Warna-warni atau hitam-putih?

As you can see from my previous post, I masih lagi gile men-doodle. Really, uol patut cuba try test tengok... sangat meralitkan dan menenangkan fikiran. I love it so much that I siap beli berbatang-batang pen Sharpie berbagai warna. Nak try jugak lah buat doodle versi warna-warni. Dah kebetulan pun I suka mewarna. Bukan budak2 je suka mewarna uols... orang tua pun ramai yang dah pick-up this hobby. Kalau tak caya, cuba gugel "printable coloring pages for adults". Haaa... macam2 corak design ada. Print je, pastu kaler lah sepuas hati. Free je, takyah buang2 duit beli buku bagai.

Sepatutnya hari Ahad begini, selalunya iols akan keluar dengan suami dan anak2 sama ada jalan2 mall ataupun tengok wayang. Tapi dah pulak yang no. 3 dan yang bongsu masih belum sihat dari batuk dan selsema. Dan memandangkan jerebu dah menular semula, maka memerap di rumah je lah hujung minggu kali ni.

Kebetulan pulak hari ni I boleh curi tulang takyah masak memandangkan lauk sambal ikan bilis petai semalam masih banyak lagi. Sup ayam yang mak I buat pun ada lagi. Haish! Bagai orang mengantuk disorongkan bantal lah I... terus I capai sketchbook dan startlah mendoodle. Hari ni doodle gambar pokok plak lah.

Bila dah siap, I rasa macam I dah ter-carried away with the coloring lah. Macam over je nampak. Rasa nyesal la pulak. Benda bukan boleh padam. Rasanya hitam-putih jugak yang sesuai kan?

Anyway, no sweat. Kalau suka hitam-putih, kita convert je lah ke hitam-putih, kan boleh? Hahaha! Itulah kelebihannya zaman digital ni... Ni ha yang dah convert. Lagi cantik dari yang warna-warni, setuju tak?

Apa2 pun I tetap puas hati, not because lukisan ni cantik sebab rasanya hasil kerja I belum layak nak masuk kategori cantik. Tapi puas hati sebab I mampu siapkan dan I rasa macam berjaya accomplish sesuatu hehehe. 

I sempat juga share hasil2 kerja I di FB tunjuk kat kawan2. Kawan2 I ni memang ramai yang pelik2, tapi ada sorang ni memang extra pelik. Daytime dia keje pejabat, night time die keje troll orang. Tak caya... ni ha tengok dia troll my drawings...

Hahaha lawak kan? Biaq pi la masing2 kreatip cara masing2.

Cheers!

Gimme a pen and a piece of paper...

So I've been bitten by this new craze these past few days... doodling! 

I've always been one who loves to write and scribble whenever I get a hold of a pen and paper. Nothing in particular, just lines and curves, squiggles and circles and lots of meaningless sentences. I'd write quotes or song lyrics, and then move on to practising my signature and then moving on to whatever else comes to mind. Just to while away the time to ease boredom. Or, in the case of being in a public place, to distract myself from the anxiety of agoraphobia.

And then one day, I came across some beautiful doodle artworks online and thought hey... this ought to be fun. I mean, all it takes is a black pen (I use the twin tip sharpie) and paper. There is no need to draw a rough sketch. All you have to do is start and expand from there. It doesn't have to have a theme, doesn't have to mean anything, doesn't have to look like anything... heck! Just fire away! 

Gile senang kan?

It's what I've been doing anyway. Just not in an organised manner lah.

Doodling is pretty easy and straightforward. You can doodle anything, in any which way. Zentangling, on the other hand, is a little more organised and has some criterias to it. Read more about it here.

As far as I'm concerned, lantaklah doodle or zentangle, I'll do either one, or both if I want to. After all, the main purpose is for my own relaxation.

Here's the result of my first attempt... serabut kan? Hahaha! But let me tell you this, as far as relaxation is concerned, for me, this activity hits the spot. It works for me.

And today, I gave it another go while waiting for my turn at the doctor's clinic. Nombor giliran I 19, nombor sedang dilayan, 8... bayangkan berapa lama nak tunggu tu? Thank God I brought this with me and this is the outcome of my second attempt.

Just fyi, both of the above works are not finished work. I got sleepy with the first one (it was almost midnight at the time, gigih tak I melukis?) and my turn came up with the second one. They will most probably not be completed ever. Hahaha!

And tonight, I think I have gotten a little addicted and made another one. This one, I initially intended to stick to the Zentangle concept but the lack of ideas (almaklum, amatur... bukan kreatip sangat pun heheh) led me to later encroach over the fine line between doodling and zentangling. Whatever!

Lastly, this is the artwork of little Aisyah, my youngest. Apa mama buat, dia nak buat jugak. 

The best doodle ever, sincerely straight from the heart! (biased, I know)

Huaaarrghhhh!! Mengantuk sudah...

Good night, everyone. And here's wishing you a fabulous weekend!
