Nayara

This was the gift for Nayara’s second birthday.

Nayara is my friend’s daughter. Her mother, Ms. Ika, is my workmate. We've known each other since we were working at the same school in Central Jakarta.

Nayara is so adorable. She has these big eyes which make her looks so cute.

And for her birthday, I would draw a portrait picture of her.

I started it by drawing her face on an A3 paper

Then, I thickened it by using charcoals. And tadaaaa!! This was the result. 

Her mother said that she really loved it. They put it in their living room. Happy birthday, Nayara :)

Andreas

This was the gift for Andreas’ first birthday.

Andreas was my boss’ son. His mother, Ms. Jeanne, gave me one set of charcoal pencils and a drawing book for my birthday gifts.

So, on his birthday, I would give him something special. And I thought, a portrait picture of him would be perfect.

Then, I got (read: stole. hehe... sorry Ms. Jeanne  =^_^= I did it for Andreas' birthday gift hehe...) the cute picture of him smiling from his Mom’s display picture or blackberry recent updates

I started it by drawing him on an A3 paper.

Then, I thickened it by using charcoals. And tadaaaa!! This was the result. 

The most wonderful part about this was he smiled when I showed him the picture. So cute!! 

Happy Birthday, Andreas :)

My First Charcoals

It was in 2012 when I celebrated my 27 birthday.

I’ve been so blessed and lucky for being in a workplace surrounded with people who always treat me like a family.

My boss, she cares for everybody as a person.

On my special day, she gave me a set of charcoal pencils and drawing book.

I was so thankful for her and the gifts.

I could gain my drawing skill and do my commission work with the tools.

Thank you, Ms. Jeanne Chrysanthea. 

Thank you, thank you and love you Ms. Jeanne

Again, I feel so blessed and lucky :D

Pinata for Kimmie's Birthday

It was in February 2012. I was invited to my friend’s daughter’s birthday party in their house. Her name is Kimmie. Kimmie was turning into 5 years old. She really loved watching Angelina Balerina. So, I decided to make an Angelina Balerina piñata for her party.

First, I searched on the internet how Angelina looked like. 

(thanks for the picture http://angelinadancestudio.com)

The materials that I used are pink carton, pink shiny paper, glue and tape

I made and cut the pattern for Angelina’s body and face. I also made the cone for her nose to give a 3D look. Then, I filled the nose with sweets before I pasted it on the face.

For the dress, I divided it into two: the upper part or the tank top and the skirt.

I cut the tank top and pasted it on the body.

I joined the front and back patterns by using the tape. But I keep some parts open for putting in the sweets and used papers later.

I cut a long rectangle for her skirt and made it into rimple skirt.

I put the sweets and used papers in the piñata. Then, I closed the open parts by using the tape.

Then, I cut the ballerina shoes with pink shiny papers and paste them on her feet

For the final touch, I cut a long rectangle for her belt and put the flower in the middle.

And tadaaaaaa! The piñata was ready….

Since I didn't come to her party, I decided to give her an extra gift

Happy Birthday, Kimmie!

Kimmie

This was the gift for Kimmie, my friend’s daughter who was having her 5^th birthday in February 2012.

I drew her by using 2B, 5B and 8B pencils.

Happy Birthday, Kimmie:)

Noy and Grandpa

This is my second family pencil drawing.

I drew the photograph of my grandpa and me. 

It was taken when he was having his 96th birthday party. 

He is in heaven now. Happy birthday, Grandpa:).
