Double Rainbow

Image
Okay. I thought it was alone. I was like "Woah. A rainbow. Imma take a picture." Then after a while I thought, "I wish I could see more of it." I actually wished to just see the rainbow closer, but suddenly I really did see "more" of it. IT'S A DOUBLE RAINBOW!!! I lost my mind. Jk. Not really. Simple as it is, it's still really fun to look at. It gives me hope, because I remember his promises for me. I guess after the rain comes a rainbow, but if you have enough enough faith, you'd see another one.

30 Day Drawing challenge - Day 12,13,14

Image
Draw something slimy, water and Heavy lifting (honestly I didn't get this one) I drew a male and a female bodybuilder snail (YEAH!) and a water bottle! Sorry for not posting for a while. Hope you liked it!

The star and I

Image
It was still barely dusk yet there is this one star that appeared before all; Almost invisible and unnoticeable, but it was there all along showing its enthusiasm and radiant glow. As I took this picture, I realized that it was possible that this star could be particularly younger than most stars. This star could be living within for millions of years older than our solar system. It's possible that this star is already eaten by a black hole. This star could probably be gone. This is God's creation revealing itself through a humble speck of light. Great  is its power, and fearsome it could be, yet it continuously gives light along with the other stars to guide me through the night. Photons travel through lightyears of vacuum across the galaxy just to end up being absorbed by my eyes that that makes me see through the dark. Though it never gets anything from me, I benefit from it.  I know stars are some of the things I don't deserve

30 Day Drawing challenge - Day 9, 10, 11

Image
Day 9, 10, 11 of my 30 Day Drawing Challenge: Draw a robot, someone angry and something I'm not good at drawing I drew a toy robot inside the bottle, an angry kid and a close-up version of his hand, and a background with a different type of perspective! The first two are very simple. What made the difference is the style and the medium used.  I do not normally use gel pens for drawing, and specially not for colouring. That really made the difference, I tell you. It took me three days just to get the details I want for my background!  Three Days! Well, let' say about 22 hours and they are divided into three days, unequally. How did I make this? First, I studied how the refraction of light works. Yes. I held the bottle of water outside the window. I looked weird, but it was definitely interesting to observe how the surroundings looked so different through the bottle.  Then I drew, with pencil guidelines of course.

Semi-realistic guy drawing

Image
About five months ago, during some math classes, I was so bored I drew this. I'm kind of proud of the result, since it's my first time drawing part-anime part-realistic style (a style that I created out of my small knowledge on both arts) I think it turned out okay. I just didn't know how I created the lips though. First time for everything I guess? I drew this using a mechanical pencil, probably the reason why the hair looks so shiny. I hope you liked it!

My own Character - Alapaap

Image
I've looked through my old drawings and saw this. His name is Alapaap obviously. :) Look! I found my drawing of the true form Alapaap. Those were the days where fantasy was my favourite, but my art style wasn't still fully formed (actually, until now I don't have a specific art style). Looks like I improved I guess.  Somewhat. Do you have an original character too?

The cry of the city flowers

Image
          In my country, transportation through highways and asphalt roads is very important. I, needing to go to various places, travel through the same roads as everyone. In some months, like July and August, rain would be present in my daily travels, and I would get pissed when that happens.                   Don't get me wrong: I love the rain! I just don't like the rain when I am commuting. Travelling in fair weather is already a hassle!           A while ago, as raindrops hit the window of the UV and the steam from my head combats the cold air of the van, I saw something unusual.           The bushes by the road were healthily and vividly green, and they were elaborately presenting their flowers as though they were fresh and new.  My anger dissipated because I realised,  "Why would I be angry if it gives life to such beauty?"              Yeah. I am oddly amazed.          Well maybe that was an exaggeration.

30 Day Drawing Challenge Day 6, 7, 8

Day 6, 7, 8 of my 30 Day Drawing Challenge: Draw a toy, a bird and a secret respectively I drew an old bunny stuffed toy (toy), an owl of my own species (bird) and a mirror (secret)! You can obviously see which one of the items I gave so much effort. What do you think my secret is? :)

Blurred Lines

Image
          I was sitting on the passenger's seat of the UV express on my way home.            When I set my headphone and started my "travel music", time suddenly presses on the gas and speeds up. The world around suddenly turns into a sweeping flurry of lines and colours, while the sky above still intact. Occasionally, the world stops and becomes clear again as the car waits at certain bus stops.           Every time this happens, I feel like I am in a new world. I am in a new reality from where I've just been 20 minutes ago.           This is what I feel in the daily travels that I do. Sure, I get familiar with all the places that I've been, but it's still amazing to think that you are actually surrounded by different communities full of different lives, backgrounds, status and connections. Around you are different people and environments with different priorities and beliefs.           They are like small worlds; a bunch of systems direct

Invoker DOTA 2 Wall Art (Fan Art)

Image
I was on my home when I saw this wonderful wall art. Yep. A wall art for a computer shop.  I was so amazed at the art that I accidentally said "Invoker" out. Everyone around me looked at me like "what is this weirdo kid saying?" Well, who does say names of random DOTA 2 characters on the side walk? Still, I am amazed on how an artist uses only a few colours to make this character alive. Only the picture is mine; the art and the character goes to their respective owners Really. I got tingles seeing this in real life. It's cool isn't it?

An awfully sunny day

Image
It's an awfully sunny day today. Every time I look at the sky, it reminds me of an upside down sea with moving white islands. Every time I look around, I see shrubs growing, flowers blooming, and trees standing. Every time I look within, I saw my heart still intact, and my brain still with me. I stopped in my tracks saying, " His creation is so amazing." To think about it, there was a theory where every movement could make the stars move, but what if there was someone moving the stars to allow us to continue our lives everyday? I won't believe that this creation is just an accident. This is a miracle.

Whisper

Image
What if death was about to come to you? What if you were accused of a sin you've never made? What if your loved ones would be put on danger because of you? I was a witness of a crime that had been known for its vulgarity and mercilessness. A crime that killed a family. A crime blamed on me. I was the witness, the witness of the sin, yet I was referred to as the killer. I was there: I held the knife, my clothes were drenched in blood, and at my foot were two corpses of a man and a woman. I was called the murderer of this homicide. I was the one who pierced the heart of the woman. I was the one who slit the throat of the man. I was the one who witnessed their last breaths. I was innocent. I did not know how it happened. I would never do that to the man that I treated as my refuge. I would never do that to the woman I treated as my comfort. I would never do that to the family that is my home and what I could call  mine . I was conquered by a very fearsome force. A

Pokemon Art 1

Image
     Sometimes,  I just like to draw Pokemon, so I challenged myself! I'd be drawing the most anthropomorphic Pokemon. (Based on my opinion though)      By the way, the picture may seem blurry or messy. It's really just difficult to share traditional art without a scanner or a good phone. Also, I'm not good at drawing cartoons, but I try.      Anyways, here are two of my works. Liligant Tsareena       Would you like to suggest which human-shaped Pokemon will I draw? Comment down below, and I will try my best to draw your suggestions!

Time for myself

Image
Charcoal drawing with camera filter Sometimes, I just feel like I need to have time to reflect about my life; a time to think what I shouldn't have done but I did, or what I should done but I didn't; a time to reminisce and a time to mourn a time to regret and a time to be grateful a time where I will be honest about what I feel and realise that I shouldn't let my emotions take over my logic and beliefs. Do you experience these moments too?

Plastic Spoon Flowers

I made plastic spoon flowers! Look at how many forks left out. I got my inspiration from Threadbanger's video on how to make them. Yea or Meh?
