[no-sidebar]I have a female Persian cat named Kerri and she has been a source of joy since 2014. I decided to make a comic illustration series dedicated to her, which I will name "The Life of Kerri-chan". This is my first original comic scene called "I fit!". This shows how our Persian cat, Kerri, would be more interested in a box instead of her canned foods.  I also made this illustration called "Cat Needs Attention" showing Kerri being too needy. I was finishing some work that's already due and she kept scratching my leg as if begging for something. I gave her food but she decided to keep coming back and annoy me as she needed (or maybe 'wanted') all the attention at a very busy moment. Then, I also did this illustration called "Peek-a-boo!" Because sometimes, Kerri pops up out of nowhere and likes to surprise me with her big round eyes and cute little nose. Sometimes she'd pop up from the edge of my bed, from my wor...

There are many different brands and kinds of watercolor art supplies in the market and these are what I have acquired in the past years: Prang, Pentel, Faber-Castell, etc. These are cheap products, more like beginner sets but are totally workable! Plus, they are available in most bookstores here in the Philippines. But recently I invested in artist grade ones like Holbein watercolor tubes from Pens Galore Philippines and Escoda brushes from ArtWhale.PH . These cannot be found in the shops near my location, so I'm glad I found these online shops.

Recently, I re-gained my interest in arts, particularly in watercolor painting and doodling. I also got interested in hand lettering and calligraphy. When I got out of the hospital this month, all I think about, aside from recovery, is where have I put my watercolor pencils. I have the 12-pc. set by Faber-Castell before but for some reason we can’t find it and it’s frustrating. 3 weeks past, I think I have recovered 70% and finally got the chance to go to the mall to buy my new art supplies. I was eyeing for Faber-Castell watercolor pencils and Prang watercolor palette, which are both available at National Bookstore. I wanted something easy to start with that I can bring anywhere I go with the littlest mess possible. So I chose the 48-pc. Faber-Castell watercolor pencils, which go perfect with my water brush pens, for PhP679.75. I’ll try the Prang set in the future.   This is how it looks like. It comes with free paintbrush and sharpener. Yo...
