Pencil sketch

There is a lot of materials for us to create an artwork such as oil paint, acrylic paint, colour pencil, charcoal, ink and pencil. One of the material that I prefer is pencil. By using pencil, I can create a lot of techniques such as cross hatch, horizontal hatch, vertical hatch, blend and dot to create different effects. B series pencils are important for me to improve the tint, tone and shade of an artwork. For example, HB pencil helps me to produce light tone effect. According to the number of B series pencils, the increases the number of B pencil, the darker the tone can be produced.
In my opinion, I don't think that we can only use colour to produce interesting artwork since pencils may help me to create a lot of interesting effect.
This is an artwork that created by using B series pencils.

It is a good example for us how to be creative as it break the traditional concept of fairy tale.
It is a big changes among all the fairy tale since nobody can expect the sad ending.
It's just like we have to create something different to discover and develop our creativity.

Basketball

Less people know that the diameter of a regulation basketball is 25cm. And the diameter of a basketball hoop is approximately 45.5cm which mean a basketball hoop is larger about 20cm than a basketball. This 20cm is a very hard and also far distance for every basketball player. People might think that it is a boring and even a dumb game since 10 players run here run there until sweating and tired just to fight for a ball. But once they did it, their future will be bright. Some people play basketball just because they really love it. Basketball is just like their spiritual. People play it no matter they feel happy, excited, angry, upset and even lost. They enjoy the feeling like flying in the sky. This help them to forget everything when they are playing basketball. Some people play basketball just for exercise. Some guys play basketball just to get attention from girls because they think themselves are charming when playing basketball. Some people play basketball just to earn money if they win a contest.  Some girls watch basketball contest just because they think that basketball players are so charming. Besides, basketball make people understand teamwork is important since solo will never work. Teamwork and time limits of contest  make us believe that never give up before the final whistle, nobody will know the answer until the last moment. No matter what reason, interest should be the main reason for a person to play basketball since this is the only long last motivation that can make them play basketball until they cannot play it anymore.
A creative idea is recognized if we develop it. When we are working, we have to finish our work before the deadline that given by client. Therefore the progress is extremely important. Work in team may help us especially in brainstorming since our team members may provide us a lot of new idea that we never discover.
But the most important is design must be our interest so we only have motivation to develop our idea and achieve it. 
This is the my first postcard design by using photoshop. Thank to my friend who teach me to use photoshop.

Time Machine

Human are quite contradict. Sometimes, we wish to turn back to the past but sometimes, we wish to go forward to the future.
When I was a kid, I wish to have a time machine. So that, I could see how am I doing in future and even how big the changes no matter successful or failure. When I was facing a lot of problems, I wish to "go to my future" to see how am I going to solve all these problems. Therefore, I don't have to squeeze my brain juice to think of solution.
The feeling is hard to be described when I am seeing my old photos.
When I am getting mature, I am thinking that how good if  I could turn back to the past. When I missed out something important, I will think that how good if I could turn back to the past. When I was regretting with what I had done, I wished to turn back to the past to prevent the problem caused. When I was thinking of the past, I wished to go back to the happiness moment and even stay at that moment forever that will never appear in my life anymore. When I had made a wrong decision, I wished to turn back to the time that I haven't make the decision.
Unfortunately, there is no time machine such thing in my life. The only thing that I can do is accept the fact, face the problem and solve it.

Magic Wand

I wish, I wish and I wish to have a magic wand.
Every people wishes to own a magic wand if it's really appear in this world.
Unfortunately, people nowadays just want to fulfill their own desires without any effort.
The feeling was so terrible when  I saw my friend's work was better than mine.
Not because of jealousy but self-abasement.
I can only blame myself because of my laziness.
If there is no pain, there won't be any gain.
Therefore, I believe that if I put more efforts, a tablet pen or even an ordinary pencil can also be my own magic wand.
