Illustration is part of my motivation

How could I be so sure that illustration is part of my motivation? Even before entering college life, I have a little knowledge about illustration. Sometimes get a little misunderstood of it, while going through the path way, I get to know illustration is not what I think. Somehow, my perception of it get changes a lot and I started to search more and more unique illustration from the world. I open my mind up to receive incredible works from the industry, I could say that everything is possible if we keep the spirit of passion. However, I've been struggle with my own drawings or illustration because I couldn't get it right sometimes I think that I lack of skills. My lecturer mentioned before it takes years to really get the effect of what we want or I could say what it could really stand out in the industry. I remember when I was drawing or sketching for one of my project. I couldn't get the illustration right, slowly it drags my time and I get frustrated..if I can't get it right then I wouldn't be able to get things done properly. And that's the moment I've a thought of putting it aside BUT I research on different kind of illustrator's work they give me motivation or hope I guess. Which all things are possible, no matter how worst my work is I should continue to practice myself on drawing out the passion. It's tired and exhausted but stopping the progress ain't solve the problem. So far, every semester our lecturers have no problem with our submission..they have confident that we can handle with our workloads but the thing is the quality of our work need to improve a lot. I'm glad that my lecturer understand how we works thing out and continue to give us advise. Bless them all!






Anxiety: My Monster, My Self by Eleanor Davis






Eleanor Davis's illustrated comic: In our Eden


My current inspiration illustrators, Eleanor Davis is one of them. Lately, I found her updated work which take my breath. Her style looks clean, simple and easy but to do something like her takes a lot more passion.  Each of her character design gesture and silhouette brings out the aesthetic of humor. How the way she draw the line of the characters are flexible, free, curvy, organic. Personally, I would prefer those if to put things simple and I'm comfortable with drawing flexible lines too, now I'm training myself to illustrate more than before. Knowing that every illustrators draw forever in their life..never ending until they die.





Marta Dlugolecka's illustration on clay work: Perfect Man Guide




Public Peeping by Marta Dlugolecka


Marta Dlugolecka brings out different approach of illustration. Most of her works created by clay, and using her unique illustration skill to apply on the clay to create texture. Even characters that she build up, each of their face expression has the humor style. The most important part is photography, lighting as well could show the whole mood setting. Sometimes I thought it was hand drawn with some collage on paper but it's done by photography and Photoshop editing. Most probably I'll try to mold my own characters when I'm free, I can imagine it brings a lot of fun.
