The Beatles di Warteg

Let It Be is my favorite album. I dont know, its just like raw, showing how they were really fucked up, ruined, out of whack, just that that that, how am I gonna say this, I mean like, look! They are not even in the same frame!!!

Yeaaaay, we got the record! (in the same frame)

Get high! Get high! Get high! (in the same frame)

We'll help Ringo! (in the same frame)

Hanya orang beriman yang bisa liat kami (in the same frame)

We're awesome. There's "we" in "awesomeness" (in the same frame)

I dont know any of these guys (in separated frame)

*Those are spoken with John's voice

Some of my favorite Beatles' song are in here like "I've Got A Feeling", John's trashy song like "Dig A Pony" which is kind of song that I would sang with excessive energy & emotion in the middle of rough (pseudo-drunk like) night, and you can see- I mean- hear- I mean-feel George's bitterness with the member's egos in "I Me Mine", the saddest song ever "The Long and Winding Road", and I always had an orgasm whenever I heard John's jokes in "Get Back".  Its not their last recording, but I love how humane, and again, raw, this album, in my opinion.  And you, true Beatlemania, I am up for critic.........

That That Polo Guy

Being a model it's not easy.
I am not a model, I am not even a model material.....

omg, I have been longing to use this gif!!!!!!!!!!! omg omg omg <insert an annoying OMG-ing fangirl.gif here, because it'll be too much>

But, I am an avid fan of high fashion models, so I kinda knew and been witnessing some stuffs, and I'll say, yes, it is not easy.  There was my fave who committed suicide, ana/mia issues, those "photographers", who stays "unknown" for the rest of his/her life et cetera et cetera.

Some models succeed by being snatched to Hollywood, but some just got some shows in New York Fashion Week, as a property in an editorial, and then gone.  Some got big ass huge designer adverstising, her/his face is in everywhere, but nobody knows them. And thats what happened with this random Polo Ralph Lauren guy that I used for the reference for this drawing.  

I was bored in class, and thank God I brought my watercolor pencils and old GQ magazine, so there.  But while making the sketch, I was thinking "Hmm, what is he doing right now? Does he know there is a girl in a  far away Asian tropical island looking at his face instead of her Physics teacher's handwriting on the whiteboard apparently trying to explain about Torque but she dont care but the teacher cares with what shes doing right now he worried about her upcoming final exam because this girl didnt have any progress in this subject but hes too good-hearted so he just starring at this girl from his desk and continue his lesson? " and  I just knew that the answer is "No", like 

again! again! hahahahahhahaha, I love it so much <proud tears.gif>

And this is my very first time using watercolor pencils.

Model : I wish I knew..

Abbey Lee & Gettin' High

I can say this is my first -almost- full body drawing and one of drawings that I made during classes in school.  And oh by the way, I admire those female models who have "orgasm" face, like you know, they are like holding their breath, and then "Oh, I savor every moment". I wonder if there were a workshop in every agency for new faces: "How to Work Your Orgasm Face" but I dont know, women are well-known for their capability for faking orgasm (I read that somewhere, and oh, go read the story of Marilyn Monroe (not Marilyn Manson, watch out) that "she never really had orgasm in her entire life". For an intellectual purpose, oh God!).   When the Tom Ford SS 11 campaigns released in the internet, I just knew that I wanted to draw this, so there.   

"How long did it take to finished this drawing?" Oh, I dont know, I was having a hard time to make the body right, I had no time to turn on my timer, I was too focus, but then the body is not even right, is not even finished,  why are you asking that, okay what am I doing, quitting Blogspot right away, okay just kidding.  You should have seen the body before I blocked it in full 4B (Thanks to Arya, a friend of mine, who suggested it), oh no, you should have not seen it.  

Thank God you're still reading.

Franco Dean and A Family

Since January 2012, I have been hanging out with local portrait painters in Blok M, to learn more, and yas, I did learn a lot from them, and they all so nice, they are just like a family for me, we laughed, we chatted, we ate gorengan, we ate pisang .... 

Well, so, this is my very first time making a colored portrait, with helps from those badass gurus.  The funny thing is, when I asked my friend, Luna, like "Can you recognize him?" and she answered "James Dean".  Well, this is James Franco in an editorial in an old GQ (yes, maam, I  have tits, and I prefer GQ than your favorite girlie magazines) with the title "The Style of James Dean". (Yeah,  I know it's not that funny, I dont even think you got that one, like you were expecting a joke about my life as a gay man trapped in a girl's body, yeah, lets see)   

And yes, I haven't finished it until now.

Googling FPI's Scheißßßßßße

I am not a fan, but the Born This Way album, I appreciate her artistic music videos and I like Government Hooker, Americano and Scheiße (yeah, right there, you knew copied & pasted the "Scheiße" from google, because, okay, where the fuck is "ß" in this damn keyboard, please understand me, I live in Indonesia, this is not even my own PC, I am in an internet café. Internet café, see, i just copied & pasted that leafy "e", what do you call it, okay, googling that) and I am not going to say more, because, yeah, I dont know her that much. (will probably get some visits because all of these FPI shits)

Shosty

I am an INTP, I have the "bragging" rights for being one, but that would need different post, so the story I am about to share here, I was browsing about "INTP", like you know, I was so excited for knowing my "true nature", basically the same when Harry found out that he's a wizard or you just knew that Kidrauhl is actually Justin Bieber and so on, so this article said that most of INTP's favorite music is likely to be Shostakovich's works, and I was like "Shostakovich, hmm, fancy name" and then launching the usual protocol "What is this shit, lets google and youtube and wiki it". So, yurp, I fell in love with him and his taste for glasses, and Russians have the most "fun to draw" face (in my opinion, most of supermodels' name will answer, I guess), and those classical music dudes called him "Shosty" and I love him more.

Ethan James

Still on the male model craze, I got this picture long before I chose to draw it, Ethan James in  Dior Homme Fall Winter 11 show. He has great eyes, so Egyptian, but well yeah he is half Egyptian, and also half Dutch, half French, half English and half Maltese wait that is not half but whatever, I do suck at math, but you got my point, didn't chah?

Model Jedi be you will a

My favorite faces will always be him and Lindsey Wixson<-that is a link, you shall click it. Click it.  Click it, you hoe-. James has electric-stabbing-“oh, I am gonna haunt you everywhere you go with these kind of eyes”-“oh, bitches, dont’chu ever forget me with these blue eyes” eyes, you know.  (Ok, if you are going to google image him, make sure you have added "model" so like "james smith model", because, jeez, there are a lot of James Smith in this universe, even in the Dagobah System. Like, I know right? He's way too exotic to be just "James Smith", I mean, he should have had those "-ovic" or "--nov" in his name, James Smithnovic or James Smithivanov, yeah, those would help).  It was after a long long hiatus and then something told me I should draw Mert Alas and Marcus Piggot in Industrie Issue 3 cover so after that I decided “Yes, I am so going to draw James Smith”.
