I’m sorry that I’m not posting here like usual. Well, first there was home reconstruction. I lost my spot. Second, I have no internet access for a while. It sucks. Yes, it really is.

 However, it’s not like I abandoned the challenge, I’m still on it. And, I’m happy to say that I’m able to finish it. So, instead posting one by one, I’m posting the rest here for convenience.

Day 24: A Childhood Memory



Alfred and Marl, the OCs from my childhood story.




Day 25: Waterfall





This is the first time I am making this scenery. It has a calming atmosphere.
When making this. I used the tutorial that provided here.



Day 26: Rightswept

Since kindergarten my hair style always like this. It was right swept.

I don’t have problem with others who used the same style, but I can’t stand myself to have the same hairstyle every time. My forehead is quite large like Sakura Haruno. So, I decided to have a messy hair, although Mum’s not agree, but it looks good on me.





Day 27: It’s Her



She never get out from my mind.
It is love? It is crush?
I don’t know.
But, I want to know her more.






Day 28: Dreams Come True





Dreams come true.






Day 29: Lawang Sewu

Lawang Sewu or ‘Thousand Doors’. I already had a plan and discussed this with the entire family to go there next year. It’s another historical place that I want to visit. However, the exact date is still unknown. Can’t wait to go there.







Day 30: A New Beginning

Congratulations, myself. I’m finally able to conquer myself to finish another challenge! Through this challenge, I tried something new that I never try before and realize it’s still a long way to go to improve. Welp, each person has different pace anyway.

Someday, if I had more time, I would like to color them all. But, for now it’s just as it is.
Also, thank you to you all as visitor to my place. A frequent visitor or just someone who just pass by here. Thank you for your time.

I am somewhat lack will if I started to dislike something and lost will if I loathe something. I need determination to overcome that. Well, determination that can be applied in other things too.
I used to be naïve. Now, I lost it.

As I grow up. I learned the hard ways from experiences.

The world is not like what it seems.

Not everyone has the same perception like we do.

Not everything is black and white like what we taught.

We lived in the world where things are being loved and people being used. And, there are evils lurking outside.

We lived in the world where people often being misunderstood. There were reasons behind of what they do and nowadays one mistake, most people judge define their life forever and put label easily instead tried to understand their situation.
I miss those days, as a child, when I saw the world differently. When even just little things that could make us and others smile. The times when we argue with someone, then an hour later, we even forget that we fight and play again together as friend.

That concludes about something you miss.

Talking about innocence, D-Gray Man will get a new TV anime that will be airing in 2016. Woo! 
I have an art block whilst doing today’s challenge. I want to draw something like ‘I want you’, then put some letters on the background. However, sometimes what I imagine about the concept and realization often didn’t match especially with the lacking skill.

So, as the result it came this way:

Kind of reminds me of the first time I tried digital.
Hmm. Maybe, it’s because other factor too. Today house is under reconstruction, so I am drawing not in the usual place like I used to. Sadly, I have to surrender ‘my spot’ for several days until the reconstruction finished.  
Something orange, huh? That reminds me about Yellow Topaz or Imperial Topaz that I lay my eyes on last year at Bali. However, due to indecision about which gem that I should buy, the time when I got back in the next day, the gem already sold out.


This is my first time did coloring like this. It would be neat if I know coloring using Photoshop, but I’m still comfortable with Paint.NET and it’s hard for me to move on. Sadly, it’s more like a golden egg instead a gemstone. 
Honestly, when it comes to this challenge. I only could think about this one. 

Heart, ribbon, band-aid and modified wings.

I guess this is what I felt subconsciously. It could be interpreted in many ways. But, the best thing that describe this one is about being free. 

“The heart has its reasons which reason knows not.” -  Blaise Pascal
“And now here is my secret, a very simple secret: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.” - Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

 As for the title, it was based on Bob Marley's quote, but without the love word. And, the writing put inside about the quotes that I love. 

I used to be that person.
And, the result is: being used, manipulated, betrayed and treated like an option.
Until I realize that everyone is different. Not everyone has the same perception like I do.
I’m done.
Yes, I’m done.
Nope.
I’m not going that route anymore.
I’m still being the same person. However, now, it depends.
I’m still myself, but I’m not the same person anymore. 
My favorite plant is white rose.

When I worked on this, I had difficulty when it comes to coloring. 

I want to post as it is. 
I want to make it plain and simple. 
I want to color like the exact flower, but I don't have that skill yet. 
I want to make this to something different. 

Welp. 

So, I decided, “Why don't you just post them all?”

Problem solved.

