Be grateful, Be Thankful

Hi, everyone!

many weeks ago, when I was at Surabaya, I was enjoying my morning in my room when I got an idea.
I did a flashback to the past, to what I had in 2014 (oh, btw, it was still 2014 back then). Wondering, how lot of things happened and surprisingly, I'm still alive.

Doesn't mean I was perfectly perfect without any flaws. I did. I found my heart broken into pieces. But, I realized the storms, jabs, wounds and pains are what makes me who I am.

Beside all the painful things, The most important things that makes me stand still was everyone around me, who supported me and held my hands through the circumstances.

So, this is what I drew to show how grateful I am.

2014 wasn't easy at all. But it was great, too.

Say thank You, be grateful for everything that He put in our life.

Life's a battlefield and we were born to win it! :)

New style

Huahh.. almost year already since the last time I updated my blog?
Really can't believe that!

Didn't update my blog doesn't mean I stop drawing. I did and I'm still.
But, I really have no mood to update my blog (ya, ya, mu bad :p)

So, let me share many of my latest drawings today!

The hard time that I faced lately bring me to another style of drawing. I never used this kind of style before. I was more to fashion illustration with long-in-everything kind of body parts. long hands, long legs, long torso. But, one day I was thinking about made illustration to show my feeling. 

Actually, I got the basic few months before when I drew for my ex (ouch).

The illustration that I drew for my ex that is my bestie now. Well, let's keep it as memory :)

And, so, at my escape to Surabaya, I was drown in good vibes that I had in my auntie's home. I was so productive. And I could draw 2 sketches in a day (I only drew in morning too afternoon).

I'm Ed Sheeran's big fans! I listen to his song(s) at least once/ day. And photograph is one of my favorites. So true, that keeping something in photograph is a way to make things endless. I realize, people change, time goes on, but memories that kept in the photographs will never fade.

Photograph - Ed Sheeran

Me myself, is a girl who really loves to show my feeling. Everyone can see clearly how expressive I am.
Because, I feel overwhelmed by the love that pours on me by everyone around me. So, I really want to make the ones I love feel the same. Spread the love!

Why waste this life not loving?

Well, three are enough for today. Going to share the others with you by tomorrow. Thank you! :)

Breathing

Hi all!!

How are you? Have a good day?

Lately, I had many holidays because of flood that happened at Jakarta.

But, thank God, nothing bad happened. 

I drew this picture when I got spare times.

To be honest, it's kinda hard to maintain my good mood to draw. The mood come and go, yeah, I'm a moody person. hahah..

Anyway, please check my new sketch.

 I use 2B for the basic, 5B, 7B and 8B for the darker shade.

How do you think?

I've tried to make it smoother than before. good enough?

First drawing of 2014

Hi all!

So, today I want to upload my latest sketch. This is my first sketch in 2014 and need many days to finish it because of my job as designer is getting busier. anyway, I tried to put more shade and less white area.

Still trying to make smoother stroke and more gradation.

The whole look.

As you see, the cheek bone area isn't smooth. Have tried to make it smoother, but...... failed. Hahaha..

my favorite area, I don't know how could I made the hair much smoother than other areas.

Well, do you have any questions or advises? feel free to put comment below :)

2014

Happy New Year! 

Hope you all have a super year!

Been quite long since the last time I updated my blog. Sorry for that, though I still drawing, but I usually forget to update my blog.

So, I will upload many of the drawings I made. Hope you enjoy! :)

Always wanted to draw a girl with red lipstick and finally, I did. But, I realized, the proportion isn't good. haha..

Drew it when I was facing hard days

Drew it when I was facing hard days. well, a proof that even bad things can inspiring you. About the words I wrote there, it's Johnny Depp's quote. so inspiring, and I agree with him. Though, I'm grateful for the heartaches that I felt, i believe and I know, they made me understand and see the life in different and better ways.

Merry Christmas!!

I know, it's quiet too late to greeting merry Christmas, moreover to upload a drawing with Christmas theme. hahaha.. however, I just want you to enjoy my drawings ;)

Well, I usually upload my drawings on instagram, right after I finished them. So, please follow my instagram @chyntialiem and find me there :)

Not Cara at all

Hello!

I'm still crazy in love with pencil illustration. So, I browsed for something to draw and got Cara Delevingne cool pose with her beautiful hair.

Cara, everyone's favorite

So, I took my pencil and made the sketch.

But...pardon me, I'm still not good at making it look exactly the same.

So, here is the girl with same pose but it's not Cara at all.

How do you think? :)

Pencil Sketching

Three weeks ago, I drew a girl with messy hair and a bow tie pinned on her collar. I was inspired by a model that I saw on Fashion TV.

Then I realized, the lips are not balanced. hahaha..

I meant to draw this one with red lipstick. But, I couldn't find any red color pencils, so I was just hatching it by my carbon pencil.

I put some color on the skin and hair shade, actually. But, the colors aren't really come out in this picture.

This last one, I meant to draw someone (can you guess?), but I think I'm failed. It doesn't look like her. hahaha..

Hope you enjoy! and please, kindly give me some advice :)
