Alice’s Adventure in Wonderland
I have been wanting to illustrate Alice’s Adventure for quite sometimes already and recently managed to start doing it slowly during free times or while having coffee at my favourite cafe.
Do you like it? Will try to illustrate more children’s book from public domain. I am thinking of Little Women or Jack & Jill.
Pen + watercolor on paper. For sale, RM800, size A4. E-mail me at emilayusof@gmail.com for inquiry. -

Moleskine: Fraser’s Hill sketch
I bought a new moleskine with a plan to practice my pens sketches. Previously have black one, thought I get a red one this time. My first sketch is a sketch of Fraser Hill; the roundabout with a clock tower and post office. It took me quite sometimes to finish the details. I filled in the blue color digitally to break the monotonous. Everything else was traditional: pen and sketchbook.
As seen on my Instagram page.

So you wanna draw: 5 – Draw your toothbrush
When I took the toothbrush from the bathroom, my husband gave that are-you-running-out-of-things-to-draw look. But I told him without him asking the question, that toothbrush is an interesting subject to draw; the shape, the brush and the details.
Now I want you to go and take your toothbrush. Observe it, turn them around. Find a good angle that you think is easier to draw. You can try to draw it from many angles like what I did above. For a stay-at-home mom, I know this subject is reachable anytime but for those who are working, try to bring your own toothbrush in your handbag. When nobody is watching, take it out and draw. If somebody comes and laugh at you, just tell them that you carry your toothbrush all the time to take care of your teeth after having lunch. Also ask them whether they do that too. It’s normal you know.
You can copy my drawing if you like, I hope it’s big enough for you to use as reference. Have a great week and happy drawing!

So you wanna draw: 4 – Draw your laptop
I have been busy doing mock-up for a book that I want to propose to a publisher on Monday as well as a drawing that will leave for New Zealand and a header for a blog. Hence, the few days hiatus.
Thank you to Syug who waited patiently for this exercise. I am pretty amazed that she is quite good in drawing. Keep it up Syuq, love all your drawings! Visit Syuq to see her drawings: http://dikekelisa.blogspot.com and please leave her some comments.
OK let’s get on with our practice. It’s pretty much on what we see around us. Today, let’s draw our laptop/computer. You see it everyday, right? So it’s quite easy to draw. Take your sketchbook and other tools and sit in front of your laptop. Draw the shape first with all the details later. Details are very important to visualise what we are trying to draw. With only the shape, it can be a blender or a baggy blouse with no collar.
You don’t really have to be precise on the number of keys on the keyboard as the exact details with make you go rubbing the eraser many times over.
Ok? So get going. Till I figure out what to draw next. Have fun and happy weekend.
Here’s a cover song by Angus and Julia Stone that I have been listening while drawing.

Lion Dance at Naza World
I went with my family to see the Lion Dance at Naza World last Saturday. The crowd was huge! The lion Dance was performed by 2010 & 2011 Champion in World Lion Dance Competition, Kun Seng Keng Dragon & Lion Dance Association. We were amazed at how the dancers balanced their movement on the poles.
I only stayed until the end of the dance and straight away went looking for lunch elsewhere as my son was screaming hungry and could not wait in line for the lunch served around 3pm.I got an angpow from Naza and I split it with Yassin. He blinked his eyes cheekily like the lion and smiled to the ears.
Golden lion ‘dancing’ on poles.
Cute lion, as Yassin puts it.
One for the album, Yassin and his favourite car.
Upon reaching home, Yassin challenged me to a lion drawing. Here’s what he drew:
And here’s what I drew:
Yassin quickly close his sketchbook and wonder, “how come your lion is better than mine?” I said, “practice, son, practice.”
