"I'm sorry" said the Pencil to the Eraser

Pencil:
I'm sorry

Eraser:
For what?
You didn't do anything wrong.

Pencil:
I'm sorry because you get hurt because of me.
Whenever I made a mistake,
you're always there to erase it.
But as you make my mistakes vanish,
you lose a part of yourself.
You get smaller and smaller each time.

Eraser:
That's true.
But I don't really mind.
You see, I was made to do this.
I was made to help you
whenever you do something wrong.
Even though one day, I know
I'll be gone and you'll replace me with a new one,
I'm actually happy with my job.
So please, stop worrying.
I hate seeing you sad. :)

-------------------------------------------------------

I found this conversation between
the pencil and the eraser very inspirational.
Parents are like the eraser
whereas their children are the pencil.
They're always there for their children,
cleaning up their mistakes.
Sometimes along the way...
they get hurt, and become smaller
(older, and eventually pass on).
Though their children will eventually
find someone new (spouse),
but parents are still happy
with what they do for their children,
and will always hate seeing
their precious ones worrying, or sad.

--------------------------------------------------

"All my life, I've been the pencil..
And it pains me to see the eraser
that is my parents getting
smaller and smaller each day.
For I know that one day,
all that I'm left with would be
eraser shavings and memories
of what I used to have..."

2nd of November, 2010 - Today + Design Transformation Assignment

I was suppose to have
English (Level 2) class
today but unfortunately
we were informed that
Miss Freda is sick.
Get well soon :3

I didn't really have the mood to
go back home early, so I stayed
for a while and talked to Charm
and met a new friend named Bernard
we all have the same interest which
is anime and so I called a friend of mine
which is Kuzaimi who is also into anime.
We talked and talked and also drew :D

This is what I drew :3

I'm really sorry for the bad quality
but I'm really lazy to scan
especially when my brother told
me to 'explore' and figure out
how to use the scanner on my own.
I'm not in the mood to get my hands dirty

This is what I drew yesterday
before dinner time :3

I was practicing on the
S & M look and facial expression
and at first it was only the girl
but then I thought maybe she
deserves a guy beside her XD
hahahahahhaha

-------------------------------------------------

Moving to my next topic
which is my design transformation
assignment.

Before I present my outcomes.
Design Transformation
is about Design Development
and Design Development is about
Design Process.
Design Process is a systematic
problem solving strategy, with
criteria and constraints, used to
develop many possible
solutions to solve a problem
or satisfy the human needs
and wants and also to narrow down
the possible solutions to one.
+This is based on the notes given to me+
+From Visual Communication in Design+

However,
Design Transformation can also
be said to transform an object
to create or modify a design.
Such as a snail's shell
into a building
or a bamboo into a mug.

For my assignment,
I choose a jellyfish as my object

I haven't work on the final one
because I just had to rest
and the sun was shining directly
towards my eyes.

That's All For Now!
Thank You For The Visit!

1st of November, 2010 - How To Draw Water & It's Reflection

ADA 101
Design Communication I

First of all
IT'S NOVEMBER!!!!!
Another month and 29 days
and it will be 2011!
...Wow...

Anyhow
I know most people
find it difficult to draw or sketch
water and reflections
including me as well.

The last 2 weeks
we were taught on how
to draw water & reflections
+Click Any Photo To Enlarge It+

I didn't really get it at first
but I tried to understand
by looking at the pictures given

+1st photo+

+2nd photo+

As what is shown above
when drawing a view
the water seems to be reflecting
anything above the eye level

Although we can indicate that
the eye level is the straight line
that we see on the photo
but actually it's NOT
The eye level is slightly
above the 'line'
which is why there's a missing
hill on the water's reflection
in the 1st photo.

Same goes to
when you're sketching a
short-distance view

You can see the reflections on the water
in these artworks.

:IMPORTANT:
However, do remember that
the water has to be drawn
flat and still when it
comes to drawing reflections.

-----------------------------------------------

I haven't really tried to apply
this technique in my drawings yet.
If I do, I'll surely show it in my blog.

For those taking Design Communication I
and those who are going to take this subject
this is a good place for you to
refresh, learn and understand
before taking the subject.
For those who are taking it now
(which is mostly my classmates)
STUDY NOW!!!
Peace :D

Thank You For Reading!
I Hope I Was Of Help!

31st of October, 2010 [Part 2] - Inspiration

Literally, here I am
sitting at my cute round table
with the laptop on in front of me
while I think hard to get some inspiration
for my Gestalt Theory Assignment.

:Link:
25th of October, 2010 - Gestalt Theory

I mentioned about Gestalt Theory
in my blog before and yeah
Before this I was actually done
with the ideas and what was
left to do was to finish
up the last piece on
an A2 cartridge paper.

However,
my Gestalt Theory thumbnails on
Figure & Ground were rejected.
Clearly it's because I didn't
understand completely about
the theory.

But now I do :D
After doing some research
and looking into examples
I think this source is the best
place if you want to
understand about
Figure and Ground
completely.

Just click the link to find out
Figure Ground Perception
in Psychology

So one problem had solved
Now to think of another
4 new inspirations
to add into my sketches.
Before writing this blog
I already had 3 thumbnails
and was looking for one more
just ONE more inspiration
to complete the sketch.

It's really funny how
I suddenly wanted to blog
and write about it in my post
because suddenly
the inspiration that
I was looking for
came to me instantly
Yay :D Cheers!

It's going to be
the 1st of November tomorrow.
The month that I was born.
I don't really know the reason
why I like November so much
and also February.
I guess I just do :3

Thank You For The Visit!
Happy Halloween Everyone!

