Horizon – Illustration Friday
When it comes to landscape, I have to admit that it is the hardest thing for me to draw traditionally.
Yassin at the Beach | Acrylic on Moleskine
See what I mean? Terrible innit?
Hence, I am putting up a book cover design, which I think is suitable for Illo Friday’s theme this week, “Horizon”.

But I want to be able to do everything…hehe Lol!

Hi Emila! Your Moleskine painting looks tons better than my Moleskine stuff- I am too cheap to use the pages because the books are expensive!
My son came home today… things are looking great–Thank you!

Of all categories, I love landscape the most. Not that I’m good at it but I really suck when it comes to portraits/faces.
Wow, it’s awesome that your artwork will be published for all to see… famous la nanti, jgn lupa we all ya… hehehe
