illustrations done for a sticker book which will be published by Erlangga for Kids. well, since it will be a sticker book, you won't see what you see above in the real book. because they all are separated. the background and the sticker are not put together in the same page. so actually if you have the book, you will be free to put the stuffs anywhere you like. maybe i should post it when the book has been published but it means another 6-8 months and i just cant wait that long to share my work here :) i hope the kids will like it :)

the sketchbook project #1

pg. 1

pg. 2 - 3

pg. 3 - 4


so it's only yesterday that i started doing my sketchbook project. i had no idea at all what to sketch, to match the theme, so i spent too much time thinking. but then i think 5 minutes can be a short time, but it can be one nice short time too.. so i think about little nice things to do in 5 minutes :) i have another month and a half so i hope i can finish it on time :)

kelir - pirates

SEPTEMBER submission for KELIR.
monthly theme: pirates

"We Are Banana Hunters"
done in adobe illustrator cs 3 :) when the topic came out, what i had in mine was MONKEYS! random and weird but..voila, here they are :)

weekend project :)

mural painting!!! i was so excited when my dad n mom gave the permission to paint the back yard wall. actually i have another mural project for a children clothing store but since i've never done mural painting before i need to practice. so when i looked into the wide blank white wall, i got the idea! so the next day i grabbed my pencil and started drawing.

it's my first time so i did a lot of mistake. first i use a normal 2b pencil which is very wrong. the normal pencil leaves its mark even after i painted on it. so you still can see the grey line from afar which makes the painting not pretty. so i re-did that. i erased the pencil line and re-drew it with yellow pencil. it was such a waste of time, but it got better :) second, i don't use wall paint. i use aviant which is actually wood and iron paint. so it gives this shiny effect on the wall, it's kinda okay because it looks like a big sticker on the wall, but my uncle told me it'll be better and nicer if i use a normal wall paint. but well, this aviant paint is so much cheaper than the normal wall paint. never mind, i've got my lesson :)

it took me almost 3 days to finish, but not the kind of 3x24hours. i still got to do my daily activities, and sometimes the weather got too hot or it suddenly rains.. i thought it would be easy but turn out it's a bit complicated since i have no experience before. i don't even know the formula of combining the thinner into the paint, plus it took a lot of time to open the paint can. they all are so hard to be opened! i had to use a screwdriver.

what you see above has not 100% finished. i still haven't drawn the eyes and mouths and i still have other drawing to be painted. it's far-left from the sunflower, you can't see it on the pic. but i'm going to finish them all in this week. by the end of this week, everything will have been settled. promise :)

caroline the kind porcupine

yay! my third one :) this is an animal tales collection story book, there are 10 stories inside and i illustrated one of them, the story about caroline the kind porcupine. this time i worked with the author herself, Mrs. Arleen Amidjaja. She created all the 10 stories, imagine how creative she is!! I really thank her for the chance she gave me. And look, my illustration was chosen to be the cover! Yay! ;)
