Chinese New Year wasn’t just a single-day event. It’s vibrantly celebrated and unbelievably lasts for two weeks, unlike other holidays, and because of this, I’m determined to make use of most of this time by adding word count and slight editing to my soon-to-be updates! Plus, I’m much excited to create a few unique graphic covers to be posted on my two portfolio books.
And next week, I’ve decided to have started the practice of digital drawing using an editing app with editing tools I bought recently online through an e-commerce app for virtual shopping. I wanted to give my first series a fresh look with a new cover style, which was made originally by me. I already know it’s definitely more challenging compared to the manual drawing I have used with drawing and coloring materials. It’s been years since I picked up three different types of pencils for hand-drawn art, whether it was objects, nature, or people, but I'm ready to give myself a challenge with that new drawing version!
Not boasting, but I’ve always been great at using notebooks and sketchpads with a big case of different drawing and coloring materials since childhood and the adolescent period. My drawing skills have been nurtured through my coursework and different human races I've met. My style has been influenced by Japanese drawing techniques, but I don’t strictly adhere to them. I incorporate my own unique technicalities into my art. This journey back into drawing is not just about creating covers. It’s all about rediscovery of my artistic voice, resting, and pushing the boundaries of my creativity!
