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. It’s good for his Lord to have interests and actually stick to it — last time his Lord trying something that the youngsters refer to as “yoga”, they had to do an extensive memory manipulating on half a dozen of mortals because how does his Lord know that “flying among the clouds” is actually a figurative expression, not actually flying?

His Lord’s new lifestyle is low risk too. It makes the tomato seller on the farmers market really happy, so it’s a win-win solution.

One of my childhood dreams was to be a palaeontologist— the first one was being an astronaut (this is one of the many reasons why I love drawing space — especially Moon-related — scenes.)

When the Earth was young, when the fire was forged, when the soil was rich with whispers.

It’s kinda a long lost dream, I guess? But there are times I’m glad I can live it through the Little Cat.

I think my medium-nib brush pen got slightly frayed. It keeps getting this “feathery” look, and it annoys me.

This is one of the drawings that I feel “meh”, but I’m glad I took the courage to try drawing rain and the water splash when it hits the earth. I still need to learn a great deal of capturing natural elements and details, but I feel this is a good start.
