” then followed with “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.

Inktober Day 2: Suit
I want to draw Adrien Brody but it seems like the whole universe going, “okay, LOL, no. Here’s a super weird version of Timotheé Chalamet instead” I’m now conflicted whether I should follow Inktober’s prompt or draw whatever I have in my mind that day. Both are fun and have its own advantages. I think…

Inktober Day 1: Crystal
Okay, I have talked about this multiple times (and personally violated what I’ve been saying MULTIPLE TIMES): I want to loosen myself during this year’s Inktober. I found myself a control freak. I’ve been enjoying digital so much with its Undo and Zoom features, I found myself stressed out even before I sketched this one.…

Redraw Series: “Light Signal”
While sailing the Mediterranean Sea in 1962, the American aircraft carrier USS Independence flashed the Amerigo Vespucci with the light signal asking: “Who are you?” The full-rigged ship answered: “Training ship Amerigo Vespucci, Italian Navy.” The Independence replied: “You are the most beautiful ship in the world.” This is a digital redraw from Inktober 2019…

Drawings dump
I’ve been actively drawing again recently (yay!) and I really want to keep the momentum. I’m starting to think that this blog can be improved (maybe some kind of portfolios area?) — but I still want to stick with blog-look. I already have some kind of “work archive” here, but I really want to tidy…

Mid-Autumn Festival
It feels like we are cautiously optimistic recently. We now have 80% of the adult population that have received complete vaccination doses, and it seems like everyone starting to share a wee bit of celebrations mood — and it’s such a beautiful moment to see Mid-Autumn Festival marks the start of something new. Lets hope…

Automattic Swag 2021: Wapuu Lion Dance
In Automattic, we usually have yearly announcements of new designs or products for our swag/merchandise. For 2021, the swag is a little bit special to me — mostly because I involved in one of the sticker series design. Introducing: Lion Dance Wapuu. This is actually a project that started as a joke. One of my…

The Cookie Jar Analogy (English version)
Many months ago, I wrote about Cookie Jar Analogy to explain the connection between domain name(s) and website in Indonesian. I wanted to continue with what domain mapping/connecting is and how it works; but I decided to re-start it with The Cookie Jar Analogy again in English. I hope it’s okay with you ? As…

A Friendly Visit (2020)
When people told you that “your drawing looks childish and cartoonish” and I’d say go ahead and post that masterpiece because you do you.

Inktober 2019: Day 23
I didn’t draw anything yesterday because I got too busy and too tired. So! Nasi lemak is as Malaysia as Malaysia itself. It’s really easy to find this nation’s favorite — especially in the morning-time; although Malaysians enjoy nasi lemak virtually every possible moment in a day. There is this nasi lemak stall nearby my…
