Procrastination

This is the most complicated word I learn with my friend.....I dunno, somehow I really want to draw, somehow I don't and I'm lazy to do it....But I have to set in mind, time is running short.....

My Perspective About Art Now

Now, my view of art is totally different. I didn't look at one angle only, anime and manga. I look it at every angle. Once, I even want to leave anime and manga. But for sure, I cannot leave for a style that introduce me to art.

Fine Art, Abstract Art, Cartoonic, they are all beautiful, and not just that, music, style, culture and other factor also play a part in creating art. Art is not only about anatomy, or comic, or animation, it is life overall...There no single way or specific way to express art, anything is possible.

I met many people who speak of art, none of them accurate, but none of them didn't wrong. Art is in the perspective of an individual, just like beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Different art have different kind of perception, and people cannot just judge other artwork from one point of view only. Like perspective, they have many type of viewpoint. Now I understand what is the perspective of art now, it is like sphere, didn't rigid, didn't have boundary, and shapeless.....it can take any form or style, or creativity.

Learning New Kind of Art

At Degree level, I learn some new art. The art I hate most, Fine Art. I learn it even though before I enter Degree level, but then I didn't know they also teach this kind of art. I want to learn anatomy, manga or anime way, creating character, not Fine Art.

But when I look it at another angle, there is some beauty in Fine Art. You can dig your own feeling and inner sense when you do Fine Art. I try it, and now, I'm in love in Fine Art.

Deviantart

I learn so many thing when I work, or meeting different people. The first thing I learn is Deviantart, which is a community site of art that we can share and comment our own art and art from others. It is nice to know there is someone out there who appreciate our work.

Meeting The Community of Manganime

In diploma time, luckily I found some community who share the same interest as me. My presentation about anime at that time attract most people who like manga and anime. I learn something, this kind of community didn't like to show themselves unless someone else dig out from them. Maybe I'm the first who become the catalyst...(haha, what a joker...)

At that time, even though the subject is sucks, I didn't mind as long as I met someone or community like that around me. It is nice to know that there is someone out there who share the same interest as me. I can take a long breath now.

Second Experience

When I enter high school, I learn there are some who like anime and manga. But the community are still little. I remember back then in primary school, my mom ask me to throw manga. OMG, I wish I didn't do that.

At that time, I started to write action adventure + romance novel at form 3, thanks to my fanatic habit to the Sailormoon predecessor, Cardcaptor Sakura which being shown in NTV 7, every 10 am. I'm so darn fanatic, I even buy the Cardcaptor Sakura Original Soundtrack CD.

At that time, I'm imagine my life is just like comic....haha....isn't that funny...? Even now, I still think like that. But well, reality is much more different than comic. Even comic following the reality, no?

Okay, so I search for people who can teach me, anybody. But the thing is, you have to learn art by yourself....that's what I learn from my second experience....

First Experience

To tell the truth, I didn't like art at all when I was small.....I didn't even like art class....Ironic is, I like to doodle at the side of the exercise book whenever teacher teach in front. When this one girl older than me (a lot) and I called her Sister Judy (not real name) introduce me to Sailormoon, my eye open to one kind of art, manga style. At first, I thought there is a software to make own manga, but back in 1996, there is no such thing as shortcut software. So to make own manga, I started to make fan stories of Sailormoon, starring me alongside Tsukino Usagi (how embarrassing) but this kind of weird habit comes to passion when later, I try to learn more about manga and anime. In school, there are so hard to find someone who had the same interest as me about manga and anime along my girl friends. At that time, I'm shy to talk about anime or manga to boys. Usually they will talk about boys, and boys will talk about girls.....

But as I grew, I learn there are some girl who share same passion as me, or quarter a bit. Even my cousin like Sailormoon, which we share the same interest.

That is my first experience in art.
