Drawing date : 4th November 2017

Jogjakarta is well known for its tourism and I admit it. Even though it become little bit barren, hotter and more pollution filling up the city now, Jogja still hold no.1 tourists favorite place to go on holiday. When holiday come, suddenly bunch of cars from other cities spreading around the roads, makes traffic jam on every corner (such a disadvantage of being popular tourism destination). This spot was my favorite place to hang out when I was a teenagers. It has been renovated many times and this drawing is the recent looks that Jogja get recently. You will get the best atmosphere after rain, perhaps cooler than Paris (lol I'm exaggerate) especially at night. Lots of street musician, performers and artists gathering at Malioboro on Saturday night which make this hang out place attracts more visitors. Sometimes events (both modern and traditional events) are often held in "Monument Serangan 1 Maret" that located in the corner of intersection, allowing the visitors have a blast moment without any regret. Probably my drawing is not able to describe those descriptions above but I really want you who read my blog to get a reference about Malioboro from my perspective. 

PS : I'm originally born in this city.

November, 10th 2018 Illustration title : Kendou Illustrator : Destiana (me) Drawing media : Wacom on Photoshop Drawing date : 26th August 2018 If we talk about Japan, we can't separate it from culture and neighborhood's warmth. I really amused by places where local value showed in building & urban design and neighborhood social interaction. They didn’t built their houses by purpose to attract tourists I guess, they just make their own houses with what they believe is good in many aspects, including culture. I can feel the warmth of the houses or buildings as if I can feel the warmth of the people just by looking at them.  If I have a chance to spend 14 days in Japan, I will go to lot of enchanting urban spots to draw all of them since I love to draw especially nature, urban and architectural objects. 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.      Shirakaw...
