Busy Town
Busy Town by Emila | Pen and Marker in Moleskine
I have not been participating for Monday Artday for quite sometimes and thought I start illustrating every week now. This is an additional resolution for this year.
The theme is ‘Busy Town’- This ‘town’ is a mixture of Penang, Melaka and KL. Added a French-style kedai roti (bakery) and kedai kopi (cafe). I use Micron pen for overall drawing, Artline Calligraphy pen for the title and Kurecolor marker for the shading. Here’s a cropped close-up:
Alamak! Saya lupa nak lukis tiang elektrik!

Hi Emila! Thanks again for the beautiful holiday card :)Your latest illo is wonderful with detail and I love your choice of color palette!! I too have been trying to get more drawing in since the new year began – I decided that I’ll either need longer days or less sleep, lol!
