SKETCH'ed the tutorial

Assalamualaikum,

( Click on this picture to read my previous post)

Please refer my previous post regarding SKETCH'ed to those who wondering what this is all about. So recently, I got a request to do this tutorial. Since ramai yang sangka it was easy. Im all good to let you guys know how to get it done. Here we go! 

Disclaimer: Im just a beginner. Most of the thing I explore by myself. So theres might be something that I did wrongly (Or there is another easier way to do it but I haven't discover it yet). You are open to share any tips that i should apply. Basically, I am sharing the way I get my sketch outcome.

1. Downlaod Sketch - Draw & Paint

2. Draw an outline

Firstly, harus lah open apps and add picture to be sketch. Then follow instruction dalam gambar diatas followed dengan dua gambar kat bawah. Do click on picture for bigger view.

Untuk buat outline, use thicker point untuk bahagian luar and reduce the size when it comes to details. Oh yea, use black color.

3. Coloring

It is important to add another layer to color supaya kita tak kacau outline kita tadi. But please check jugak takut dah syok color, then rupanyaa dok warna layer outline tu. Penat je nak undo balik and warna balik nanti. Untuk pemilihan warna, please guna color picker eh (refer gambar bawah)

Im trying to get the blouse color here hahaha

4. Shading

Shading sebenarnya optional. Ikut korang la nak buat ke tak. If buat, sketch korang akan nampak more poped out. Kalau tak, dia akan nampak 2D. So, for shading sila follow step dalam gambar kat atas ni. Step hampir sama dengan coloring just you need to change to brush.

5. Removing background

If you think you're done and nak remove background, just follow step atas tu. Usually lepas remove background, you will see there are some spot yang masih tak bewarna. What you can do is, hide shading layer and start touch up sikit. Bila nak save nanti jangan lupa nak make the shading visible okay?

6. Save

Tak tahu if this is easy to learn atau complicated. I have never really share tutorial. So ini je la mampu. If agak susah nak faham, Im so sorry. I think kalau tengok video would be easier. You can just search it on youtube.

By the way, yes i am still open for free sketch. Do read my previous entry on how to get it.

Happy sketching!
Bye.

Get SKETCH'ed with me!

Assalamualaikum,

It has been a while guys, I know. Bila dah kerja ni memang takde masa nak start writing. Rajin update kat instagram and twitter je. Stick with me on instagram and twitter! Just cakap yang korang from my blog, I will definitely following back!

Nak dijadikan cerita, I did my routine sebelum tidur which is scrolling twitter. Then found a tweet ajar cara nak buat sketch. Honestly, I didn't really read the tweet. Scroll cuma nak cari apps apa yang dia pakai je. Bila dah download, tiba-tiba rasa "bijak" sangat tak save that tweet or retweet or screenshot. I... dont... know.... how... and... where... to... start.......

Meet my first sketch. Learn which part should be outline.

Another trial sketch. Learn to use suitable thickness of brush.

Another trial sketch, and feet is invisible lol

This one so special because got my signature on it lo 

Dia macam satu kepuasan tau bila tengok sketch yang dah siap. And yes, I dont draw face. Lets just stay mysterious ya? Okay, you guys can keep scrolling to see more sketch yang sempat buat. There are few more picture yang masih dalam proses.

Some of the picture ada username instagram. Feel free to visit them. Oh, boleh klik gambar untuk tengok dengan saiz besar okay?

I am open for my blog reader's sketch if ada sesiapa yang nak try and I'll do it for free! Cuma dia ambil masa sikit nak buat but i will try to make it fast and good as possible. 1 person limit to 1 picture. Bagi chance kat orang lain juga okay? Do contact me and tell me

"Hi Ajan! Im ready to be Sketch'ed!"

DM me on instagram @ajan.jpg. Tak follow pun tak apa. Just say those magic word and I'll know you're from my blog. Also, I'll be putting my sketch on my instagram stories. Lets be part of my instagram highlight?

No close date. If you still can read this, means I'm on bebeh! Just say those magic word hahaha.

BONUS: Make your sketch as your wallpaper! You guys can request to put your desire background to your sketch. Just send me your background and i'll do it for you. *wink*

Just trying to give what i could give to my readers,

Thank you for still being here,
XOXO.

