Hurrah.. finally my first lucky attempt and oopps!, my not-so-great attempt.


@nggaya yippie, i was more than happy when an envelope from mangosteenskin reached my home few days ago. Thank you.. Thank You mango for all those stuffs. They are great!! Now who says "blog tu membuang masa?" keke. I was giggling when i realized there was a "urusan - blogger - blogger" on the envelope, instead the usual remark of "urusan seri paduka ." Nice take manggo. P/s : i just smooch my address, so it wont show on the pic. Kena la hati2 kan, keke. How do i get these? Check this out - Here. I am sure from non-bloggers point of view, they would say that blogging is such a waste of time and etc etc etc. Some would even go like "wahh aku mana ada masa free time cam kau. Lain la ko, banyak masa free kerja tak banyak." Sheeshh, then i just keep my mouth shut, rest my case instead of trying to win an argument on "the wonder of blogging." Since i ve actively started blogging early this year, i ve found many great things - friends, ideas, trust and courage. A melting pot of things seems it is. Initial idea of just "rattan stuffs" has lead to a mix n match of sort of things. hihi. Anyway mango, my name is not Ryzal Ahmed (sounds like i am a Pakistani..hehe) My real name is Noorizal Ramly. That Ryzal ahmed was a name that i simply put when i registered my yahoo (YM) years back. So, how do you find your blog's life? Why do you blog? Get any sarcastic remarks b4?

And this is my first attempt to draw a potrait in my whole life (gara-gara cabaran manggo). Never done this before. As for me, doing potrait is even harder than designing a whole exhibition set. Hehe. Terlupa pulak nak scan yang original kat ofis. I still need to learn and keep practicing more. Eyes and nose are somewhat skewed to certain sides. I think the eyes are too big and the whole picture looks tense. The potrait looks younger than the original- which means i didn't capture it right. But then, hey i am glad that i try this. Otherwise, i wouldn't know if i can do a potrait (yang atas tuu tak perfect ye). I know i need to keep doing, until i find certain styles that i like. Macam buat kraf rotan jugak, first time takkan sempurna. I ll post another one in the future.

Anyway, enjoy your weekend and heppi blogging ya..

phatelara April 18, 2008 10:33 AM  

Rizal! Ehemm..bestnya dapat mail. =) Your dancing little gifs made me giggle! So cute! Btw, let other non-blogging people say whatever they want. I feel the same way, blogging has opened my eyes a lot; it's like traveling, minus the flight tickets and the hassle of packing! Don't ever stop blogging ya..

Mangosteenskin: I love your art work. =)

phatelara April 18, 2008 10:48 AM  

Oh ya, if in my language (I am a Bidayuh but of Selakau tribe, from Sarawak), the basket that the lady carries is called "bangkat". My grandma has those.

pupu April 18, 2008 11:31 AM

shahril aley April 18, 2008 5:38 PM  

wahwah.... so excited bile dpt adiah dr mangosteenskin. so far no regret la jadi blogger ni bcoz leh kenai ramai kawan melalui entries yg korg post. serba sedikit boleh kenai sapa yg patut kite kenai atau tak.....

rizal April 18, 2008 8:25 PM  

alo roxy,

maghi, maghi laa buat illo. Jgn dipendam bakat tu, nanti jadilah ia bakat terpendam.. huhuhu..

alo mango,

sesungguhnya, hamba tiada pertalian dengan adlin aman ramly.. hanya nama dan mungkin mulut yang pedas dan bisa kadang-kadang..hahaha..

elo phatelara,

satu hari nanti, memang kena swap jugaklaahh ni, huhuhu, hanya masa akan tentukan. i agree with your non-bloggers thing. Hey, you should install that emoticons too on your blogspot. Ohhh, "bangkat" - see i learn something today.. who says blogging is no good? hehe

rizal April 18, 2008 8:29 PM  

alo pupu,

ha ah, i remmber, i was like just few minutes away from your post. So, that number 2 was lucky. Yup, blogging is fun.

Alo bro adiejin,

thanks for visiting yer. Hope u have enjoyed your stay here. Do drop by again.

Alo Shahril,

bukan Mangosteenskin jer, kalo dapat hadiah dari mana-mana bloggers pun memang akan excited. huhu. Memang betui tang hang kata jadik bloggers, serba sedikit buleh dapat kawan baru atau dapat spammers baru jugak..hehe

bonoriau April 19, 2008 1:57 AM  

wah wah cantik fotonya ...bisa drawkan foto saya lah ni kan.

Emila Yusof April 19, 2008 3:30 AM  

Rizal! Seronok kan dapat goodies?! Jom kita exchange art nak? What about orginal artwork on postcard size card? Manggis awak pun termasuk jua! So kalau setuju, e-mail me both your addresses!

