It was in 2011 when my boss, Ms. Jeanne, gave me one set of
charcoal pencils and a drawing book on my birthday.
She knew that I had so much
passion in drawing and doing an art work.
I was so thankful for her and the present.
I planned to give her something in return. So, I got the picture of Ms. Jeanne’s son, Andreas, and her husband, Pak Anto, from her Blackberry display picture (Sorry, Ms. Jeanne, I stole the pic hehe =^_^=)
Andreas was so cute. He was sitting on his Daddy's lap.
So, I took my drawing book and drew the picture by using pencils
Oops, the cheeks were too big (Sorry, Pak Anto :D )
So, I erased some and fixed them
Then, I thickened it by using charcoals.
My first experience of using charcoals was enjoyable.
I was astonished by how they smudged and created the effects of shading.
Charcoals were great for sketching. They were rich and wonderful.
Thank you, Ms. Jeanne, I really love my charcoals
So, after finishing the picture, I gave it to her and she really loved the result. I called it 'Andreas and Daddy'.
And, my journey with charcoals started here
