A Series of Sketchshots

This is the first time I ever put a sketch of a friend's face on my blog.

The reason for it is because I was planning to make it more than just a sketch.
I wanted to create a group of stills that would display a character's vivid moments, hence make it easier for people to relate even when they didn't know who the character was.
But that was, of course, just a wishful thinking.

Rather than a group of four rectangles, I should have used a group of nine squares.
It would certainly make the job harder (even with the four rectangles, the space to draw the faces became so small that I had to sharpen my pencil over and over again just to get the little details right - and even now, I still think people who know her won't recognize her immediately), BUT it can be solved by using a bigger paper (A3).
I think it would somewhat deliver the message better.

Some other time perhaps.

Not a Criminal

- I made this to be used in a poster.
- It's the first time I ever used conte. So now you know why the picture's a f*cking mess.
- When I finished it, and saw that there's nothing I could do to improve it (conte is hard to erase), I found that due to my lack of care, my hands are all black, the floor is black, and even my previous sketches had black stains on them (thank God I've scanned them all).
- Nevertheless, it actually felt good... I don't know why really.
- I'm gonna do better next time.

It's basically an illustration for a short story I made. It's in Indonesian, though.

Female Buddha

This is a sketch I just made.
It's special because it's the first time I draw solely on memory.
(and some guidance from my mother)
Woo hoo!!!

Female Buddha

Mm..
It's a female Buddha.

Why did I draw it?
Because I've been thinking about the feminine and the Truth.

That's pretty much it I guess.
If it doesn't look good, try zooming it until it does.
Hehehe...

UPDATE
I made some improvements after Ron's input and also added some details on the neck.

Gabor Arkangyal

Gabor Arkangyal means archangel Gabriel. I don't know much about him other than God favors him the most. He is surprisingly the leader of the favored four, not archangel Michael as a lot of people believed.
A friend of mine knows him a lot more than I do. Maybe he'll write about it sometimes.

The picture is based on a statue of him in the center of Budapest.

A Hand from God

Dracula

Picture Description
I made it based on a scene from Bram Stoker's Dracula.

I consider Dracula as a symbol of a human tragedy.

He was a man of God until HE gave him a trial beyond his strength (his wife was murdered while he was, ironically, away fighting for HIM in the crusade).
He was mad at HIM, and fell to the dark side for hundreds of years.
God did nothing and let him go.
When he was finally severely wounded by God's men, he wept looking back at his life. He had always been devoted to God, but HE let his wife murdered and left him when he needed HIM the most.
His dying words were,

"Where is my God? HE has forsaken me. It is finished."

In the end, however, God showed HIS grace. HE stretched HIS hand, reached him, and gave him the peace he had been longing for (characterized by a transformation of his devilish face into his former face as man of God).
