This artwork is created using multiple layers with vibrant Sakura Micron Pens. Through the meticulous technique of cross-hatching, I aimed to capture the pure joy radiating from my subject's expression. The interplay of colors and layers highlights the emotion and depth of the piece, celebrating the versatility of Sakura pens.

The feeling of joy is indescribable, but I decided to start simple and convey the theme with a child flying a kite and expand on that concept with an infinitely vast landscape.

The artwork depicts the picture of a family shaped like square dining table symbolizes unity and simplicity. Through time, each children will eventually build a family but touching of shoulders and hands assures connection of the family growing bigger. This holiday season, it is the time to reconnect, reunite and reconcile the family we have. The combination of Pointillism and line art adds texture for the Christmas Sweater design for each member of family.

"一路上来来往往的“人”那么多
当我一层层剥开它们的心
没有惊喜,和预想的没有区别
毫无意外
所以你应该去触摸自然,看万千世界
这辆车和下一辆车都一样
而这片叶子绝不会和下一片一样
他们灿烂,炽热,纯粹!
人,生来孤独,真正的愉悦应该是宁静
不是心动,是心安
找到心灵的休憩之所,和灵魂深度对话 见万物!
见天地!"

The joy of unlimited imagination. In our dreams, fish can swim in a river of flowers and have butterfly wings. The image reflects the joy of freedom. My technique mixes several materials: Pigma Micron pens 003 and 005 were used to create the illustration. Then, for coloring, Water Colors Koi and Coloring Brush Pen Koi (Earth and CANdy) were used. For light effects, Gelly Roll 0.5 and 10.

This image tells my happiness in the year of the wooden dragon, where I was accepted to study for undergraduate degree in Architecture Engineering at Gadjah Mada University (UGM) Yogyakarta, Indonesia. A woman is seen carrying an architect's tube being escorted by a wooden dragon to the UGM campus. UGM is the best campus in Indonesia, the number 1 engineering faculty in Indonesia and number 316 in the world (according to the QS world University ranking, 2024). The background of the image is the road to the UGM Yogyakarta campus which I drew with a bird's eye perspective. May God Bless me, and success in pursuing knowledge at the Faculty of Architecture Engineering UGM Yogyakarta, Indonesia. 🏆Greetings Art, Stay Enthusiastic🏅

The happiest moments in life often come from the carefree and magical days of childhood. During this time, happiness feels genuine and often arises from the simplest experiences. The city in the background symbolizes the present—a busy and ever-changing world, portrayed with darker tones to emphasize its contrast with the innocence of childhood. The deline technique, using intricate dots to create depth and shading, enhances this contrast and gives the piece a dreamlike quality. However, the child blowing bubbles serves as a reminder that the magic and joy of childhood still remain within us. The bubbles, with their lighter surroundings, are delicately detailed using softer dot density, symbolizing cherished memories that float through time. These memories bridge the past and the present, continuing to bring warmth, joy, and reflection to our lives.
