Guitar Guy

I called this "Guitar Guy", a middle-aged man playing acoustic guitar. I sketched this using my brand new STANDARD Lexion ballpoint pen. Worked on a A5 sketching paper.

This is the first time i published my ink drawings. And i know it still looked not so great. You can see it on his face, there's no meaningful emotion on it. And the strokes all over his body  not so perfect. 

Well, i just love this scene and i think someone should know this artwork. (Do you agree i call this art work?) Haha.

I think i missing my guitar. Anyway, any comment of this work? Just write them down, guys.

Cheers :)

Falling Evening

A scene on a bridge of busway shelter in Cawang, East Jakarta. The sun falling down behind the row of giant buildings.
Saturday evening in Jakarta, slightly different with ordinary days.
Rapid traffic beneath the beautiful sky.

Pencak Silat, The Truly Indonesia

Pencak Silat, the original martial art from Indonesia.

The ancestors of Indonesian created a form of defense technique of their family and group against the wild of nature. They composed a martial art style which reflecting animals manner like monkey, tiger, snake or eagle.

The spreading of silat in early age still unknown clearly. Maybe started since 700 AD, when major kingdomat that era  like Sriwijaya or Majapahit. It mentioned, they once have a great era of silat warriors.

I dedicate this sketch for my brother Bayu, he admiring martial arts for entire of his life. He loves to watching kung fu movie, he once bought some books about shaolin kungfu in childhood.

And of course, he is a silat warrior now. 

The Sinking Of Audio Compact Disc Era

Yes, it was last night when i visited a mall in Bekasi, West Java.

I passed a music store when looking for some sketching pencils at Gramedia (one of major bookstore and publisher in Indonesia).

So pity, there was no customer there, the music store empty at all. Even i didn't seen the cashier. Haha.

Rising of digital era, ease the way to download music anywhere, anytime.

And the most important is freely.

Music piracy or whatever it named, surely it's a form of robbery for musician. They hard works are in vain.

Anyway, i confess that sometimes i still download mp3 from 4shared or rapidlibrary.

How about you?

Holy Friday

Every friday noon we spare a time to praying together here in this mushola.

In Indonesia well known as sholat Jumat, or maybe Friday prayer in English.

Traditional Jamu

I captured this picture this evening at my office neighborbood, few minutes before i go home.

I never been find a tradional jamu seller since i working here.

The next door neighbor bought a little glass of jamu. I don't really know if she was sick or just taking that to make her body feel better.

Jamu is a natural herbal remedy drinks and traditionally formulated, which is native to Indonesia. Having many different types with its own benefits.

Special Blend o' Mine

Special coffee cream for accompanying me tonight, working another sketches. Or maybe posting for my old  blogs.

I love coffee.

Actually i prefer to original coffee than any mix.

But i thinking the different thing when i visited the mart this evening.

I just smoothly passed their row. Then picked one of them randomly. A medium jar of non dairy creamer.

Yes. I found my other favourite.

Double cream.

Room

This is my earlier sketch. My mate want to buy a big black chair, which can unfold into a bed.
With a large green carpet on the floor.
Big and furry. Cozy

Flying Eagle

This is the first time i publish my pencil sketch drawing to a blog. Well, i not so sure this will be so good on it. Haha. 

This sketch entitled "Flying Eagle", i worked it last night. Need 3 hours to finished it, and i think i need more exercises for drawing. I'm not satisfied with this result, because i think this is still looked unnatural. It's feathers, shape, the lines, shades.. everything in this drawing still awkward. I need more exercise.

Anyway, i'm pretty dare to publish it on this post :D

This worked on a A3-150 GR sketch paper, uses Faber Castel 4B and Derwent charcoal Pencil. Scanned by CANON M250 printer scanner.

Breakfast at Wempy Noodles

I don't really know his name, but everybody calling him 'Wempy'.

"Wempy, here's the money"
"Wempy, i need more chilli"
"Wempy, quickly Wempy!"

Waiting too long for a bowl of noodle. Huff, nothing special.

For 30 minutes waiting.

Betting

Anytime anywhere.

Not like usual my boss leave the office so early like today. Moreover in the weekend like now.

Surely that cheer us up. Haha, at once my friends arranged a position, take the cards..

..and here's the game starting.

Little Spot at Dusk

The scene that captured on the roof of my office yesterday.

After 10 months after i occupying the new office, this was the first time i see the place.

I don't really know, why my boss keep the key of roof's door so tight.

There's nothing interesting for me (but this evening scene).

Maghrib at Al Azhar

The first time i visit the mosque of Al Azhar in west Bekasi, it was last evening when i went to the mall with my fiance. We spared a time to the place for praying.
When i entered the building, my eyes just caught up in this stage.
This is the place for imam when giving a lecture in Friday's khutbah.
In Indonesia this is called mimbar.

Work After Ied

Here's some gift from our office partner. Sweet cookies, added with a glass of hot chocolate milk.
Hmm, super afternoon.

On My Way Home (2)

It was in some crossroad of Ngawi, East Java. A morning in the Ied Mubarak. Three days ago.
I just realized that pedicab driver in the city applies motoric machine in their vehicles.
So creative, not like ordinary pedicab i've been seen which uses pedal like bicycle.
Haha. I think i should visit my home more frequently. There's so many interesting stuff along my way home.

On My Way Home

Annual tradition on the last days of Ramadhan. To welcome Idul Fitri in Indonesia.
Mudik
This scene were captured some hours ago. Somewhere in the middle Jatisari road of Karawang District, West Java.
Its over crowded vehicles make motorbikers cross the highway separator and ride through the opposite direction.
Indeed. Indonesia have a really bad transportation management.
Blame it to my mouth, until you feel it by yourself.
I've been put my butt on the bus seat, over than 20 hours since yesterday at noon.
And i still in the same district until this morning.

While Working At The Office

One of my favourites, another activity that i love while i'm working at my office is this thing.
Laundry.
I working in a kitchen and sanitary electronic producer. Well known (enough) company in my country. It also have customer service departement in every branches.
And my office is one of the best on its services. With so many unit traffic that have to be repaired in every single day.
Then. After my technicians fix it, surely it must a proper test for this washing machine before return it back to the customer.
And of course, my T-shirts and jeans will always glad to help them, whenever they need.
Office working with another benefit.

Sandal For Computer Freak

This is my keyboard sandal. Pretty unique isn't it?
Don't address yourself as hacker or computer freak before this hardware plugged into your feet.
Haha.

Somekind of cactus (or what?)

I have a little indoor plant, i think it's a cactus coz when i bought it, its lined within cactus row.
I put it on my shirt cupboard in my room.
Badly, the plant is fading, turns into grey and its leaves falling down.
I dont really know how to treat it properly. As i know, i just water it once in a week. Surely its because (i think) a desert plant. No need a lot of water.
But just look at it
Does anyone know, how should i take care of it?