31st of October, 2010 - Chocolate Temptation [Manga]

------------------------------------
!WARNING!
Mature content.
This manga is only suitable
for 18 years old and above.
I am not responsible if something
happens to you who's younger.
------------------------------------

:Link:
Chocolate Temptation

Happy Halloween Everyone! :D
I know I should be sharing something
about Halloween but I have nothing up yet
so I'll just share this manga that I just read :3

It's a really good manga :D
because it makes me go
"Kyaaa! Kyaaa!" here and there.

It started off with a girl name Ayaka
siting on a piano in the music room
while staring at the tennis court.
She just got dumped with her boyfriend
,who is a tennis player, because Ayaka
is a really shy girl and doesn't stand out much.
Crying while siting on the piano and then
laid down on the piano, Niwase,
a guy from Ayaka's class also very popular,
saw Ayaka in the music room
while she's lying down on top
of the piano.

Niwase went near to Ayaka
and surprised her.
The story goes on when
Ayaka told Niwase that she
just got dumped by her boyfriend.
Right then, Niwase give her a kiss
and flip a chocolate into her mouth.
According to Niwase,
that type of chocolate is able
to make someone happy by
just eating (well at least it works for him)

Then Niwase said "Actually,
I've been planning to steal you
away from him"

Ayaka replied
"Don't you have a girlfriend already???"

Without doubt, Niwase said
"If you agree to go out with me,
I'll dump my girlfriend"

So from then the story
goes on between Niwase and Ayaka
until they get together eventually.
Again, it's a really good manga XD
So if you're 18 and above,
I recommend you to read this.

That's All For Now!
Thank You For The Visit!

Today's English - Types of Adjectives

If you've been reading my blog
since early this month,
you'll notice that I've shared
something about Adjectives
from the Part of Speech

:Link:
Today's English - Adjectives
Today's English - Part of Speech & English Tenses

So today I'll be talking about
the types of Adjectives.
It's just to freshen up my memory
regarding Adjectives.

There are few types of Adjectives:

1. Descriptive Adjective
- adds detail or description to the noun
Example: The man is tall
Example: The doctor said it was a difficult surgery

2. Limiting Adjective
- to specify the noun
Example: That is the captain's table
Example: The two bags were sold out

3. Predicate Adjective (special type)
- follows a linking verb and
modifies (directly refers to) the subject
Example: People are interested in this game
Example: She is very careful

4. Verbals as Adjectives
There are two types:
1) Participles (end with EN, ED or ING)
2)Infinitives (TO+VERB)
Example: He is sure playing it tough
Example: It is an interesting movie to watch

5. Degrees of Adjectives
- used to indicate levels,
degrees of intensity or comparison
Example:
Funny = base
Funnier = comparative
Funniest = superlative

Although my information is based
on the source above,
I simplified it to make it
easier to understand.

I hope I've been of help :D

Bones (TV Series)

Before watching this series
I thought it would be a serious
and BORING show since clearly
by looking at the title, it definitely
got to do something about bones
and also science.

Although I know some basic
of physics, biology and also chemistry
from secondary school since I'm
from a pure science stream class
Still...you know...I thought it will be boring.

But after watching one episode of it
Just ONE episode people
to make me fall in love with this show.
Clearly I'm just sooo loving it.

According to Wikipedia [Link]
The show is based on forensic anthropology
and forensic archaeology,
with each episode focusing on an FBI case file
concerning the mystery behind human remains
brought by FBI Special Agent
Seeley Booth (David Boreanaz)
to the forensic anthropologist
Dr. Temperance "Bones" Brennan (Emily Deschanel).
The rest of the cast includes
Michaela Conlin,
T. J. Thyne,
Eric Millegan,
Tamara Taylor
and John Francis Daley.

This show is created by Hart Hanson

Now I know why my sweetheart loves this show

29th of October, 2010 - Holding The Pencil [Sketching & Drawing]

ADA 101
Design Communication 1

It's a Friday today and supposedly
I have 2 classes today.
However, since Sir Raed is a
flying lecturer until he finds a new one,
so our classes with him will keep on changing.

Today in Design Communication class
we were on Chapter 6-Sketching & Drawing.
So I'll be only sharing a little bit of what
we learned today, which is 'holding the pencil'

There are 4 ways to hold a pencil
when it comes to sketching & drawing.

1. Basic Tripod Grip
This is the basic grip that we normally
used since we were in kindergarden
usually for writing like when
you're doing your essay.

It is where you use your
thumb, forefinger and middle finger
to form a tripod or triangle for the grip.
Your ring finger and pinky finger supports
you to write or sketch.
Normally used when you want to make
fine details on you sketches.

2. Extended Tripod Grip
This is almost the same as the
basic tripod grip, only that
your grip moves further up
and this grip is usually loose.
Normally used when you want to
make a long line or curve.

3. Overhand Grip

Most artists will prefer to use this grip
because it is suitable to produce flowing
and sweeping lines and also
when you want to do sketching,
hatching, cross-hatching, and value work

Another reason is because this grip
does not need a propped arm
and it is only limited to you arm span.

4. Underhand Grip
This grip is normally used for
casual and broad sketching
and it is a very loose
and relaxing grip.

It is basically like a tipped-over
tripod grip but you can move the thumb
higher or let the pencil sit in a 'V'
at the thumb and palm with
the ring and middle finger
lightly controlling the tip.

----------------------------------------------

Our lesson was quite short and quick
since there was only a little information given.
The rest of the time that we had we used it to
do our final touches to the assignment
that we were supposed to pass up
since Sir Kennedy said it wasn't enough
so might as well do a little bit of changes
to get extra marks :D hahahahaha

The lecturer also showed us
a few examples on how to
properly use the poster colour
and what a punch line is XD
and also a few more stuff

weeeeeeeee (@_@)

Thanks For Reading!
