Mads Mikkelsen - Portrait Painting Tutorial

Image
Helloooo, Universe! I've been away from my blog for a long time and apparently I'm still alive. So, I decided to write again with a tutorial of my latest portrait painting. Here it is... Mads Mikkelsen, my current obsession I used this photo asa reference, only the head (because I'm too lazy to paint the body) and did a little improvisation with his hair: The Gorgeous Mads First, let's start with my colour palette. If you've read  my old tutorial of Luke Skywalker painting , it's basically almost the same. Not only the colour palette, but also the whole technique. I use these colours in almost every painting I made. Always use these colours... Okay, you're ready with the paint now. Let's start to draw... 1. Sketch Sketch When making a full colour portrait painting, I usually draw a not-too-detailed-sketch. As you can see on the picture above, the sketch is basically just thin outlines. I add the details later. 2. Base

Oh My Star Wars...

Image
Greetings to every creature in the galaxy far far away. Today is February 10th Earth time and it means Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace 3D is being released today, but sadly not in my country :'( :'( :'( Honestly, prequel trilogy is definitely not my favorite Star Wars movie... but still, I really want to see it in 3D. Not to mention, there's one of my favorite actors in this movie, Liam Neeson. Also, there are some scenes in The Phantom Menace that would be awesome if we can see it in 3D, such as the podracing and Darth Maul fighting scene. So sad I can't watch it here :( When I heard about the news of the movie being re-released in 3D, I was a bit upset because George Lucas decided to release Episode I first. And I also heard that the whole saga will be released in 3D, one movie per year. It means the original trilogy will be released on... wait... let me count first. A New Hope on 2015, The Empire Strikes Back on 2016 and Return of the Jedi on 2017. Whaatt

Boba Fett Sketch

Image
Good night, y'all! Or good morning to everyone on different side of the world. It is Monday early morning here and I just can't sleep. So I grab my paper and pencil to start making something. I remember that I want to make a series of postcards of Star Wars fanart. I've made the first one, which is Luke Skywalker postcard. Since I decided to give it to a friend, I need to paint another one. But for this moment, I'm just in the mood to make another character postcard. It is Boba Fett. Here is the sketch. I'll update the progress soon! Tessa x

Got a DD on DeviantArt

Image
Book of Ideals Hello, everyone out there in whatever galaxy you are! I just wanna tell you that I got Daily Deviation (DD) on DeviantArt yesterday (Friday, Jan 27th). That means my chosen work will be featured on the site for a day. Which work is it? Apparently it's my papercutting-bound-into-book work. Yes, it is Book of Ideals , the artwork that I made for Ideals, the four-piece-band from London, UK. Got a DD means that everyone who visit the site most likely will see your work. That means more views, more comments and more favorites. On the artist's description in my submission, I have put the link to Ideals' Significant Other video on YouTube . Hopefully the more people see my deviation, the more people will see the video too. And I hope some of them will like their music and find out more about them. I checked the video out again yesterday and as long as I remember, it had 8,900-ish hits. I forgot the exact number of views. Then, I checked it out again just now and it

Bombay Bicycle Club Live in Jakarta

Image
The People's Party Jakarta 2012 Thank God It's Friday! wasn't just an ordinary phrase for all Bombay Bicycle Club's fans in Jakarta last Friday, January 13. We were really grateful for this day because the wonderful Bombay Bicycle Club was going to perform tonight at Fairgrounds (ex Bengkel Night Park). They were coming to Indonesia on the event called The People's Party, promoted by Shoundshine. Bombay Bicycle Club was not the only band that performed that night. We also have The Jezabels (Australia), The Naked and Famous (New Zealand) and Metronomy (UK). Not to mention the opening act by local band called Roman Foot Soldiers. But on this blog, I will concentrate on writing about Bombay Bicycle Club's performance since they are my favourite and they are the reason I came to this event. :) The People's Party started at 7 pm sharp and Roman Foot Soldiers opened this event smoothly. This was the first time I heard their songs and I think they're good. The
