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 11: Sour

    Once upon a time, Batara Kala looked at the Moon and thinking that the Moon looks so yummy and decided to take a bite out of it. Little did Batara Kala know, the Moon is actually a lemon and it’s really sour! Poor Batara Kala. Read more about Batara Kala and the myth of eclipse…

    Inktober Day 10: Pick

    I’m learning and trying to create depth here. The Little Cat is climbing a cliff and finally arrived at the top — I’m visioning this vast landscape displayed as the background. I’m still learning about perspective, so creating this one has been a pretty challenging process.

    Inktober Day 9: Pressure

    We are entering middle of the month which means it’s so easy to get confused what date it is and which prompt. I like little critters; and even though the official prompt of today is “Pressure”, my brain went, “is it possible for a porcupine to ride a bicycle?” Yes. Yes, it’s possible.

    In Malaysian/Malay/Indonesian folklores, there is a character named “Pak Belang” (Mister Stripes), or “Kakek Belang” (Grandpa Stripes) that usually live deep inside the forest with magical powers of granting wishes and feared by the villagers.

    Inktober Day 6: Spirit

    When I was a kid, my late grandma always said, “excuse me…“ whenever we walked passed some abandoned gardens or some kind of forests. I asked her why; she answered — and apparently it’s really common among Javanese folks — that the forests or some abandoned places might have some invisible residents. We as humans…

    Inktober Day 5: Raven

    I set brightness and exposure like crazy here since I took the pic in the evening (using indoor lighting) — and you know how it is with the shadows and all that. I’m starting to like the cat character. It’s like creating your own adventure; from sailing the sea full of stars (Day 4) to…

    This drawing relates with yesterday’s drawing and I pretty like it. Also REJOIIIIICE MY UNI-BALL SIGNO GOLD PEN WORKS AGAIIIIN!

    Inktober Day 3: Vessel

    I can’t draw ship to save my life so I decided to “wing it” (get it get it? Heheheheheh) and make some kind of fantasy-themed drawing.
