I found Pak Suhendra in Blogger

It was a nice surprise. Indeed it is nice to see my teacher (even) only through a blog, Pak Suhendra Yusuf, a linguist, a translator, a consultant, a warm teacher.

It was this morning while I was googling for my campus address and phone number I found two blogs written by him. The first one was "translating and interpreting 1" an article, actually it is a book, consist of 95 pages discussing theories of translation accompanied by aple practive to check students' progress. The other was a reseach report that had presented in Ministry of National Education, "Tingkat Literacy Mahasiswa".

The nicest thing to me is that again I have an opportunity to improve my self by learning from Pak Suhendra, even only through his blogs. I am now in a process of building my career as an English teacher and it is my believe that a good teacher is proved the by ability write a course book and to get it to publish so that wider range of people can get benefit from it.

I learned something, some important things today.
And it is from you, Pak Suhendra.
It is from your blog.

Let's leisure......

It's been a while now!
I long to see the sun set in a windy warm afternoon in Pangandaran beach.
The sound of waves is fading as feeling of released, free, done,..... come approaching.
I'm through today. I'm resting. See you tomorrow.
By, now.
That's what you say, Sun.

My new sketches : Mr. TAG

I tried to make sketches of my posture. Eventually I must admit that it is not easy to do so. What I mean to say taht it is hard to find certain 'form' or 'posture' that will easily rocognized as me. There are some choices I have to make in line with style; will it be a cartoon like 'short figure' or 'normal figure'.

In today's posting I placed the short figure one with casual wears; short pants, jogger t-shirt, and sandal. It was a apparel that I wear when I found the idea of making myself figure. The black short 'beach' pants decorated with grey round flowers around. While the white t-shirt is a product of Jogger Bali decorated with square picture and writing. The color is white and the picture green in the base color. The beach sandal color is pale grey.



In the future I want to place these images in any printed paper works or presentations. Ok then, that's all for today.

Cheers.
TAG

Then I try to draw and draw, while I should tell a story

I started to draw and placed them on my blog because I want to tell story to my little daughter, Nalyka. I want to tell her stories that closes to her day to day activities; playing with her toys, interacting with her peers, how she behave to the elder, etc. By having our own book I [might] be able to let her create her own story someday. But it takes me sometime to draw one. Not to mention that I have to make a story book. I'm sure I'll have it done soon.... very soon Nay.

The model of this character is Nay herself. Now I'm working on a story to start with...

Getting myself used to Photoshop

It's colored now

Some of my drawings

Here are some of my drawings.

I'm starting a new Blog

Hei.... Nice to write again,

Today I going to start my new blog. It's about my new passion; making comic or illustration. I like drawing since I was a kid. As long as a could remember I always get good score on drawing. Hehe...

Until a few years ago I still do some drawings. The last thing I did was a sketch of Siliwangi Bridge with the Galery Ciumbuleuit as it background. I used pencil for sketching and pastel for finishing my work. Now it hangs on my bedroom wall in GBR.

But these days I've been a little bit busy. Chasing scholarships, preparing lesson plans, and my new daily routine has distract me from drawing. Now it seems that I'd been enlightened and curious to try new media using adobe illustrator or adobe photoshop to do drawing.

So check out my new blog!

Cheer!
