Moleskine Challenge: Stormy Snow *
Stormy Snow | Acrylic on moleskine
21 pages left to draw. I think this painting makes a good background for a poem; yet to come up with one. Anyway, here’s the close-up of the painting:
I really love the textury feeling up close.

I dream in pink *
I dream in pink | Watercolor + acrylicMade this for no particular reason, I kinda missed the fun using watercolor, so that must be it. The background was a mess so I cut off the woman and paint a new background out of acrylic. Ok, maybe this one will add up to my Woman Series drawings.

Flower Abstract | acrylic on moleskine
This painting was done last week. I don’t really like the overall composition but I love the textures up-close. I’ve got two more old sketches to be colored. Will make new drawings after that.
Just got back from Ipoh and it was fun meeting kids. They are so adorable and cute. Will put up pictures soon as I can. I didn’t get to meet Diya and Anny as they have other plans. Hope to meet them next time. My mom was here for the weekend and helped me packed some of the things to be taken to our hometown next weekend. My 2nd last brother is moving to the hometown and to help ease the moving services cost, I offered to help carry some of his things in the back of my car. Will celebrate Eid’ul Adha at his new rental house.
My moleskine: 25 pages left to draw.

My Kaki | Calligraphy pen + acrylic
Drew this while waiting for the Tioman ferry few weeks ago. The background coloring was done last week. See that stamping on the right page? Made it using rubber eraser. Don’t really like the outcome. Will try to do it on lino. I have just finished with major works yesterday and today I will try to clear off pending posts, read/reply e-mails, drop EntreCard, visit you guys and what not before I leave for Ipoh tomorrow morning. I won’t be driving to Ipoh as my husband is taking our car to the workshop; the a/c compressor is not working. I’ll be going with Kak Farihah instead. I can sleep all the way to Ipoh hehe.

Moleskine cum IF challenge
Penang Island | Mixed media on Moleskine
The IF challenge this week is to illustrate ‘Island’. The only thing that I could think of is Penang Island. Of course there’s Langkawi Island, Pangkor Island and what not but Penang Island always comes to mind first. Furthermore, my late grandma was a Penangite. I wish I could add more elements like landmark icons but it would be too small for me to draw, so I just settled with the Penang Bridge intead. Of course Plumerias too.
The last time I went there was like 8 years ago and I really enjoyed it’s beautiful beaches, the view from the bridge and the antique buildings. I even painted one for my wall. A blogger friend, Dmystify, a Penangite, has pictures of beautiful buildings in his Grand Ol’ Penang post. Check it out and don’t forget to leave a comment, or two, in his blog, ok!
My moleskine; 56 pages left. Overall coloring: Acrylic, outline: micron pen, shadow: prismacolor colored pencils.
Are you a penangite? I would love to link you in here. Let me know, I’ll put up a link love to your blog!

Primitive – IF
Mari Tulis Jawi | Let’s Write Jawi
Acrylic on Moleskine
Nisah Haron noticed the missing dot in my ‘Jim’ alphabet. Here’s the corrected version. I swear I had the dot in pencil before burnishing it with permanent marker! Oh, malunya hati ini!
Jawi is the primitive writing scripts for the Malay Language. It was adapted when Islam arrived in southeast Asia during the 14th century and was the dominant writing in the Malay world. However, it was replaced by the Latin alphabet in the 17th century, under influence from the Dutch and British.
Today, the use of Jawi Malay scripts is considered to be an endangered script. It is mainly used for Islamic religious documents only.
