Heavy on growth right now; it’s really ME vs. ME.

Understand you don’t understand.

“look into people’s lives. Look into anyone’s life. There is always a nightmare somewhere…”

In 2012, there was a popular challenge running around DeviantArt where artist would pick an old artwork of theirs and redraw it. I jumped on the bandwagon without thinking much about it. But somewhere around the process, I decided I wanted to redraw this piece 5 years later, then perhaps 5 years after, and so on. Just like that, a tradition was born.

My art has improved over time for sure. Since 2012, I took an art course in college, attended several figure drawing sessions, upgraded tools, experimented with some techniques and used more reference pictures than before (I used to be like "I got this! It's in my head". Here's a tip if you want to improve your art: don't be like that).

But then, I stopped.

At some point, my inspirations faded away. I have always been, and still am, very imaginative, but I reached my limits drawing-wise. It's also around the time I started questioning my art and art in general, the type of questions that hinder your creativity more than it helps. So I stopped creating, instead I did drawing studies once in a while. Later, I moved out of town and went to university for a not-art-related course, and I quickly became too busy to draw.

Today, I work full-time in an office job, not making a lot of money but making much more than I ever did as an artist. I slowly picked up on painting and have maybe a few projects in mind. But I am coming back under one condition: I want painting to remain fun. Therefore, I won't pressure myself to become the better artist, I won't be chasing views or comments, and I won't do complicated perspectives or 3D stuff or anything I hate doing. I still do drawing studies because I enjoy learning and observing, and I still attend figure drawing sessions because it makes me socialize with people. But I also watch more movies and animes, I go out more, I picked up on other hobbies like sewing.

Enjoy my art and my overly personal reflections. More thorough analysis coming soon.

I will win

Not immediately

But definitely!

Some idea just came up when i saw this pic at my album, literally I'm felling fine and anxiety at the same time, when soul, mind and heart just not in the same page. Yeah I'm struggling with my self. Me vs Me. Hooraaa!

The day you stop racing is the day you win the race. -Unknown-

Done, plus 22 push-ups for suicide prevention. Especially my brothers & sisters in the military and LEOs. Missing you Jim & Homer 💙 Never forgotten, always missed.

Confession time: I love myself so much, but sometimes I struggle with self-respect. It's a journey of finding myself and growing. I am accepting my flaws, learning from Saturn, and taking a deeper appreciation for my self-worth. 🌟

. . . Start Loving Yourself Ada yang suka mikir "kok hidupku masih gini gini aja ya?" Kalo iya, selamat itu adalah pertanda baik. Lah kok pertanda baik? Iya, soalnya orang yang gak mau berubah jadi lebih baik gak mungkin kepikiran buat mikir begitu. Mungkin hal itu juga bisa terjadi karena kamu sering bandingin kehidupan kamu sama orang lain, jadi kamu ngerasa hidup kamu stuck. Daripada kamu bandingin diri kamu sama orang lain. Mending kamu bandingin diri kamu yang dulu sama yang sekarang deh! Coba deh liat kebelakang dan inget-inget lagi moment pas kamu bisa - Bangun tidur sebelum alarm bunyi - Bisa ngerjain tugas dengan baik - Bisa dateng ke kampus/kantor tepat waktu - Berhasil nahan nafsu buat gak makan manis Nah pencapain-pencapain kecil kayak gini yang harus kita hargai, biar gak lupa kalo kita sebenernya udah lebih baik kok dari kita yang kemaren. Jadi daripada buang waktu buat bandingin diri kita sama orang lain, lebih baik kita gunain waktu sebaik mungkin buat upgrade diri kita jadi lebih baik. Kalo kamu lagi ngerasa stuck coba lakuin ini deh: 1. Tulis 3 hal yang mau kamu capai 2. Buat detail dan deadlinenya 3. Terus lakuin sekarang Setuju?
