Hi all...it's been a while since my last post in this community. I have been having an art block for almost a year now. For some reason, I feel that I am less motivated to produce any artwork. But it doesn't mean I have not been drawing or painting for that long. I still draw or paint now and then whenever inspiration strikes. I also draw fan art depending on what inspires me at a particular moment.
This fan art painting is inspired by one of my favorite K-Drama - Fated to Love You. This drama was aired on MBC from July to September 2014. Yeah, I know, it's an old TV show, but it was so good that I rewatched it several times. This drama is an emotional rollercoaster, you laugh, you cry, and you grieve with the characters. But of course, the main reason I like the show is because the main actor, Jang Hyuk is my long-time celeb crush 😍. In one of my posts, Girl Power | Three Reasons I Fell In Love With Cardio Boxing, I talked about him a bit because he inspires me to stick to my workout routine 😆.
You are wrong if you think I am a K-drama addict because I am not. I only watch anything with Jang Hyuk in it and ignore the rest. I am a minimalist when it comes to entertainment or most things in my life. Here's one post, The Minimalist Lifestyle | How I Incorporate Minimalism In My Day to Day Life - A Peek Inside My Daily Routine that tells you how I practice minimalism daily. But let's not talk about that now, and please forgive me because I often go off on a tangent 😁.
Now let's focus on the painting.
Here is the source image for this painting. You can find the credit underneath the picture.

I edited the picture digitally to produce a stencil outline. Then I traced it on my drawing paper. It's a simple process but a fun way to create creative artwork. There are many ways you can use the outline. I can doodle in it or draw whatever patterns I like to fill up the outline. When it comes to art the possibilities are endless. The point is to enjoy the process and have fun doing it. I often feel pressured to produce a certain outcome in my drawings. This makes art less enjoyable and feels forced. I guess this is the root cause of my art block. I need to let go of my perfectionist tendency and be like a child again in my approach to art.
I really enjoyed painting this fan art because I don't have the added pressure to produce something that must have a monetary value attached to it. Since this is fan art, I obviously can't sell it or risk violating the MBC's copyright.
If you are wondering what materials I used to produce this painting, I listed them down here
- A4 size 300gsm watercolor paper
- Faber Castell watercolor pencils
- Derwent Inktense ink pencils
- Markers and black fine liners
And, of course, the progress photos which are self-explanatory.
That's it for now. If you read this far, thank you. I appreciate it so much! Kindly give me a follow if you like my content. I mostly write about making art, life musing, and our mundane yet charming family life here in Klang Valley, Malaysia.
