My Milestone Drawing: Legendary Assassins from Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed (with Progress Shot)

After several months juggling between working, having a vacation and drawing, I finally able to finish this artwork. The Legendary Assassins from Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed is finally done! I consider this artwork as my milestone drawing because this is the first time ever I tried to draw using a bigger size paper (A3) fron the usual A4 and A5 size paper. The longest amount of time I ever spent on making a single artwork (A total of 45 frickin hours people!). The most number of people drawn in one artwork (5 legendary assassins). What a challenge I have done to myself hahaha. O well, it’s all worthed I think, because I am sooo satisfied on how this drawing turns out.

Here it is my Artwork #75, The Legendary Assassins from Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed

Another graphite pencil drawing is my first time ever attempt on drawing a family member. This time is a picture of my mother, using a reference photograph from 1976. I think I will give this as a birthday gift for her. I love the vintage look of the photograph and here it is my artwork # 66

Scrapbook Project: Baby Bumi’s Scrapbook Wall Decor

Setelah sekian lama ‘absen’ akhirnya saya kembali bersentuhan dengan bahan-bahan scrapbook;) Kali ini request scrapbook adalah untuk newborn baby salah satu teman saya. The baby’s name is Bumi which I think is pretty awesome;).

Kombinasi berbagai scrapbook series saya gunakan untuk project ini. Tema warnanya adalah coklat dan biru vintage berhubung baby-nya berjenis kelamin laki-laki.

Wall decor ini dibuat di atas canvas ukuran 20×20 cm yang saya lapisi dengan kertas decoupage terlebih dahulu baru dihias dengan berbagai kertas scrapboook.

That is all guys, have an awesome day!

365 Artwork Challenge: Susan Sarandon – My Entry for A Drawing Workshop Selection Process (with Progress Shot)

Scrapbook Project : Memanfaatkan Kotak Parfum Bekas Menggunakan Scrapbook

Tahun ini saya memutuskan untuk menulis posting mengenai scrapbook dengan menggunakan bahasa Indonesia dan posting mengenai artwork menggunakan bahasa Inggris. Tujuannya agar scrapbook di Indonesia bisa semakin familiar dan lebih populer.

Anyway, project kali ini sebenarnya adalah project iseng yang saya buat karena saya baru saja memiliki rak TV baru yang belum ada hiasannya. Saya berpikir daripada menghabiskan banyak uang untuk membeli dekorasi rak, lebih baik memanfaatkan skill scrapbooking saya dan menggunakan benda-benda yang ada di rumah. Kali ini benda yang saya pilih adalah sebuah kotak parfum bekas sebagai alternatif home decor.

Kotak parfum ini bentuknya unik, mirip kotak perhiasan dengan bentuk tiga perempat lingkaran. Parisian look menurut saya cukup cocok untuk menghias kotak ini.

365 Artwork Challenge: My First Try Drawing Long and Thick Hair Using Charcoal – Zoe Saldana (With Progress Shot)

Her role as Anamaria in Pirates of The Caribbean, Uhura in Star Trek, Neytiri in Avatar, and my personal favorite, as Gamora in The Guardians of The Galaxy are enough to make me want to draw her as my artwork #49.

This is my second attempt to make a portrait drawing of a person with long and thick hair. The last drawing I did is the Liv Tyler piece using graphite pencil. You can see the post here. This time for Zoe Saldana’s picture, I’m using charcoal on my most reliable sketchbook.

I think I’m pretty satisfied with my work on her hair. The charcoal really shows the contrast of her hair beautifully.

Here’s some progress shot of the drawing:

365 Artwork Challenge: “You Have Failed This City” – Oliver Queen as The Arrow

I am a freak for a good TV series and I think that Arrow is one of my favorite DC Comic’s superhero right now. After finishing season 2, I decided to make a charcoal drawing dedicated for the series. This is also a request from my friend who is also a great fan of the series.

Here’s my artwork #48, which is a another attempt on using charcoal in a portrait drawing:

Oliver Queen – Arrow, Charcoal on Paper

I’m trying a new type of paper for this drawing and I hated it. The surface is too rough and have too many pores that it’s difficult for me to blend the charcoal. I’m not really satisfied with this drawing but I guess that’s the whole process on learning to draw. You have to experienced many mistakes to know what suitable for you.

Anyway, here’s a couple of progress shot of the drawing. I accidentally delete some picture, so I’m sorry if it doesn’t really show the progress step-by-step.

This is when I knew that I hated the paper

Oh, I would also like to share to you what my typical Sunday looked like:

Drawing, Reading, and A Cup of Hot Earl Grey Tea

I used Derwent Charcoal Set (always) for this drawing. I hope you all liked it. Have an awesome day guys!

365 Artwork Challenge: Trying Something New! Drawing in a Cover of a Notebook

Another new challenge and a new idea for my artwork. It started when I saw another plain notebook. This time it’s my boyfriend’s Moleskine notebook. A great quality notebook with endless possibility to make art;)

I come across Shoo Rayner’s Drawing School again and decided to make his Mayflower tutorial on Youtube as the cover of the notebook. So this is my artwork #46:

“The Mayflower” on Moleskine Cover, Following a Tutorial from Shoo Rayner’s Drawing School

You see the plain cover Moleskine on the background. I used Sharpie Permanent Marker Ultra Fine Point for the illustration of the Mayflower and Stained by Sharpie for the calligraphy. “Project” is a title for the notebook since my boyfriend use it for his work project ideas. I’m thinking to draw another illustration for his other two notebooks that will be titled “Basic” and “Accounting”. I know, it sounds boring hahaha… but I will make it ‘less’ boring by drawing something interesting on the cover there soon.

Here’s another close up of the artwork:

That is all guys. Hope you liked it. Have an awesome day!
