Things I see around me

Just some fun things to see while in Chicago!

So many saddening things happened in my beloved country. When Lombok haven’t revived from the disaster, another city was devastated by a huge earthquake and tsunami. Whenever I open the social media, there are people asking for help to find their missing family members. My heart races, hoping that they will reunite soon and alive. I can’t do anything besides praying for them. I’m also frightened to think that the disaster could happen in my city too. So, if you’re reading this, I’m asking for your prayers. May god protect us all.

I love drawing series of things. This week's pick: owls.

Spooky doodle outlined with pink Fabre-Castell Pitt pen and painted in with Koi brush pens, using brush and water to dilute right on the page.

From the series Forlorn Fruit

"Heaven was putting distance between her and everyone." ~ A blackout poem from a recycled page of Riding with the Hides of Hell, which now has a new-and-improved title, Burnout. It's a young adult story about motorcycles, a road trip, adventure, and love.

This is one of my favourites of the series :)

Do you enjoy creepy and/or sad things? This entire series is basically "I was a teenage goth."

Fruits have insecurities too. From the series "Forlorn Fruits"

A tiny 'Thumbodies' gal! She enjoys crafting with objects found in nature and likes making delicious herbal tea blends. Online comic & doodles @ doodletowncomic.com

Yes, continuing with gouache paint set and still Stranger Things surfaces.

Just because, experimenting with new gouache paint set and I so happen to like Stranger Things.

Watercolor with pink pen. One of my favorite things to do when I draw is just to pile on. It does take longer to complete but I always end up happy that I did it.

Sometimes I like to draw things in the reverse (filling in the light areas, leaving the dark areas bare) and then flip them to see how I did. Today's warmups turned out pretty well. My favorite is the kid on the top, whose head & hair echo the strawberry shape. I wish I'd distinguished the girl's legs from the dog's body on the left more, but overall, not bad.

I went to the museum and started sketching some of the masks and things that were in there..

This page includes a sketch I made pulled over on the road near Pontiac, IL, a shield I stamped using a stamp I carved (pretty crude , but still works!), and some stickers I had made of sketches of other things in the area.

"I remember you put a smile on my face. Now I got the crow's feet." ~ A blackout poem from a recycled page of Burnout, an Young Adult adventure/romance story.

Watercolor illustration lined with pink pen. Borders created with washi tape.
