2 Digital Caricatures!

Here are a couple of 'free' Digital Caricatures I made for my GA#3 winners!

This one is for Ildi Cukipok from Romania!!! And she has also received the small package of gifts I sent   last few weeks. Glad to know you & make your day, Ildi :D!

And this one was made for Ani Haryati who sent a 'vintage' pic of herself & hubby in 1996 for me to turn into a Caricature. Hihiii... so sweet :)

Enjoy!

The WINNERS... are LUCKY!

Oh.. what a nice Monday morning. Not too hot, not too cold out there. We had a little rain early on... so I guess, for those who had to wake up super early and go to work.. phew!.. it must be super hard to drag yourself out of bed, huh?. Me too... until I remember what an important day today is. I'm going to ANNOUNCE my 1st LUCKY WINNERS for the 1st GIVE-Art-WAY LUCKY DRAW!!!

CONGRATULATIONS to....

The 1st PRIZE goes to lucky mia aka LoLLiMia from bibie-says.blogspot.com.
The 2nd PRIZE > muffins Jue from muffinsjue.blogspot.com
and Last but not least, 3rd PRIZE > mama_umar_maryam from superzetymarlia.blogspot.com

Owh, have I shown you the MYSTERY GIFT? Not yet, kan..? Here it is.. TA DAAA..!..

It's a Non Woven Eco Bag and I painted a little something on it for the special winner. I hope she'll like it :).

The paints that I used for the bag came from Pelikan Textilmalen Fabric Paint. It's really nice, smooth & quite brilliant on any fabrics. Bought them earlier this year when they had a Jualan Gudang at their HQ in Puchong. But if I'm not mistaken, they're discontinuing this product due to poor demand in Malaysia. Hmm.. sayang plak nak habiskan kaler ni kalu gitu... hihi.

Anyway, I hope the lucky winner will enjoy the1st prize gifts from Doodledesign :). Here's a ' winning batch' for you! You may copy & paste it in your blog, OK dear?

For the 2nd Prize winner who'll get a FREE A5 Sized Black & White Caricature (1 figure/person) + 1 Art Post Card... and 3rd Prize who'll enjoy a Black & White Caricature (1 figure/person) drawn by me but send in digital form...., please find a good, clear, picture of yourself OR your loved one and email me. I'll start sketching once received and send them to you when I'm done.

For those who are not that lucky this time, stick around to see more contests, offers, lucky draws or more doodling from Doodledesign. InsyaAllah.. But in the meantime, I've created a little batch for you guys to take home..or..to your blog, that is. Well, it's OK if you don't feel like a FAN of Doodledesign... it's more like a FRIENDSHIP BATCH  from me :).

Enjoy!

Wedding Here..Wedding There..

It's a long school break and a good time to bring the kids and adults (who are most likely forced to take leave) together in events such as weddings. I just came back from Terengganu attending a couple of beautiful weddings of my relatives. For them and so many more out there... CONGRATULATIONS on your wedding! May God Bless all of you... and may you live happily ever after. Seriously, is it really possible to live happily ever after? Perhaps it is... IF you are a SHREK! haha.

Well, the reality is hard to predict. Happiness is too vague to define... The important thing is.. to have FAITH.. and always PRAY & HOPE for the BEST... and please..please do not take each other for granted. God willing, we will all be fine :). IF things are not as fine as you wished for.. hmmm.. i suggest you run as fast as you could and when you're tired, take a rest! You'll learn that you're still on earth and there's no where else to go and hide but.. back to where you came from. Then, you'll have to move on. Yup.. that's the way it goes..or so..I've heard.

Anyway, apart from all the bell ringings around me.. Arenim, (one of my favorite clients)..has ordered 2 caricatures for her good buddies' weddings. I managed to finish them on time (phew!).. and with her own ideas on how she would like them to be (..with names and dates and the themes..), I think, both caricatures looked brilliant. Yet another definitely COOL GIFT for the memorable days of the brides&grooms.

I have also got my gift ready for the next wedding I'm attending. If you have read my previous entry on a custom made wedding card with hand drawn portraits in front of it... I've framed them up and I really hope they'll like it as well :)..

So.. for those who will do or are doing sum traveling for the events, have a safe trip. For those who are busy preparing the nitty-gritty stuff, cooking, decorating and all for the events, be patient.. it'll be over soon, get a good rest afterward. For those who are actually getting married, again I'd like to congratulate you & wish you da' best of luck.

A Baby Caricature

A friend asked me to make a caricature of his baby. So cute, huh? I love to color my caricature works with color-pencils- easier to handle and fun to mix & play with too.
Well, here's an idea- if you're out of gift ideas to give to your friends- especially for their kids, and then you happen to have pictures of theirs kids, why not "cartoonized" the kids' faces and put it in a nice not-too- expensive frame. I'm sure they'll love it!  Yup, I've seen those smiles before.. :)
