Disamping Mengupil, Jari Saya (Ternyata) Bisa Juga Menggambar!

Hobi saya mengupil pakai jempol. Menurut orang sih aneh, tapi saya malah jadi merasa bangga karenanya. Oh, saya pikir, ternyata cuma saya yang hobi mengupil pakai jempol. Disamping mengupil, ternyata saya punya satu hal lain yang bisa saya lakukan dengan tangan saya: menggambar. Dan saat ini, menggambar kembali ‘in’ di dalam kehidupan sok ‘nyeni’ saya, setelah begitu lama terlupakan.

Jujur saja, saya gak terlalu suka menggambar. Saya bisa menggambar atau membuat sketsa-sketsa kasar, namun saya sudah lama memilih untuk menuliskan segala macam hal yang sedang saya pikirkan, dibandingkan mengekspresikannya dalam bentuk gambar. Alasannya sih sederhana, saya lebih suka bermain dengan kata-kata, karena saya pikir bahasa bisa menumbuhkan imajinasi yang berbeda di pemikiran setiap orang.

Tapi, saya kadang merasa bahwa menulis saja gak cukup. Ada saat-saat dimana saya hendak menuliskan sesuatu, namun terlalu kompleks untuk diekspresikan dalam bentuk tulisan. Maka dari itulah, saya mengekspresikannya lewat gambar. Gambar-gambar saya bisa berbentuk apa saja, mulai dari gambar abstrak hingga realis.

Saya gak pernah merasa kalau hasil sketsa atau gambar yang saya hasilkan itu bagus, malah saya merasa kalau gambar-gambar saya masih terlalu kaku dan kasar. Tapi saya gak peduli dengan pendapat orang mengenai gambar-gambar saya, karena sampai saat ini saya menikmati setiap goresan pensil atau pena yang saya coretkan diatas kertas. Saya selalu merasa puas pada hasilnya, karena itu selalu bisa mewakili apa yang sedang saya lihat, rasakan, atau pikirkan kala itu.

Sekitar sebulan yang lalu Bobby menghadiahi (padahal saya sedang tidak berulang tahun) satu sketchbook ukuran A5 yang menurut saya, it’s too much for a beginner like me. Tapi Bobby terus-menerus mendorong saya untuk tetap menggambar, dan dia berkata kalau saya tidak perlu mengkhawatirkan hasil gambar saya sendiri. Dia pun beberapa kali mengatakan bahwa hasil gambar saya bagus sekali, but I think my drawings are not that ‘wow’, compared to his beautiful drawings (Bobby is a great drawer!). Berkat dukungan Bobby, dan sketchbook yang terlanjur ia beri pada saya, maka saya mau gak mau harus gambar lebih banyak lagi dari sebelumnya. Hahaha..

Go Sober, Make A Change!

Sometimes we misjudged of something or someone. Or worse, we misjudged of what we feel. Do you feel that you outrunning something to the wrong place but you pretending that are all okay? Let ‘em out of those current places, throw it up, scatter it off, and make it random! What you are supposed to do is making another infringement. Does the sick modernity successfully turn you into puppet? Who control your world? Ignorance? 

 Do random things toward random circumstances. The misjudgment is just like your panic attack. In the next moment you’ll sober and start to think what’s wrong and right. People do silly things, that’s why we have two hemispheres of brain, right and left, yeah, and two sides of behaviors, angelic and satanic! Am I right?
What I am going to say is about switching. You did something harmful and you enjoyed it. You did something good but you regretted it. Such circumstances you’ve been gotten in had turned you into something false. And all you do will always fake!

Project "X": Skull's Creation

Hooooola! We meet again! Yeah finally we made a progress towards our project-X that has been told before, you can check the tags, and click ‘project X’ if you haven’t read it.

Before I tell you about our progress, I want to introduce you the materials we use in this project. They’re quite simple and easy to find, and also affordable.
First, the most essential thing is WIRE. Bendable one!



Second, of course YARN. It is made of NYLON and POLYESTER. So sturdy!






Third, PLIERS. It is used to cut and bend the wire.



Fourth, CIGARETTE LIGHTER. It is used to burn the ends of bound yarns, to make it sturdier.

Fifth, of course SCISSORS. It is of course, to cut the yarn.



Sixth, ummmm.. I’m not going to tell you now. It’s just like surprise. It is used to cover this ‘thing’, to make it more ‘human’! :D
And there will be addition for materials that will be used, wait for that, will you?
And then…
On early days (we called it as #day4 and #day5), we finally made its skull! Thanks universe for making it smooth.
Bobby made it so detail! I mean, he already thought about how it lips’ curve, nose’s shape, cheek’s hollow, and everything! Can you imagine how you think about something complex before you get sleep? Yes, Bobby done it and proposed it to me on the later days.
I don’t know how to explain, but our baby boy now a bit has its shape. It’s likely as a man’s body and face, minus flesh and NAME. We haven’t found it yet, for universe’s sake. It’s always be something stressful but someday we know we’ll find out! :)
I don’t want to talk too much. You can see the result right on below.




  We do binding the yarns in every spots and intersections as usual; in day 4 and day 5 we were better in doing this. Haha!
 
 
  •   In day 4, this is how the skull looks like. It already shaped. Rawwwwrr!
 
  •   And this is me! I tried to measure the brain pan’s curve. Yes, smile first! xD
 
  • Bobby is showing his work.
  • Bobby is denting the the wire.

 Voila!!! The result of day 5, this is it! (Farah Quinn’s voice)
 
KISS!!! :* :* :* 
 
AAAAAAA~ We just can’t wait for the next day to create its arms and fingers! Totally can’t wait but we have to wait (unfortunately), because I have to go back to Sukabumi. Mommy will miss you, my (unnamed) baby boy! *smooch*

Which One is Real?

related to my previous post ( this one ), I just want to ask your opinion about these two different pics.
do you think that they're similar person?