Meeting my virtual best friend, Hafiz

Assalamualaikum,

2018 gonna be an epic year for me. Known this guy in socmed in 2011 and never met him (he refuse to meet me anyway lol). Finally hahahahaha pic.twitter.com/7P9pPnqFBw

— a j a n (@nurhafz_) December 31, 2017

So, as an introduction of my first entry in 2018, let me just tell you guys about this guy (padahal aku rasa macam dah muak nak tulis benda ni lol sebab dah selalu tulis rasanya). Actually, this entry Syasandeul ni request tulis. Also those yang tahu mostly get excited bila dapat tahu aku finally gonna meet this guy.

I knew Hafiz since 2011 if im not mistaken. Entah la. Masa tu kitorang masih fangirling/fanboying over Lee Donghae, Super Junior. Zaman childish dok main rebut oppa. Then, masuk universiti dan dah grad pun. Dari zaman si Apis ni payah benau nak tunjuk muka dia sampai dah berani send selfie (Gosh really before this aku kawan dengan dia, dia asyik pakai gambar oppa je lol). Tapi sepanjang kawan tu memang tak pernah jumpa.

After that 7 years we finally meet. Sebab sekarang kerja kat tempat yang sama and lagi tepat satu office. So disebabkan dah satu office, we decided to hang out!

Picture taken by Hafiz Zulkafly

Kena bagi kredit sikit sebab susah payah mamat ni berdiri nak ambil shot sampai segan beliau. Masa ni my food belum sampai lagi hahaha

Having dinner at Secret Recipe and we come out with conclusion yang Chicken Parmigiana tu actually expensive version of KFC's Chizza hahaha. Sebelum ni dah terfikir but then bila Apis cakap, I was like "THATS WHAT I THOUGHT TOO!". -- Bruh, really thanks habiskan makanan aku hahahahahahahahhahahahahahah sorry

Also, watching movie. Choosing this movie because I've never watch english horror movie kat cinema (before this pernah tengok Ju-On. Tapi aku rasa masa tu macam Ju-TAK-On langsung) and also Apis is a big fans of James Wan's movie (Boleh pulak dia ingat nama character dalam insidious yang pertama tu. I cant even-- )

Perkenalkan, ini Hafiz. Owner blog Hafiz Zulkafly. Done meet him. What can I conclude, budak ni pantang bila ada promotion hahahaha. But really, takde la awkward mana pun kan Pis?

I have already told my mum yang I will come back home late sebab keluar dengan Apis. When I got home, I showed her selfie kitorang ni. Then she said;

"Eh dia dah gemuk sikit eh?"
Apis, sorry lol XD

A day trip to Tanjung Tuan, Port Dickson

Assalamualaikum,

I know it has been a while I haven’t update anything. But hey, I would like to thanks to those who still visit my blog and leaving their footprint in my cbox. Much appreciate. I can’t promise to keep update but I will surely update if there is any interesting story to be share.

So last week, I and my housemate Dhiya (If you follow my Instagram account, you surely know this fella hahaha) went to Negeri Sembilan. We got some business to be settle at Nilai. Kebetulan aku ada kawan yang stay kat Port Dickson. So, ambil kesempatan la nak melawat Port Dickson sebab dah lama tak jejakkan kaki kat sana.

“Kitorang ingat nak pergi PD lepas settle kat Nilai. Bawa la kitorang jalan jalan weh”

“Okay. Aku nak bawa korang pergi rumah api”

“OKAY”

Now, aku nak bagi tips untuk korang kalau nak pergi ke rumah api Tanjung Tuan, Port Dickson. Especially if you guys plan untuk jalan further dari rumah api tu. To be exact, turun sampai ke persisir pantai sebelah sana. And if rajin jalan kat pesisir pantai tu, you might have found a cave.

1.  Do wear sneakers or sport shoe
2. Bring sufficient amount of drinking water
3. Stamina yang power

I was so excited, no doubt. Luckily for me, I bought my sneakers in my car. So, I change my footwear from slippers to sneakers. Why I said I was lucky? The path to go to the lighthouse is not so suitable for those who wears slippers. Sebab nak jalan beyond the lighthouse tu agak mencabar. Honestly, rumah api tu jauh dari apa yang kitorang gambarkan. 

