Thanks, man. I should be doing this long time ago. I regret waste few years not chasing drawing what I like.

To be continued
You're drawings have so much character! I think they look great. They look very lively, almost ripe for animation. I do, however, think you should be giving them some more value/shading, more colour and depth. I think it would really bring out their personalities!

Beautiful line work and expression is happening here!

Thanks, Damien. Really appreciate for the comment :)

Yea, this is very good advice. I wanted slowly building up to go for value and shading when doing sketch. It just sometimes making construction already make my brain so exhausted, at least for me. I hope I can eventually getting more used to put more information like value and shading in one go.

Some of them still feel rush But at least I have fun and learned a lot by doing these. I hope I can achieve better result on next inktober :)
A bit more overlap in your work to create depth wouldn't hurt to much for example in the piece with the flying food.
Do you follow Lackadaisy at all? I feel like you'd appreciate the vintage patina of their characters and the costume design.

I completely forgot to make some overlap and scale to make more depth. I'll try to fix it later. Thank you for this :)

Oh yes, I even read her all webcomic from beginning to latest haha. I really admire the world 20th century style, the character building and a bit dark tone setting. Very inspiring to see her works. I can't wait to see her animation project comes to live.
Wonderful updates! You're style is really unique and the expressions of your characters are very well done as always, very animated and lively. Keep it up!

Loving your cartoony images. Such a breath of fresh air from all the demons, wizards, and death and destruction that fills art sites these days.

Glad your finding that voice and keep 'em coming!

Thank you, Jephyr. Really appreciate the comment.


I learned my lesson which I should pursuit what I like to draw then expand it from there, not the other way around (Wasted like 8 years to realise this). I hope I can improve with better interpretation for my art. Right now, I still push myself for thinking of story behind my drawing which I really lacking due too many years, I just paint what people told me  Sad
Happy New Year 2023 everyone. Let's keep moving forward  Thumbs_up

Updated from February to March 2023

There are many things happen lately. Some good, some bad. One of the bad that I got knee back pain suddenly. I don't know how but my guess is probably sitting too long and aging factor? Took me like 2 months (starting on January) for getting recover. That cause my drawing activity become less because I need to move around every 20 or 30 minutes or my knee back become stiff. Gladly I got better after having myself rest and do some light exercise. This make me realize I need to schedule my healthy activity too. Anyway, enough for the ranting haha

Planning to narrow my focus to one goal from now on. I just love doing character with expression. That's one thing I wanted to focus and hopefully I can cooperate them with my painting experience to give more emotion.
