KOMIKON 2009 was a BLAST!

I loved the new venue! SM MEGATRADE HALL, MEGAMALL. Cooler, nicer and easy to go to.
So many indie books to buy and to get for free. Saw old friends and classmates again back in college. (Gerry and Jonas and co-members of Komikero; Hazel; Bien; Jaybee and his wife; Hubert; Jon, Mike & Melvin; Paulo, Ian, Ka'jo and Melvin.. and BK members...dami diba?) And this time I went with my young niece and brother. They all loved what they saw, specially her. It's her first time at a convention so she was looking everything and asking for photos. She even ask my fiancee to take a picture of her and the dancing Spiderman. So cute!

Anyway, the funniest part of it all is when we all went home. And when I search for my knapsack bag, I couldn't find it. That's when my brother told me that I was carrying my bag to the con and left it under our group table. Robin quickly called to check if my bag is still there. Good thing they are all still there and got my bag. I will be picking my bag tomorrow night from at his work. So yeah. I'm relaxed now. But I won't be uploading some of my commission works because it's all there in my bag.

Great weekend! Great KOMIKON!

Hi everyone. Before anything else, want to say that "I AM STILL ACCEPTING COMMISSIONS - Rates after this post.".

Again, I'm back and still have pain (terrible) on my left ankle. I will go back to visit a doctor within this week, latest would be on Saturday. Hope nothing serious. I'm a HYPER DAWG. I can't be placed in one corner and be still. I Love moving around. I love doing with my hands. She said I'm a restless person. What gave her that idea. Mwah! Love my wifey so much. hehehe!

Anyway, regarding my topic header that "I Can't Draw". I read alot of them here and to some other sites and it made me wonder, how can they say that to them. I mean, we are all created to learn and create stuff. I'm not a good comicbook artist, but I am enjoying myself to draw stuff. So, to those people (mostly kids), here are some tips stuff to remember first before you say that you can't draw.

Here goes....

Number One:
Always remember...Anyone who can hold a pencil/pen/brush or pallet..either with hands, Arms, foot or mouth CAN DRAW, CAN PAINT and create.

Number Two:
It's your will power to teach yourself to learn how to draw. Some are blessed and some are talented that's for sure, but we can teach our selves the basics/foundation of drawing (either figure drawing, animals, architectural stuff and so on and on). There's alot of site here that offers online teaching bout comics.
You can download this bookChristopher Hart: Cutting edge Anatomy [link] It's for free.

And I learn some good stuff here aslwell...LEAR TO DRAW COMICS: [link]

Number Three:
PRACTICE. PRACTICE.
Practice.
...and p r a c t i c e. I doodle on my mini sketch pad when I am goin to work. Going home. In-between office break. I don't stop teaching myself and I never stopped correcting myself. I don't consider or look at my latest work as my greatest work, mind you. Heck not everyone here are perfect.

Usually, after a week or two, there, I will look back at my previous art and there I would start seeing flaws on my work. And that's when I feel much better, knowing where my mistakes are and figuring out what went wrong and then what to do to correct it the next time. That doesn't stopped me from improving. That's my driving force to do well the next time...but still I don't see my work as good as the other works here and in the comics industry.

Number Four:
HAVE A LONG PATIENCE! That's the key. And don't criticize the works of others unless they asked for one. Remember to respect others work.

Hope this helps. Now..get a pen and start practicing.

INSERT UPDATE/ STATUS:

Hi Guys! I have some good news and some bad news. Good news is that my commission is coming in and schedules are alot busier. Thanks to for the new commission work. Also, my schedules will be in a lot faster mode. Why? Here comes the bad news...

Last night (Wednesday here) while playing basketball with my office mates, I had an accident. I twisted hard my left foot, causing me to grimace in pain on the floor for a couple of minutes. When the guys walk me to the bench, I was so much in pain, my fiancee (Robin) decided that we go to the hospital. We went first to PGH (Philippine General Hospital) but after an hour of waiting and experiencing the saddest service a government hospital have to offer, we decided to go to MDH (Manila Doctors Hospital) in U.N. Ave., Taft. There, the surrounding was so clean, so refreshing and so pleasing to the eyes. The doctors are nice (the lady doctor and nurse were very nice to us at PGH, though we forgot to get their names -sorry) and treated me quickly. After 30mins, I have bandaged on my ankle and they've given me pain killers to take.

Thanks to them doctors.

Anyway, I guess I will be doing all of my commission a lot faster. They said I must rest for 3days. So yes, I will be a couch potato for the next few days..but, me and Robin with her sister will be flying to Davao tomorrow morning to visit her mother. Timing? I guess?

So, Anyway, see you guys next week then.
Bye.

PS. Photo of me to follow.
