Portraits of a Portraiture


I have so many decisions to make in life. Starting with what to pursue next. Let me tell you one thing though, all my life I have been so interested in arts especially portraits. I love drawing pictures of people that inspire me and of the people that I love. But, what life has decided for me is that I should move forward and pursue something with relations to Law. However, I still draw portraits on the sidelines.


Whenever I draw portraits, though it may not be perfect, if you observe all the details that I put into that makes it look similar to the person in the picture taken; you can feel the combination of the feelings of sadness, happiness in myself. I draw for a reason and I draw only when I feel like it. When I decided to pursue Public Administration for my Diploma; I left my passion towards drawing portraits for 2 years. In Semester 4, when my Diploma was about to end was when I decided to kick things started again for my portraits and to my surprise; I was able to draw better back then when I thought that I had forgotten all of the skills of drawing.

I don't have talent but I do have passion but life doesn't seem to want me to pursue that passion and just wants me to do it from the sidelines. I know that there are other people that are better than I am. My confidence level has always been low as I can never bring myself to show people my creation. Frankly, I am a copy-paste kinda artist. I don't have the talent to come up with something that is fresh and out of this world. I draw real people and celebrities that inspire me to do better in life or just those who attracted me especially in Japanese dramas. HAHA

I have drawn and paint about 20+ drawings but I can only out some of them here.

So, basically down below are some of my drawings that I may say I am proud of showing;


This picture is my left hand. I drew it one night right after I finish my final exams for Semester 4. It just click to me that Allah has given me a lot of blessings in life and that he had detailed everything there is to know about us that differentiates us from one another. My hand is smaller than others but what amazed me is that I could play the piano well with it. :P
 Next, is Yoona from SNSD. I got the inspiration to draw her while I was watching the show Love Rain, a korean drama of course. The character she played in the drama was witty naive and cute; which is the opposite of what I am and that attracted me to her.


The third drawing is of my cousin Mohamad Firdouz Bin Sazali.
He requested me to draw a portrait of him. I tried using 3 media that consists of watercolour, felted pen, and colour pencils. This is what I came up with that is totally reckless and out of the box.

 The fourth one is Haruma Miura. I drew about 3 pictures of him as I was sooo in love with all his dramas and movies; well not all of them; those that I like were Boku no Ita Jikan, Last Cinderella and Koizora. Though he may look gay because of his skinny appearance but to me he will always be Hiro or Hiroto in Last Cinderella and Koizora






The fifth one to your right is Taka from One Ok Rock. My favourite band!!!! I know that a lot of people might say that all of the fans will always root for the vocalist and not the rest of the members. It's a given to be a vocalist. Well, Yes, That is true and I will not deny that fact. I love Taka because of his voice, his cute looks and actions. His song making skills are out of this world and all of One OK Rocks songs can really connect with all of the situations that I've been through. It may be wrong for me to say this, but One Ok Rock's songs help me got through my last two tough semesters during Diploma :)


This is Dhia. I don't know her full name but she is my sister-in-law's niece. She is witty and sweet. She caught my attention one day when I was browsing through the photos my brother took in his computer.


 Next, is a portrait of my second brother, Mohd. Nasih Ulwan. When I drew this picture of him, to tell you the truth I really miss his presence in our home. I cried everytime I send him to the airport. He was having a bad time during his studies in IIUM, so I decided to give him support through this portrait. I always wish him the best in life and that he will always be my favourite brother. He is mean, I may hate him sometimes, but I love him to death. He is my brother in this dhunia and akhirat.



 Lastly ,Yang Emirra. She is a fashion icon and my inspiration to follow the flow of fashion and yet still being myself. So yeahh, this goes to her!
