Assalamualaikum.

Alhamdulillah 2-3 hari ni berkesempatan untuk melukis.... Hmm. Mungkin kena letak juga watermark pada lukisan lepas ni... kita tengok keadaan dulu...

Selepas noob paint & photoshop sikit2...

Progres... Lihat kepada imej 2, karakter kelihatan agak bland walaupun sudah diberi basic layer. Selepas line2 yang tertentu ditebalkan (bold) sedikit, subjek nampak menyerlah dan lebih presentable. Saya perasan hal ini agak crucial untuk memberi mood yang sesuai kepada karakter contohnya dalam manga, manhwa, dsb.

Winter.

Assalamualaikum.

Tajuk kali ini mungkin susah sikit nak relate dengan negara macam Malaysia. Sekarang, rata2 negara yang mengalami cuaca 4 musim sedang berada dalam musim sejuk. Mungkin juga sudah kurang sikit2 dan sudah mula menjengah musim bunga.

Bulan Januari tahun ini mencatatkan winter pertama saya. Snow pertama. Eh. Bukan belajar oversea, pergi bercuti je.

Meskipun seronok melihat putih salju di jalanraya, Malaysia tetap best. Percayalah. ^^

Holidays, and a few words on staying monochrome.

Assalamualaikum. It's been a nice holiday, 1 week since then have passed. I just got back from a trip, an exciting one. Just got the opportunity to hold my pens again ^^ So here goes.

Some people (quite a few actually) asked me when I'm going to color my works. Honestly I'm learning to do it verryyyyy slowly. And for someone like me, coloring can take up lots of time, which I fervently dislike. Not saying that people who do color their work are time-wasters though. I like colors, just that I'm now bad at it ^^;

Besides, I feel black and white had their own charms in expressing a character/ drawings that is unattainable by colored ones, vice versa. So it's safe to say that for 2012, the works in this blog will stay monochrome until further notice.

Sorry for excess babbling in this post and may Allah bless all of us ^^

edit: how do you like the new banner? :D
