Doodle : Come Back

*

Hello !

Like all any other people who draw and write for a living, I don't like " artist's block ". It is when I can't produce any other work, or trying to do so when end up with crumpled papers. Usually it happens when I finished a big project. In this case, my previous big project was Pipit Creative Market. 

It is very common and there is nothing to worry about. What I usually do is get online and explore the net for inspiration. It will take probably the shortest is for days and the worse is for months. I explore the net, read books, see visual books, listen to songs, watch movie, or travel. 

For almost a week, I've been having this condition. 

So for inspiration, luckily I followed my two favorite artist's instagram : May Ann Licudine & Audrey Kawasaki. They inspire me again with their beautiful artworks. 

Here are their instagram : Shardula & Audkawa.

And for all those commission orders and freelance works, it is on its way. I just got better from short artist's block.

And for the come back, I made several doodles in my doodle book :

And my Awan's sticker is coming up ! 

I'll test print it soon.

PS : Mum asked me why I keep on drawing these little people. 

As a warm-up, of course ! :D

Doodle : Zamzammee

*

Hello !

Some of you might know my old-time doodle partner, zamzammee. I met him a couple of days ago for iftar, while waiting for the time, I took the chance to ask for a doodle. The amazing thing about him is the ability to doodle so fast on the spot. I am always amazed by what he can do.

I learned from him, back when doodle isn't so popular on the net. We've started to doodle and shared it  with the public through the net several years ago, in 2009. And by 2010, we started to join events and interviews. He isn't really active online, but he is really good in this. Check out his work in his facebook, not much were shared, but that's a start :D

Hello !

I have a habit of taking notes & doodle when I hear or saw any interesting things that I want to remember. As a human, I know I have a brain of a goldfish, I forget things so easily! So I take notes on things in my various notebooks. Quotes, interesting sayings, inspirations, items around me, and such. Here are some of them :

Currently I am doing a personal project, experimenting doodle in large scale! I've been wanting to vandalize a space and at last I got a space for my own to doodle on :

 Will finish in few more weeks I think, due to my tight schedule.

Remember those little wooden pendant I did last year? These are whats left, I put it on my wall :

Happy doodling guys!

Book : Over-excitement

*

Have I ever mentioned in my blog that I love Carlos Ruiz Zafon's book? I bought The Shadow of the Wind two years ago and I fell in love with his story and I thanked the translator Lucia Graves for the breathtaking translation too, because it was beautifully written! I bought The Angel's Game few months after and I just saw The Prisoner of Heaven at the bookstore! 

I just bought 3 books last week so it is over my budget. So sad! So so so sad :(

Current books by my bed :

I even bought Fadhli's first book published ! Congratulation Fadhli! :

Random logo inspiration by Popcorn :

Doodle : Faces

I referred this from humanae , a project that collects various human's skin tone. Came across this project when I read my boss's blog on this and I found it interesting to see various of faces in one long page. So I had to pick up my sketch book and sketch them up a bit.
