Hi! It’s been awhile!

My country banned Tumblr a few years ago and so I haven’t post anything since then. Recently I discovered they have removed the ban and I can access Tumblr again.

I will try to post some of my artwork regularly to catch up with you all.

Cheers.

Finished! Here’s a cropped photo of the finished 11x17” watercolor painting. This is going to be the cover of my next work with @richquizzle .

Work in progress🚧. I still need one more day to work on this piece. Keep saying to myself, ‘trust the system’ to get through the “ugly stage” of watercoloring. I may delete this post once I’ve finished the actual piece. #watercolor #ink #inking #watercoloring #draw #drawing #wip #art #artsy #instaart #comics #comicbook #makecomics #indie #komik #komikus #catair (at Pasar Santa)

So go to #Kickstarter , look up #SpiritDrifters or Rick Quinn, and pledge today!

Before the characters can come alive inside the readers’ head, I have to make sure they are alive inside mine. #study #face #loomis #draw #drawing #fromimagination #comics #comicart #art #artist #instaart #ink #cafesketching #komik #komikus #indie #characterdesign (at Pondok Indah Mall)

Pushing through an art block; I don’t know if I’m overthinking art again or I’m just tired or the forge is cold and I need more warm ups. Either way, I’m pushing it through by having fun doing watercolor portrait using comparative measurement of a beautiful K-Pop artist that I don’t even know who. If you know her, please let me know on the comment section 😘 #watercolor #artblock #practice #warmup #painting #portrait #beautiful #kpop #art #artsy #artist #draw #drawing #komik #komikus

I just cleaned up my studio yesterday and I found these gems in a stack of art prints and unopened books! Apparently I’ve been busy and haven’t had the time to open the packaging. Thank you, @ashionglee , for the amazing original art. This was my first original painting I’ve ever received and it’s beautiful! Sorry took me awhile to open this. #original #art #artsy #watercolor #dragon #instaart #draw #drawing #painting #cutecreature #komik #komikus

BOOM! Totally mindblowing! Everytime I turn on my Instagram and see your wonderful artwork, I just like... ugh, will I ever get there? Alright, enough self-pity. Deadline deadline deadline... #draw #drawing #makecomics #art #artsy #instaart #comicart #ink #inking #wip #komik #komikus

I don’t know if I ever get there, but the journey in and of itself is worth having. #mastery #draw #drawing #art #artist #comicbook #ink #inking #preview #indie #instaart #komik #komikus