Ni muka penat and penuh rasa insaf gais

Guess what? Sebenarnya kitorang main jalan je untuk turun pergi ke pesisir pantai. Did I mention to you guys that we are not prepared at all? Most of us tak pakai sneakers (except for me, that is why aku rasa aku lucky betul), tak bawa air mineral yang mencukupi and paling penting… stamina pun tak cukup power. For a person who are not used to hiking, this is crazy dooo.

Actually, the hardest part tu bila nak patah balik. Masa tu sumpah tak tipu rasa macam nak start penempatan terus kat situ. Tak pun nak buat signage SOS supaya ada orang selamatkan kitorang. Sempat jugak membayangkan alangkah bagus kalau tempat tu ada kereta kabel hahahaha. 

Had to upload this because my "tourist guide" yang tangkapkan gambar. Appreciated. 

Padahal rasa insecure gila tangkap gambar dengan close up teruk macam ni tsk tsk

Sebenarnya, ada orang dah bagitau supaya tak turun bawah sebab cuaca panas and not so worth it. Curiosity kills the cat man. No kidding.

Thanks to our tourist guide, Rizuan

We are driven by our curiosity to see what is in front of us. What I learn during this trip is; You will never know what you able to achieve if you never try. 

To those who are facing hardship or afraid to do something, last thing I want to say:

Youre limitless buddy,
Good luck!

Wordless Wednesday: "Oh ni saya bagi".

Assalamualaikum,

Nope this is not that typical Wordless Wednesday sebab I still going to write hahaha. Im sorry for breaking the rules.

Still remember my recent post on Wordless Wednesday? You may click here to get on that entry. In this entry, I would say that I won’t let that happen again. Sengsara okay. So this time, aku dah buat preparation. But what happen…

Aku pelik sebab masa dia tanya”Nak plastic?” and I said “Tak nak”. Bila dah habis scan barang, cashier terus isi barang dalam plastic. Aku macam..

“Eh dapat plastic ke?”

“Oh ni saya bagi”

Did I say any magic word?

Different type of Ajan on social medias

Assalamualaikum,

Im making a comeback! Not really hahaha. Tak boleh janji.

I know I haven’t update my blog for like a decade. Aku terharu betul those yang masih komen kat latest entry, yang mengisi cbox and like my facebook fanpage tu walaupun dah Iama tak update entry. I really appreciate that. Benda macam ni la yang buat aku tak boleh give up untuk tulis. Thanks J

I am facing a problem to write entry.  I know you guys would say “kitorang pun sama but update jugak”. Okay I can explain. This related dengan tajuk kat atas. Actually, I have different personalities when it comes to different social media account and this is proven by nobody lol.

1.            Facebook

Im not so active on facebook. Buat cukup syarat untuk tunjuk kat orang “Im exist”. Ni kira macam kad pengenalan untuk saudara mara, jiran jiran, lecturer and kawan-kawan sekolah yang tak pakai twitter. These people will not see any update from me pun. Tapi jadi tempat dorang tengok aktiviti aku. Usually aktiviti-aktiviti yang aku join kat university lepas tu orang upload and tag. –Dedicated and excellent Ajan on facebook guys

Plus, I can’t deactivate my account because HEY MY BLOG FANPAGE IS THERE OKAY. Kalau deactive nanti macam mana nak tengok video dari page Daebaking T^T

2.            Instagram

Kat Instagram, you will see my social life. Sebelum ada update stories, aku selalu update gambar tempat yang aku pergi, gambar makanan yang aku makan, gambar orang yang hang out dengan aku and paling penting, gambar yang aku rasa aku cantik dalam tu lol jujur. Tapi selalunya tak kekal lama gambar dalam tu sebab aku rasa ada yang tak patut aku pampangkan lama-lama especially gambar orang lain.

Tapi sejak ada stories, aku pakai ni je. Private sikit sebab kita boleh tahu dah berapa orang tengok and siapa yang tengok. And yeap, still updating my social life yang best best. Lepas tu kalau number of viewer above 30, aku dah gelabah nak delete lol Kadang tu tak cukup 24 jam dah delete balik hahaha–“I have a cool social life” kind of Ajan is here (private type)

I will share what makes me happy here. Tapi masa aku upload gambar atau video tu terasa ada sekelumit nak menunjuk kat orang atau nak buat orang lain jeles, I will delete it right away.

