I started to draw since I was like 4 or 5 years old, just like every other kids. In my junior high school period, I still like to draw but that time I was doing it with my friends. Since my college in one of a well-known art and design school in Bandung, Indonesia, I realized how I love drawings, and how I’ll never stop learn to draw.

never thought I can draw anything in anyhow. I used to feel that my drawings were never better than anyone’s. But someone keeps telling me, keep practice, the more you practice, the more you wiz. So then I keep practice and going through satisfactions and desperates.
First year of my college period, was the year full of training. When my brain was trained that I can’t stop no matter how tired I am. When my hand was trained that the more lines I make, the more smooth it makes. When my discipline was trained that if I don’t practice, then I can’t be succeed. 4

bjects to draw are limitless. Besides I draw “Anna”, my sister. Her photos and Anna herself are often be my object to practice. I remember I’ve ever draw her lively when I was like in the 3rd grade of primary school. I drew for about two hours because I kept repeat my lines. She was tired but I kept tell her not to go away. So she didn’t go away. And the result was the drawing wasn’t look like her. But until today, she is never be cured to be my drawing’s object. Thank you, Anna. 6

rom the same photo as the drawing before, I tried to draw Anna in different medium. This time I used chinese ink. And the A5 size paper seemed a little less challenging that time, so I used usual 80 grams A4 size paper. So here’s the result. This was actually my first portrait drawing using chinese ink medium. Drew from the same photo, but produced a different result. 7

ownloading people’s photo from the internet is one of the way I do to find objects to draw. I like to brwose using the keywords “face”, “expression”, “people”, etc. After I find the photo that fits me, I start to draw it. I don’t pick certain photos. Some good expression or good shading of the object itself, directly catch my intention. It could be famous actress, or maybe only some random people from the internet. 10

“Self portrait #1”, pencil on A5 paper, 2009
rawing my own face is like doing a warm up before doing any sports. No one will gets angry if the drawing result doesn’t look the same as the real. I have so many drawings of my self portrait. Doesn’t mean to be narcistic. My own face is the freest object to draw as an object. Sometimes if making self portrait drawing perceived less challenging, I started to draw pictures of my friend and family. 15
