my love bucket

sorry for the awkward/weird post title. but it is true.. that ice bucket is my love bucket. random information but anyways..

process of my doodles

so here's another pairing. i may be getting a little addicted to these "pairings" but whatever.. the more, the merrier right? and i also seem to post quite often these days.. definitely not in a rut of any sort.. which is good to know!! we all know how blog ruts can be sometimes.. maybe i've had my fair share for this year.

anyways, a couple of you have been asking how the process of my doodles is like. well to make it not long and boring, i'll try to explain it as short as i can:
1. draw/doodle/write on normal paper with a pen
2. scan it in (sometimes i am too lazy to do this :p)
3. layout it out on photoshop (yes, i use photoshop)
4. save and blog it (tadaaaaaa! done!)

i guess the thing that most people don't get is the fact that i like combining the traditional way, which is writing and drawing by hand.. but then also digitalizing it using photoshop. i don't know if that makes sense. but i really hope it does. if not, drop me an email and maybe i'll be able to explain it to you better there?

that's all for now. toodles!!

the list (part five)

it's official. november is my "list" month. i have made five lists so far.. and i think some of you suggested this particular one. so here it is! i realized if i doodled these places that i listed, it probably wouldn't do any justice.. so i found them on google images instead. for your information, i have never been to any of these places but i really hope to visit them soon. one day hopefully!

now it's your turn, where would you like to travel to?

creative outlet

some people might not agree with me and some might even criticize me for agreeing to the quote "art never comes from happiness" but for me this is the case. it's probably different cases for different people. but i'm just saying, for my case.. there's always some sort of emotions coming from what i create. and most of the time, believe it or not.. it is coming from sad place, instead of a happy one.

BUT, i must say that.. creating, doodling and whatever it is that i do.. it's more of an outlet for my emotions. the positive thing though, is that after writing and doodling.. it actually makes me feel better. however, i am not saying that i am always depressed while i make my doodles cause that would probably be quite disturbing and i probably would need some sort of therapy, if that was the case..?

just know that, there are some doodles that i create out of happiness. so i guess it is somewhat an equal balance (even though it's more of 80% sad and 20% happy :p not so balanced after all!)

anyways, do you have an outlet when it comes to your emotions? whether it be happy or sad emotions.. what do you do? do you cook? draw? or work out, maybe? if i could cook, i would probably cook my emotions out!
