Drawing

Assalamualaikum n good day to yall.



When i was a young cute little kid (lol), I remembered how I’ve always love to draw. My grandparents and my parents had always known that I’m fond to color pencils and plain white papers. At that time, those were my good buddies. Among my siblings, we used to play “who-draws-the-best” game and the judge would be Mama.


Each time after we all had finished expressing our arts aggressively on the paper, then we’d ask:

Us : “Mama, mama… who draws better?” 
Mama : "Mestilah dua-dua lukis cantik…”
 Dengan nada tak puas hatinya, we all asked again

Us: "So who’s the winner?”


 Mom was hesitating to answer as she knows that if she answers that, one of her children will go chaotic. Almaklum takleh terima kenyataan. . I was around 5 years old at that time. Kakakaka. Setelah di asak dan di paksa untuk membuat keputusan, maka si ibu pun menjawab dengan ikhlas:

Mama: "Mastura lah..." 

and then as predicted, the other one started to question why why why and started to argue. Then Mama mengalah,

 Mama: “oklah oklah.. awak lah pemenang..”
maka si anak pun pergi dengan hati yg riang.

 But then right after, Mama silently whispered to me...

Mama: “Mastura punye lukisan lagi cantik, tapi kasi la dia menang, kang menangis pulak”
saya pun terima dengan hati terbuka.. haha.

Mama has always tried to menjaga hati semua anak2 dia.


Up to now, whenever my little sister is going to seat for Matapelajaran Seni examination, she will always ask for my opinion and requested to show her some demo. I feel so berguna to my adik2. Lol. I know they can’t deny my drawing skills, although i know, u can still consider mine as amature/noob ones.


So then I grew up loving matapelajaran seni and i remembered how I’ve never missed that class for even once, I super enjoyed it. During school days, I was selected to participate in a few poster competitions, but I’ve never won. LOL! Hahahaha. And so I wondered, “tak cantik ke saya lukis? Tapi kenapa kawan2 selalu memuji? Maw ambil hati kah?” Maka tidak kisah lah saya, dan saya terus melukis. During my high school years, I used to draw cartoon in Manga style and then I’d compiled it into one folder, carrying it around everywhere I go. I have ALWAYS loved to draw.


But ever since I got into university, studying science subjects, I’ve completely forgot about that drawing skill of mine. I focused more on piano, one thing that I most favor currently, because I know, it’s hard to develop/repair my drawing a step further, cause I had tried once and it just won’t work. The position of my cartoon characters is always of standing straight, no any others. So I gave up.


Today, I just realized. After I had tried using wacom bamboo pen, and after I had witnessed some of Khairanni’s gracious drawing, suddenly I begin to miss it. I really do. I really miss my drawings. I miss the pain of sitting hours of hours focusing to finish it. Sometimes i just don't sleep because it was so engaging. Using bamboo pen is a thing so different. It’s such a surprise to realize that mixing colors could be so easy and the outcome can be so beautiful by just using it. Thanks to some of Khairanni’s tutorials and tips and also, thanks for letting me borrow your bamboo pen. It really helps me a lot. This nostalgic feeling just came to me, i once love to draw VERY MUCH. Now I’m planning to restart again.

Minta maaf atas segala apa salah saya. Have a good day~
