Hi everyone!

So I decided to make a random blog post in the midst of... many assignments. I always do T___T

Mid terms are coming, and my to-do list so far are:

1. Graphic design mid project: redesigning a culture magazine (I chose to redesign National Geographic) and creating the redesigned spreads in InDesign. They are not few -___- but at least it's not a whole magazine.

2. Typography II mid project is still pending. But I have an assignment due tomorrow (I'm so lazy)

3. Digital Animation I mid project: create a 3D model of 4 items and render them.

4. Illustration Design mid project is still pending, but an assignment is due a day after tomorrow T_T

5. Multimedia I mid project is to finish at least 15 screens for our desired website.

Here goes.... the process of my drawing mid term project... that kept me awake until 5 AM... because I did the work like a damn boss! A2 paper, fully colored with color pencils-- that should take a few days to complete.... I did it in below 12 hours (straight). Even until now, I still do my home work by last minute method, and it is unhealthy :'S

Before big projects I would stay lateeeee, maybe pulling an all-nighter like I did with this project. So far, I have not pulled many all-nighters... the first time was when I had sleepover at a friend's house, then I stayed until 4 AM talking through BlackBerry Messenger during New Years, and twice for finishing Drawing subject projects :'D the first drawing project that made me pull an all-nighter was the final project of Drawing I subject. Then came this Drawing II mid term project! If I do not start repairing this bad habit of procrastinating, I am definitely pulling another all-nighter for my Drawing II final project! :'D

Why did it take so long for me to finish it?

Because while doing the project, I was still pro-cras-ti-na-ting! B-)
I had my iPad beside me, being charged. I will play Gardens of Time once my energy is refilled even just a bit, or play Diamond Dash. Also, I had my best friend and biggest distraction ever-- BLACKBERRY!

I was bbming my friend while slowly.. slowly progressing with the project. These work in progress pictures also existed because my friend asked how it was going for me, and I took it using BlackBerry camera- which explains the bad quality of the picture XD

I am not a big fan of drawing people + backgrounds, especially when it is colored... because it takes too much time. I prefer line art works, or nicely rendered pencil works (hoping it does not smudge). If I decide to color my art work, I make sure the art work is not on huge papers such as A2... A3 is still okay and A4 or A5 would be perfect. B-)

Speaking of art works... I have not updated this blog with my art work for so long because... I have a blogging-block. Writers block, just in blogging. Do not take the term seriously, I am just mixing up words :P

Starting from two weeks ago on Thursday, we are on our mid term exam period. Which means, no class! And we go to campus only if needed, especially for exams and submitting projects.

On the first day of mid term exam period, all majors of my year are having Academic English exam. It was moderately difficult, just because of the essay and very limited time. I'll have to practice writing essays in a fast pace -_-






This was for my mid term Design and Materials project -_- took 2 days to finish. I should start working on these kind of projects earlier... This really eats time and patience when you want to perfect it.


For drawing mid term project, we were supposed to draw still-life setting of our own. The first was the reference I sent my lecturer, the second was the setting I finally made, and I have to add an extra piece of glass-made object hoping it won't ruin the set.
