Between deadlines are the most creative time of my entire illustrating career. The feeling of uncertainty or unfulfilled are somehow became a good reason of why I create. Back in the time I felt unhappy with the day job, writing boring papers or waiting for endless feedbacks from clients, I came up with Daily Drawing, the visual diary I drew everyday. I even discovered the joy of drawing 11 years ago, as I got bored with my life as jobless undergraduate.

These past weeks, I worked together with a communication team to design conference collateral materials. In boredom, I discovered a Japanese illustrator, Nimura Daisuke. I showed his works to some of my team members and colleagues, they said "isn't this yours? I thought it was yours, it's so similar!" (thank you, but I think his drawings are more dynamic). Honestly, I could not stop thinking about his composition and use of colours days after. 

I tried 2-color scheme for these portraits of awesome girls I knew. I think I should call these series as "Awesome Friends".