3.           Tumblr

Yes, I have tumblr. Siapa kata takde? Tapi I did not expose myself as the owner of the tumblr. I neither put my name nor my picture there. Tumblr is a diary for me. No more writing it on book like I used to sebab risau orang jumpa and baca. I called my diary as black book sebab setiap kali baca balik, aku rasa murung. Sebab aku tulis dulu quite terperinci and bila baca balik, jadi terasa balik. (Dah buang dah)

So, tumblr ni macam my black book but I change the way I writing my frustration dengan motivating myself back. Plus I write it guna metaphor. No name mentioned. No certain incident was mentioned. Jadi bila baca balik, aku tak ingat pun apa dah jadi dengan aku masa tu Cuma rasa macam “Whats wrong Ajan?” – Hidden part of Ajan that you’ll never know is here

Nak pesan. Jangan cari my tumblr account okay. It’s personal haha

4.            Twitter

You will read my thought here. Twitter ni lebih kurang je dengan Ajan di Instagram. Beza dia, kat Instagram Ajan ada life tapi kat twitter, seorang Ajan tak ada life. Aku suka betul membebel sorang sorang kat situ. Tempat bercerita tanpa tapisan tapi kalau masa tengah taip tweet tu ada sekelumit rasa nak menyakitkan hati orang atau ada kecenderungan membuat fitnah, aku delete right away.

I would say im “quite” friendly here. Especially when I know you guys know me, I usually selamba me-reply lol– You will see Ajan yang banyak cakap kat sini. I mean cakap sorang-sorang.

5.            Blogger

If you read comment that I received on my entry, people would say I am a funny person. Aku guna blog as tempat aku share benda yang boleh buat aku gelak or anything yang aku rasa boleh buat orang gelak. Those things I write in blog is usually based on real incident happen in my daily life. Kalau aku baca draft entry aku hambar or tak ada motif, ill delete right away. – Ajan is super funny is here yo!

As a blogger, I know I can’t share benda-benda tak sahih and benda yang memburukkan orang. Aku takkan share benda yang buat aku frust or my anger. My writing influence my reader. So guys, be responsible on what you write and share okay. (My mum is one of that makcik facebook yang percaya those stuff from blogs yang claim blah blah tak halal ada babi bla bla and I am really really really mad. So please?)

That’s how I end up write about myself here. 

So far ni je kot social media yang aku ada. If you guys have any social account mentioned above (except tumblr hahaha) do share with me. Lemme be on your friend/follower list. Im not sure if you guys ada different personalities macam ni but I am.

Focus on number 5, that’s the reason why I did not update any entry. Pertama, sebab current entry in draft sangat hambar. Kedua, tak ada benda kelakar yang berlaku atau aku tak boleh nak terjemah dalam penulisan. Ketiga, there is nothing unique in me yang boleh aku tulis. Lastly…

It’s just simply I forgot what I want to write,

Kbai.

Wordless Wednesday: No plastic bag

Assalamualaikum,

Pro tips: Sentiasa bawak extra foldable bag dalam handbag

Pro tips 2: Jangan pakai handbag besar sangat kalau tak nak jadi mangsa

Pro tips 3: Bawak troli walaupun barang korang nak beli tu sikit. Nanti senang nak bawak ke kereta terus.

Tips power: Sebenarnya pro tips atas ni takde la pro mana pun.

Padan muka kat diri sendiri sebab ingatkan tak perlu troli. Pandang rendah kat senarai barang sikit pastu masing masing lupa setiap satu barang tu ada jisim. Then bila dah lenguh pegang, baru nak "Weh kau pulak la pegang, penat" padahal tak bagi apa kesan pun kalau tukar barang. Makanan kucing tu berat jugak.

Adik beradik noob,
Kbai.

Im facing my fears. Not.

Assalamualaikum,

If you guys remember my previous entry, me and my family went to Langkawi in early January. But if you dont, you may check out my entry (here). Okay now back to our topic.

