turning current sketchbook into a tebabo #5

shape of things

After completing Anastasia Garuda #2 and OBL#5 zines ive been drawing a lot of places around KL,Ipoh,Kampar,Penang,Melaka etc especially old buildings. People and their surroundings.
Sometimes i'm struggling between realistic life drawings & simplistic caricatures. U_U'

OneBigLongkang #5 / Anastasia Garuda #2

Manage to finish both zines about the same time, coming out soon...

Info

Finally, its been printed and i got a copy during one of the historical time for transwomen community in this country in Seremban.
This flyer/pamphlet is for the outreach workers to be given to the transwomen/male/sex workers circle about their rights and how to handle the situation when facing the authority.

i think doodling is equally important as live drawing or any drawings that comes from a conscious mind. doodling is like tapping into the subconcsious or from a different dimension. live drawing or drawing from an idea is intentionally and doodling is unintentionally. equally important, equally pleasing & therapeutic. One of the workshop i did earlier this year with primary school kids, i told them to keep doodling & get use to expressing your inner desire & voice via doodling, it helps in translating the inner voice bring the formless,wordless intangible into physical, tangible to reality.  These are drawings that i did few years back, i was trying exploring this characters & stroke. I love distorted, non uniform yet simple 2 dimensional shapes. for me its very catchy & quite addictive to the eyes. if pair with simple bold lines, it makes a nice graphics like the Ramones music, simple, melodic-sing along 30 second songs, catchy, punchy as simple as 1,2,3,4.
