So~ I'm trying this for the first time. I had this photo of a drawing I did in maybe... Form 6. It was on an exam paper or exercise paper... I can't remember... but I had this photo in my computer and I decided to do an experiment on it. 

I had this idea when my cousin sent me a video of her drawing. (Thank you, H) And I thought, maybe this is easier than drawing in "paint" program directly... It took me about two days, (including lots of tetris battle when it had energy) and my eyes were blurry from staring at the computer for such a long time. I couldn't differentiate blue and black at one point. 

It took quite some time to trace out the outline since the original drawing is blurry. I couldn't see any lines at certain parts. Then again, it was a sketch... 

The coloring part took lots of undoing (thank you for the invention of ctrl + U !!!) since I'm using a mouse that's a bit faulty. After the coloring, I was thinking should I do toning but with some tests, and lots of undoing, I decided to leave it that way... the toning would need maybe another day or two... So, I just stopped at plain color.

So the photos below are the progress at different stages. There's not much of a difference because I only started saving at halfway through the process.

How is it?

~Please do tell me~

There was this senior in school that recommended me a software... but I've never used any drawing software besides paint... maybe I'll try it some other day.

I'm having a mini project and hopefully it'll be going smoothly. It takes some patience and a proper mouse. Seriously, I should get a mouse faster. The project is inspired by H. Seriously unexpected, but anyway,

THANK YOU, H.

Hey, how are you doing?

To the you who is struggling with trust.

I see you, who's still afraid to go out alone.

I see you, who's still worried about how people see you.

I see you, who's still trying to present yourself as perfect as you can be.

I see you, who's still afraid to step out of your safe sanctuary.

I may not know how exactly you feel. All I know is that, you may feel scared. You may feel sad. You may feel disappointed. You may feel frustration, even anger...

Grey as it can be, do try to smile, do try to be cheery. It all starts from baby steps. Smile, when you see your family, your relatives, your friends. Start from people who you are close to, who you are comfortable with. Little steps. It may be awkward, but don't worry, just smile. Smile, maybe you'll feel happier, more confident. If not, slowly, you'll get there.

I haven't been drawing for quite awhile now... I know, it's quite sad. But I've been doing some doodling. Sometimes in class, I looked at my blue pen and focused on it's tip. And... what I get are... doodles on my hand...

Anyway, here are some random photos from the past few months...

Beach~ morning. There wasn't any proper sunrise because it was too cloudy.

 Beach~ evening. Pink, orange, blue... very beautiful

 Numbers... enough said.

 Riverfront~ evening.

 Riverfront~ evening. The sky was very beautiful that time.

long time no see~

so yeah, this would be more of a rant thingy since... i can't have time to breathe properly. *Literally, since the air is smoky these days. The forest at the beach are almost always on fire every night. Like seriously?! Why would you bother firing up wood at the beach every night? You don't do BBQ every single night, do you? The weather here is already shiny sunny shiny for the past few months. We've haven't got a decent rainy minute. The only rain coming down are the ones that lasts 7 seconds. I pity us, I pity the earth. So much destruction... darn global warming... darn humans... aish, rambling about random stuff eh? Well, I don't dare to speak for the past 4 days since my throat is pretty much ruined. Nice going there, girl. 

Well, it's 2.12am in the morning of 5th May. Good morning everyone, and I hope you have a great day and smile always.

Love, the maniac.
