Art Journal: Thank You!

Greetings!

Have you've been thankful for today?

Sometimes we forget to say thank you for those who helped us. Sometimes a simple word like thank you can make someone happy, although what they did is not that important. Sometimes thank you also means you're satisfied with what you have now.

Let's be kind one another.

That's all for today. We'll see you all again soon!

Thank you for reading!

Art Journal: Daydreaming

Greetings! ❤

Sometime all you have to do is daydreaming and make it happen.

Well, I guess daydreaming isn't all bad like that. Sometimes, you'll get much ideas in your daydreaming activity. But make sure you do all the ideas come true.

That's all for today. We'll see you all again soon!

Art Journal: Love is All You Need

Greetings! ❤

This time, I try to do a brush lettering in my own style.

It's kinda hard to do brush lettering actually. I think I'd prefer to do my own typography style. I do my style with all kinds of Sakura decorative pens: Stardust, Aqualip, and Metallic pens for dark color papers. And mix media with Faber Castell's connector pens and some Snowman Drawing Pens in various tip point. For the paper I choose sketch paper, black paper, brown paper, and watercolor paper. It's fun to mix media and try all the various art supplies.

That's all for today. We'll see you all again soon!

Happy new year 2017! 🎆 😃  🎇

It's been a while since our last Art Journal post. It's the first month of the new year but not the first time of the month since I was taking my day offs and kinda enjoy life while making some working plans for this year.

They say January is a right time to start something good, so I want to make this year better than before so I will start this year with positive vibes. Having faith that many good things happen this year and more blessings we receive each day. Well, I guess it's not the new you, but the better you. Starting today, let's spread love and positive vibes, and make the world a better living.

Art Journal: Doodling While Waiting

Greetings!

Doodling is one of my activity now while waiting my team at the on going project is finished with what they're doing. Despite I am bored, I choose to doodling since it's fun and make the time flies so fast.

I don't know why all I have in mind is something like that. Floral pattern and more. I hope something popped in my mind other than floral again tomorrow.

That's all for today. We'll see you all gain soon!

Art Journal: What's Popped in My Head Earlier Today?

Greetings!

Today is my another day at the construction site to review all the on going project. Like few days ago, I decided to bring my stack of black papers to the site and start drawing while my team is doing what they have to do.

Lately I've been thinking more about floral and what I can explore from it. Although it seems the same like earlier drawings, but I still need to learn more how to practice my arms to make something good and improving my doodling and sketching skills.

That's all for today. We'll see you all again soon!

Art Journal: Doodles Before Noodles

Greetings! 💕

It's been a while since my last post about the daily art i make everyday. Sometimes I just don't feel like i'm going to do it. But lately, since I spent most of my times on the construction site doing an interior design (ummm, maybe let;'s call it interior in an outdoor space) project that's still on going, i took my black paper and my Sakura's Gelly Roll Stardust pens in Rainbow colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, magenta, plus pink.

Well, wait for no longer!

These are the two doodles I made while waiting on the project's site. All theme in floral, not because I love floral that much, but since the ideas was popped first in my head when started to do the art (yeah, let's call them art. 😁).

25/11/2016

The art will continue and so on. I hope I can make something good while spending my times managing all the project's teams at the site.

Art Journal: Enjoy The Life

Greetings!

This is our art of the day. Enjoy!

If you notice, I always fill this category mostly with paper artwork projects as my art journal and my art therapy. Well, for me, making paper artwork is much simpler that drawing sketches or making the brush lettering. So maybe paper artwork is my most healer everytime the stressful day comes. But don't worry, I still learn to use my hand in drawing and using the brush pen to share something good and beautiful.

We'll see you all soon! We hope you can enjoy our art of the day!

Art Journal: Hello Adventure! :)

Greetings!

Here's our art of the day. Enjoy!

I love adventure so much. I really easily get bored if I'm too long stay in one place. So I love fast movement and experience many things new. Though I am so scared and so worry about what tomorrow will be at the beginning, but in the end I feel so blessed that I can pass one more island in my life adventure.

Sometimes I can face the thunder storm or hurricane or maybe earthquake, but I have faith that my adventure will be beautiful at the end of the path. Well, sometimes the journey is not so smooth as I wan it to be, but I have supports from the loved ones.

That's all for art of the day. We'll see you again soon!

Thank you for reading and enjoying our art!

Art Journal: Let's Go By Train!

Greetings!
This is our art of the day. Enjoy!

I took a picture of Malinda Tania at the Bogor Station. This photo was taken last month while waiting our train to get us to Jakarta.

Travelling by train has been our favorite public transportation. The train is called by the name Commuter Line Jabodetabek (Jakarta-Bogor-Depok-Tangerang-Bekasi). Less-traffic jammed and the stations are set near all the main places that commuters will visit. Business district area, living area, and also shopping center. But in busy times like in the morning and afternoon, the train will be sooo crowded even you can't move your body.

We hope Indonesia will have a better public transportation that can connect people from around the area. More public transportation means less air pollution because we can reduce the used of cars and motorcycle.

Thank you for enjoying our art of the day! We'll see you again soon!

Paper artwork: Welcome March

OK, I know it's a little bit too late for welcoming March since it's almost mid of March. But it's better to say it than never. March is a special month for me because it's the month of my birthday. So it's time for a little reunion with my friends who's coming back home from another part of the world. Well, I guess it will be another fun month for March!

Art Journal: Art Therapy

Greetings!
This is our art of the day.

Have you ever heard an Art Therapy? According to Wikipedia.com, Art Therapy (or Arts Therapy) is a creative method of expression used as a therapeutic technique.
We use an Art Therapy to release a stressful feeling in a day. We can't say everyday always a happy day. Sometimes, we're also facing the gloomiest day too. And because we love art so much, an Art Therapy is really helpful. And whenever we can, we always make art projects to turn a gloomy day into a happy day.

Well, this is our art of the day. Enjoy!

Brush Lettering: Between Pigma and Koi Brush Pen
We are learning Brush Lettering with the two brush pen from Sakura, Pigma and Koi. Both have a different character of brush. Koi has a little bit more stiff than Pigma, while Pigma is more flexible like a real brush. So far I's rather choose Koi Brush Pen because it's more easily to control the thickness of the line.

Art Journal: Making Art With A Happy Heart

Paper Artwork: The Museum Journey

Last week we got a chance to visit the old town, Kota Tua, Jakarta. It was a very happy and sunny day to walk through some museums. One of it is Bank Indonesia Museum in front of the Kota Train Station. It is a wonderful place to enjoy the economy history of Indonesia, from ancient history up to now. Make sure you bring your camera on (no tripod and selfie stick) because it's fun to take pictures in some beautiful spots (unfortunately we cannot take pictures in all around the area).

Lately I've been so interested to Calligraphy and Brush Lettering so I learn all the things by my own from the Instagram and the tutorial from Youtube. Bought the Calligraphy pen and Brush pen earlier today and curious to try it out. And the result is... it's not that easy like they're showing on the Instagram. And this is my hundreds maybe of trying using the Calligraphy pen. Well, continue to learn! :)
