This transportation is somehow able to decrease the local character which gradually degraded by unwise industrialization. For only 10 years Jogja is already filled up rapidly with about 95% motorcycles and cars, no place for bicycle and other traditional transportation.

Here's the list of places that I want to draw in Japan since all of them have unique urban-sketching materials in my opinion : 1.      Shirakawa-go, Gifu

November, 10th 20 Illustration title : Nyantoka Nyaru Illustrator : Destiana (me) Media : Wacom on Photoshop Drawing date : 27th August 2018 I used to be afraid of cats back then. But now I gradually becomes a cat friendly person as I learn how to appreciate every single living thing that exist in this entire universe. I believe God creates living things by lots of complex reason behind it that makes this universe life circle works as He planned. I should be grateful of that, because I’m nothing without other living creatures. When I tried to overcome my fear of cats, I finally understood how human and animal or other living things actually related and need each other. Basically, strong bond between human and other living things created naturally when they approach each other and then care for each other. It’s kind of mutual relationship which naturally made without specified type of language intertwined or we usually named it verbal communication. I currently taking

It’s Namiya Zakkaten no Kiseki or Miracles of Namiya General Store in English. I didn’t have much expectation at first when I looked at the movie poster but well basically the poster kinda have fantasy feeling on it which makes me little bit curious about its visual effects.
