Today I had drawing class. Today's theme was: LINES.
Everything we drew were lines and lines and lines, if colored it would resemble an optical illusion. @___@

Last thing we had to draw was anything, but in 20 minutes it had to be finished. Quick drawing. I drew my original character in a more realistic way since I drew anime-style, but the lips and the nose turned out horrible... OH one thing, our rulers and erasers were confiscated since before we drew the lines, so we couldn't erase a thing... (I erased the nose once using the eraser on my mechanical pencil while the lecturer and ass. lecturer weren't looking though :p)

Aaand we got homework, which was drawing more lines.... great. Harder and needed to be perfected, or... be graded less than satisfying. I heard my drawing lecturer is not a generous person in grading..... so he's kinda strict I think! In terms of grading.

But today I got good news!

So, my university is having an event this Friday and Saturday. Their website is:

Registration's over, but anyone can come to Binus International this Friday and Saturday to come over and see the event!

I entered the competition for digital painting, in which the theme is custom folktale (Indonesian folktale), and chose "Timun Mas" folktale to be customized.


Reading a lot of Crayon Shinchan comics, and after one google image search, one image inspired me to do the picture above!

 On the left is the picture which inspired me to do a Crayon Shinchan version of Timun Mas. And I succeeded! I became one of the finalists thanks to the crazy idea... Thanks a lot Crayon Shinchan!


It was speedy painting, so it was messy and had a lot of white spots... I had to redraw the line art so some white spots can be covered. One thing I'm worried about is, as one of the finalists, I had to do live painting, watched by audiences... using Adobe Photoshop. I never liked Photoshop's inconvenient Undo button, unlike Paint Tool SAI's, and also the coloring system in Photoshop -_____- I'm screwed......


Oh, since for drawing class we had two sketch books, one for assignment and one for practicing drawing, I have something to show from my practice sketch book :)
