In Joe Murray's book Creating Animated Cartoons with Character: A Guide to Developing and Producing Your Own Series for TV, the Web, and Short Film Chapter 11 Making A difference :How to work in TV without losing your soul,he emphasis on helping other who are not fortunate as you,That's what happen to me,I was helping my church youth group in some outreach programs and at the same thing got some ideas,It's seriously important to get out from yr computer and help the people around you.And it also shows that u have life beyond animation or whatever art filed you are.


BTW this book is really good for those who wanna to go to animation,Joe Murray's advice is really helpful and give a reality-check on the animation business :D

It's a seriously long time I do a Beatles work,It's great to do it again :)

Rockabilly Christmas Post

Here is my entry for fashion illustrators Monthly theme challenge which is became a must to do ever since I join their group(I decided for the sake of myself,I do the monthly theme that catch my eye),This December theme is Rockabilly which is an awesome theme and one of my favorite styles.
I did the Corel Painter version which ended up looking horrible ;_;(Cuz of the sizing issues) and also understand why digital painters use both Photoshop and Painter because of this
I decided to redo it again with better coloring and a little TLC on my rockabilly cookies for this holiday season

Advice I got

I receive an amazing talk from not an animator but a fashion designer/fine artist on 6 Octobor 2011 which I also got a briefing on my volunteering =D

Robert Cary Williams
That's him XD


Here are some advice from him to any artist besides fashion designers
Sketching is important
Sketchbook is a key to put your ideas on,Without it your ideas are lost forever(that's what he said),It's also important for your work
Pick up ideas from everywhere you see
Remember to write/draw your idea out (Also you take a picture or video camera it)
Apologises for my animation counterparts on this part here
Raise above criticisms on your work and it's not about you all the time
Go Back To Basics On Your Work
Make it personal
Develop your taste and follow your interest

Hope this will help you on your work :D

Here is one of them




The shows I use for this sketch
Too Cute! Puppies and Kittens
Must Love Cats-The Kitten Room (Second Episode)
If you can't to go to the zoo,Use Nature Shows like Animal Planet to draw some animals,There is a variety to choose
Other tips on Art on The Budget for me and any artist on a budget

  • Get your school oil pastels instead of the normal pastels
  • Get the card from your local art shop bonus if you got a pass
  • Use the library for your books instead of buying
  • Internet is your best bet,Tumblr is the best material for everything u want ;)
  • Buy cheaper materials that have quality to it
  • Buy Lifetime materials like sketchbooks

Canvas Piece

I want to share my "Through The Looking Glass" project,It's an inserting thing that my school assignment ended up being the most fun among all the art stuff I did,I first create a mind map on the topic suddenly it went pretty instant since I have 2 internet usernames on deviant and Tumblr reperesctive ;),I want to do all mind maps and stuff,There are some days I ended running out of my acrylic paints cuz of this work,The mock-up is a bit ugly thankfully I changed it for the better and Rashid really like it,he want me to do the impasto thing for my final(Unfortunately it did not work as well) but I get the effect I want.One of my deviantart friends really like it,I got an overload of references to the point it clogged my iPhone and itouch XD (Which is good also),Future artists,it's a must to get references as my assignment says don't draw from imagination on a certain object (That's what I remember),With iPhone and itouch it's no excuse on saving images and gd references