Roxychick, up to it? Let me know!

phatelara April 19, 2008 4:44 AM  

Cantik lah potret tu. =)

mangosteenskin April 19, 2008 9:17 AM  

well done brother! see...sometimes we dont know what we can do kan until we really try. i agree the face a bit skewed (and larger than ori eyed, maybe), but overall i think it's brilliant! it could be a trademark tho.look at caricature, the faces are all skewed n tormented sometimes but we can still recognized the person. i love how u do the shading and the hair. can really see u doing it with passion. how long u did u take to finish this? what size?

ok kak emila! it would be my pleasure. DEAL!!

rizal April 19, 2008 9:33 AM  

helo pak bono,

hehe, kalau lukisan saya udah mantap, buleh ajer. Tapi ini saya masih perlu perhalusi kerja saya.. :)


helo phatelara,

t.kasih... hope i win your matchbox gift with my pantun 4 kerat there. hehe.


helo kak emi,

you are on. huhu. cume tgh wonder.. nak buat postcard size standard atc atau any postcard size 10cm x 15cm ker contohnya? tgh racun roxychick. harap2 dia join sekali laa.. huhu

rizal April 19, 2008 9:49 AM  

ehhh dah balas baru perasan manggo punyer komen masuk..

yup, i am glad i did it. Tu la, the face is a bit skewed and mata tuu cam terlebih besar buntangnya teehee. I think i was too carried away with my children's art style that i tried to simplify the face and eyes. Tu yang lari. Nevertheless, i enjoy every minute doing it. Doing potrait is a good way to sharpen your skill on observing things.

ohh it is on 17.5cm x 22.5cm working area. It is now on that book where your freebies were on. I just do all my illos on that sketch book, hoping later this year, i can flip thru all the pages seeing back what i have done this year. kira bagaikan satu reminisi anjakan paradigma tahun 2008. Took me 3 hours - 80% concentration, 20% sesambil makan ja jan, baring2 kat katil, main ngan blakie, dan surf internet. kekeke

ida.. April 19, 2008 2:54 PM  

waaaa potrait tu dah masuk blog... hehehhe.. congrate berjaya gak...

ida.. April 19, 2008 2:54 PM  

waaaa potrait tu dah masuk blog... hehehhe.. congrate berjaya gak...

mangosteenskin April 19, 2008 5:20 PM  

wah wah...3 jam tu kira hebat tu. klu saya, 3 jam mungkin x cukup utk lukis potret camtu.

rizal April 19, 2008 6:19 PM  

hihi ida, 2 kali terkomen kerr,

musti cam kes minyak masak sri murni kan? pemeringkatan dua kali..hahaha..
ha ahhh post jugak potrait nii..


helo mango,

ha ahhh rizal kalo buat illos, maks pun dalam 3-4jam.. lepas tuu memang tak buleh concentrate, sebab my fokus akan hilang...hehehe...so dalam 2-4 jam (bergantung illo) masa tuu laaa pulun fokus dan buat selalunyer.. but i love how you do illo guna watercolour.. that looks great..

ni nak mule buat trading card - atc saiz..hehe

phatelara April 19, 2008 7:07 PM  

Rizal, Kak Emila, I want to join the handmade ATC exchange. Boleh tak?

rizal April 19, 2008 7:30 PM  

buleh ajer debbie...this should be fun... you are on.. this would make four of us, plus mangosteenskin..

huhu

Beruang Madu April 20, 2008 12:32 AM  

Hi Rizal...sayang hari tu pegi kraf tu tak dapat jumpa u.. never mind, okay jugak lukisan tu... bagus buat permulaan kan...yesss

rizal April 20, 2008 11:10 AM  

itulah bro, last last sedar yang post kawan bro aka shah dah terpampang fasal HKK. Shahril pergi pun camtu jugak. Tarak jumpa. Anyway bro, thanks for the encouragement buat potrait. Selamat Hari Ahad

ida.. April 20, 2008 2:46 PM  

opsss sory maybe tertekan enter 2 kali tuhh.. heheh

rizal April 20, 2008 8:09 PM  

dah agak dah..musti tertekan 2x. ingatkan ikut konsep miinyak masak seri murni yang pemeringkatan dua kali..

ahak ahak

Jenz Iggo,  April 21, 2008 12:11 PM  

I wish I can draw my own portrait like you did. Awesome!

shahril aley April 21, 2008 2:26 PM  

awat potret lelaki itu mcm kena serang strok je. hehehe... gurau je tapi memang bagus la mengasah bakat dari tak mencube langsung mcm aku ni. hehehe... mana tau 1 ari berhasil gak boleh buat duit. org opis pernah anta gambar utk dilukis oleh pelukis di CM tapi kualiti hampeh gak tak sama langsung dgn gambar diberi.

paperclip April 21, 2008 3:20 PM  

yup it is great to give and take
surely love to do that too later
hmmm who wanna exchange gift with me?
