Once upon a time, I loved to doodle. Â That was two years ago. Â Surprisingly, the pen I have bought for this very purpose still works. Â It is a surprise because these sort of pens do dry out over time. Â On that thought, I shall stock up more of this sort the next time I hit town.
The title of this doodle -Â Moon Tower: A Builder, A Girl, And A Mysterious White Rabbit – is the same as the story I wrote one entry before this one. Â If you have read the story, you should be able to interpret this doodle with little difficulty.
Drawing is therapeutic. Â This evening, I needed just that. Â So exhausted after a long, long day at work, I did not even have the energy for active entertainment like playing video games or socializing through Google+. Â I picked up my pen, some sketch papers, and started doodling.
Like how the story was crafting, I was about to give up on the initial concept after the first attempt. Â I started with the tower. Â It was too structured. Â Too boring. Â Perhaps my drawing is a reflection of my life, which in my case, is currently dominated by work. Â On my second attempt, I have refocused the drawing around the three main characters. Â And then developed the rest from the main theme, with an abstract touch. Â This doodle was initially drawn in landscape orientation, on a A3 paper. Â As I added more contextual materials onto the painting, I feel that it is best to be viewed in portrait. Â Of course, now the northern side of the island appears on the bottom and hence, looks like the south instead. Â That is rather unfortunate. Â But I suppose that is one way to break the structure eh?
