DRAWING

Generally means to make markings by using lines. One of the most obvious characteristic of drawing that the artworks are done by using dry media, such as pencil, pen, pastel, or charcoal.

For most artists, drawing is the most basic and fundamental to master. As in drawing, we would learn a lot of constructing structure as well as render. These skills can be utilized in other area of art. Drawing is also mostly used in sketches or planning of artwork which is why it is so important to get used to it.

SKETCHES

Pictures below are the examples of my drawing sketches I made before proceeding to create the real artworks.

Artworks of Drawing

Besides doing sketches, drawing can also be finalized as artwork! As long as it is a marking on surfaces and usually by using dry media, it is called a drawing! In my study at UiTM, there is a specific subject for Drawing and we are told to make drawings with chosen themes and issues/working titles. During my degree, the working titles I used were feminism - in the early of the semester - and in the end of the semester, I changed it to superhero comic drawing. So my works are mostly towards the issues. Other than that (non-academic), my drawings are pretty much random in the aspect of theme and issues such as covid, and epic of Hang Tuah.

This drawing was drawn together with Paranoid. The name, Miss KUroNA is a pun I made for my friend named Kuna who becomes the model and because the drawing is about Coronavirus hence the title. Coronavirus also means Crown Virus, and that was why I put a crown on top of the figures.