Well, sebenarnya aku takut tinggi. Aku takut nak langkah longkang walaupun dia tak jauh mana tapi kalau dia punya dalam tu deep tahap cipan, memang aku tak boleh. --Boleh langkah. Tapi somebody need to hold my hand.

Bila dah berdiri kat tepi longkang tu, akan rasa macam tinggi gila tempat aku berdiri. Plus, i have an imagination yang kalau aku langkah, aku mungkin akan kena sedut ke dalam longkang tu and i can't escape. --Seriously guys. I am not joking.

What happen in Langkawi is, we stop by kat tempat ada ikan besar-besar tau like almost 80kg. Visitors boleh bagi makan kat ikan-ikan tu.

Visitors boleh pergi kat area dorang simpan ikan tu macam gambar kat atas ni. Me and my dad yang doubt nak lalu atas tu. My sibling and my mum semua rileks je jalan. But hey, mana boleh dorang have fun tanpa aku. So i did step on that floating wood. --3 langkah je to be exact.

Then suddenly ada orang campak makanan ikan dari belakang exactly depan area ikan yang aku tengah berdiri tu. That square area terus berkocak-kocak sebab ikan rebut makanan. Based on the wave caused by the fish, I can tell IKAN TU BESAR WEH. 

Sumpah aku dah takut teruk. Jarak floating stuff dengan rumah kayu tu pun dah makin jauh and aku takut nak patah balik. So i stay still and just wait. Dengan harapan jarak simpanan ikan ni dengan rumah tu makin dekat. BUT IT'S NOT! AND THAT GUY PERGI CAMPAK MAKANAN IKAN DALAM TU LAGI.

"I don't know how to swim and i don't want to die here", tu je dalam kepala aku masa tu. At the same time aku dah imagine ada news pasal aku tergelincir ke apa ke. Aku bayangkan dalam tu ada piranha sebenarnya --Drama betul hahaha.

Then my sister yang dalam gambar tu datang kat aku. I thought dia nak selamatkan aku ke apa rupanya.. "Weh bak sini kamera". Dia biarkan aku overthinking sorang-sorang. Aku maybe takut tinggi. But this ocean, deep inside entah mana dasar dia. Plus, aku ada rasa macam kena sedut?

Tapi gigih jugak aku cuba jalan. Rasa secure sikit bila dorang tutup pakai benda hijau hitam tu. Permainan imaginasi betul. But again aku jalan slow gila sebab takut and my mum dengan my sibling dah jalan jauh.

Almost nangis,
Kbai.

2017 in Langkawi - Day 2

Assalamualaikum,

Second day in Langkawi. Island hoping is a must in Langkawi. Again, like the previous entry I plan to post gambar je.

Tasik Dayang Bunting. This is my second time datang sini. This place has been upgraded. Tempat dia looks way better than before and now kena bayar sebelum masuk dalam ni.

Tips here:

There are area ikan keli kat Tasik Dayang Bunting ni. Kalau korang rendam kaki, ikan tu akan muncul and sondol sondol kaki korang. But, please beware dengan belut. --Dia tak gigit pun. Tapi i read in some blog kata dia gigit. I don't know, i am a... coward i know.

But I'm so sorry sebab tak ada gambar untuk aktiviti tu. I was too immersed dengan ikan tu yang datang out of nowhere. Plus tengah kumpul keberanian untuk celup kaki because what i did was, celup kamera sebab nak rakam hahaha. --You can see it here though 

Look at my sister. Mula-mula takut nak masuk dalam air. Lepastu bila dia dah rasa safe, suka hati mak dia je berenang jauh jauh lol.

Lepas Pulau Dayang Bunting, kitorang sepatutnya pergi ke Pulau Singa Besar. But orang yang bawak kitorang tu suggest untuk singgah this place sebab boleh pegang penyu, gamat, landak laut (gambar bawah). -- Ada entrance fee.

Actually masa island hoping ni hujan. So nothing much. My mum yang plan tak nak basah baju pun kena redho. Aku? Asal sampai pulau je aku dengan adik aku termasuk ayah aku join lari ke pantai.



At night, kitorang wandering around Pantai Chenang. Nearby dengan tempat kitorang stay. Dalam banyak-banyak kedai, me and my sister sangatlah tertarik dengan kedai ni. Like, why not? Look at those cute accesories!

Day 2,
Done.