Talking about inspiration. The one thing that pop out was toilet. Yea, that’s a little odd while others have something different that is more common. Occasionally, I got inspiration for simply being there. Inspirations just flowing when I’m not thinking at all. So, who is with me?

For today’s challenge, I used the photo that was taken from the last outing. Different thing with today drawing is I used a wee bit of imagination. You can see about things that not exist, unless someone is cosplaying.

And, I suddenly remember when the coloring process nearly done. There are things that don’t quite fit. It is quite embarrassing. Welp, in that case I overlook this matter and continue coloring and doing my best to finish this challenge.

If I were myself years ago, I will redo the challenge until I get the result that I wanted to. Honestly, I don't think I could finish this challenge when I do that. 
Drawing this while listens to "You're Nobody Till Someone Loves You".
This is my favorite fairy-tale. Can you guess?


P.S: I already had something in my mind about day 15 thumbnail picture. Starting from today. However, I realize that I am still a rigid person. So, in order to make things interesting while I am learning to be flexible, I made my decision. I will use another approach.

This comic based on old story that I made several years ago. 

I admit that even simple coloring took time to finish this one. 
Hmm. I am seldom talking about self or my recent accomplishment. It is not like I don’t have anything to be proud of. No. I just don’t want to brag. I’m the kind of person who hate that. When there is a social gathering where others brag about their possession. Especially when they start to compare themselves to others, I usually get out from there.

That is so different from my (close) friends who love to tell about their accomplishment to their colleague. I’m not bothered at all. Maybe, it is just me or it comes back again to a matter of perspective or it is related something that related to my past?

Oh. And, I just got recovered from flu. These days, I got sick. I don’t like being sick. I learned that overdo anything is not good. Now, back to the challenge:

There is list of habits that I want to change that created since last month. And, I’m happy to know that I can be consistent if I wanted to.

I still enjoy this challenge. Even, sometimes I think that I could better than this. However, sometimes being kind to self is also important. I wouldn’t be sick at the first place if I aware about body’s rebellion.  

Through prior experiences, I learned that not everyone is bad and not everyone is good either. It is always a gray zone, instead between black and white. Not everything looks like as it seems.

If I care enough without being judgmental there were stories behind them which make them into people that I know now. They have been through the battles that I know nothing about. 

I also learned even some decisions that look like good things actually can lead into bad ones and otherwise.


Reminds me to be wise and careful about my decisions. 

I’m a simple man. I see foods, I like it.

Honestly, when it comes to candy I don’t have any favorites. However, that because I rarely eat candy. Since, I had last toothache, then sweets no more.

So, in order to complete today’s challenge. I drew this:

Haw flakes already out even when mum still a kid and this candy is still around. It tastes sweet, but a little sour.

Rugrats, but never All-Grown Up.

I love the interactions among the babies. They are living in a world of imagination, life seems like a blast through their eyes. Every day just like an adventure even there is Angelica there to ruin the days, but it’s still fun.  

Miss that day, miss those moments. 

Due to time efficiency, I only drew Belle alone. Belle is one of my favorite animated characters. I chose Belle because she's odd. She is brave. She is able to stand out for doing something that she loves. She has an open mind and able to see the good in everyone.

NO, because I used to be that person who always says YES. Sometimes, I need to prioritize myself first before others.

Doing coloring took time than I imagined. Sadly, no color this time. I remember that one purpose doing this challenge is to improve my drawing and relive drawing interest. I feel discouraged because I felt like there is no improvement and that made my interest through drawing slowly diminishing.  

My sis told me that improvements also need time. So, okay. Start with the basic again. Keep the fire on! Fight.  

Takeo Ōmori from Kobo-chan or Kobo, the Lil’ rascal. A manga that created by Masashi Ueda. I’ve been reading Kobo-chan since I was a child. He firstly introduced in volume 12 as Kobo’s uncle. He is Yamakawa Iwao’s nephew and Tabata Sanae’s cousin.

Takeo is a middle school teacher. He is a big man who knows Judo (he has a black belt and rank three in Judo), Rugby and loves hiking. As a person he can be a little clumsy, a bit childish, but he had strong sense of justice and dependable as a person. He is also an easy target for his students’ mischief.

He had crush to his fellow teacher, Sakiko Hanada. And, through his efforts, now Sakiko Hanada is become his wife.

Manual drawing and coloring using Paint.NET. Although the style is simple, but it hard for me to imitate. 

I couldn't help myself, but drew them both. 

These two are my family. Left side is my father when he was younger (yep, he had that hairstyle in 80s) and the right one is my sister. My sister inherited most of father’s traits while I am otherwise. I’m using red eyes to be consistent with drawing that I made in day one challenge.
