Drawing with 'deviantART muro'

It's my first drawing in muro.deviantart.com.... I unintentionally found this app when I was browsing something in internet... Remembering that I had ever drawn with such similar app like this in my cousin's Nintendo DS *I forget the app's name, I straight tried  this app.. And finally I created this doodle... I forget what inspired me to draw this at that time... Just wanted to try creating something with this simple app :)

This doodle created on 8 June 2011....

My Character Cartoon

Hi, this is my first own character cartoon... =3
It was one of computer graphic 2 test last semester...(*I've passed semester 4, n now I'm going to semester 5^^)...

The test was about coloring with Photoshop, n we were told to make the character first with Illustrator using pen tool. First step I took was to draw the sketch on a drawing book, then I captured it with my phone camera and transferred it to my laptop.
Next step, I traced the lines one by one using pen tool, and this is the result...
Finally, homework was finished! I just had to copy one to my flashdisc and bring it to campus... :)

On test day, we just had to color it in Photoshop.... I adjusted the brush tool with low opacity (about 5-8% to get the soft gradation) and multiply mode, picked a color, then enjoyed the process of coloring^^

Here is the final result.....
Actually I wonder if this character seems like me or not (*someone said that it doesn't look like me T.T)..... But, it's OK... I've tried my best.. However, I'm still learning... Hope I can create better and better for the next.... :DD

Oo yaa, I have another color version.....
I colored it at my bedroom before the test day when I was bored at that time... This's just the part of my experiment...hehehe....

Well, there's no other things about this to told again.. See you in the next post!^^

My 1st Time...^^

Alohaaaaa.... \(^0^)/
Akhrinya punya kesempatan juga buat ngisi blog yang padahal udah dibikin dari tanggal 26 April lalu... Soalnya banyak kerjaan sih... Mulai dari ngerjain tugas kuliah, ngajar, sampai mengkoordinasi tim dekor untuk kegiatan Waisak+Ultah Dharmayana di kampus... But, that's all fun! :D

Ok... first, let me introduce myself...
Namaku Erin Aptria, lahir di Jambi n tinggal di sana sampai lulus SMA... Trus ngelanjutin kuliah di Untar Jakarta, Fakultas Seni Rupa dan Desain, jurusan DKV sampai sekarang (semester 4)...

Sebenernya udah lama banget aku kepengen ngeblog, tapi ga kumulai-mulai juga, sampai saatnya seorang dosen DKV-ku yang masih terbilang muda, namanya Pak Santo Tjhin menyarankan mahasiswa/i nya untuk ngebikin blog... Katanya blog itu bagus buat sarana self-branding.. Jadi, sebagai anak DKV, kita bisa istilahnya mulai 'nongol' lah, jadi orang-orang tuh bisa aware dengan eksistensi kita...*ciee... hahaha... dengan cara memajang karya-karya desain (portofolio) yang pernah dibikin...

Jadi, blog 'erinspirition' ini mungkin bakal berisi portofolio desainku, sharing-sharing berbagai jenis hal yang aku suka, sampai sharing pribadiku (as a diary)...^^
Ngomong-ngomong, nyari nama buat blog itu susah n memakan waktu cukup lama juga ya? Apalagi buat first blog... Pastinya mau nyari nama yang sebagus n secocok mungkin kan dengan kita? Nah, ini terjadi pada dirikuu... Bisa sampai sekitar 4 jam lebih loh buat ngebikin 1 blog doang, termasuk nyari nama, ngisi profile, n adjust tampilan...ckckckck..... Normal ga sih ini? atau udah sewajarnya?ahahaha....

N setelah pencarian nama yang cukup panjang itu, terbentuklah nama 'erinspirition' yang merupakan gabungan dari 'erin', 'spirit', dan 'inspiration'... Coba deh disebutin berulang-ulang... *emang mantraa??!... Secara sekilas cara bacanya seperti 'an inspiration' bukan?hehehe... Well, artinya blognya si 'Erin' yang dibikin seadanya n sesuka hatinya ini mungkin bisa ngasih spirit n inspiration buat para readers... ^^
Nah, itulah yang ngebuat aku ngerasa 'klik' dengan nama ini... :DD

Oke deh, tanpa ba-bi-bu lagi, welcome to erinspirition.blogspot.com! It's officially opened for public! :DD
If you feel inspired, get the spirit to your heart, soul, and body, then, make your own beautiful painting of life... ^^
