"You Won't Be a Tool, but a Person Worthy of That Name"

As I watched Violet Evergarden on Netflix, I really enjoyed it so much that I'm waiting for the 2nd season! I have to thank my sister for the recommendation.
Violet Evergarden is about a girl who was a soldier tool for war, was for Gilbert Bougainvillea but he treated her as a human, raised her and even named her Violet.


He named her that he wishes she'll grow up to be as beautiful as the flower.


After the war, Violet became an Auto Memory Doll and searching the meaning of that last words Gilbert said to her before the collapse in the battlefield. It was a very interesting journey she had as well as quite emotional.

With the scene of when Gilbert named her, episode 4, as the flower showed up and the quote, I was inspired that I had to paint the flower, that would show my interest of Violet Evergarden and thought it's perfect for my illustration.




I have been using gouache paint and the thought of the black paper for the background with the violet flower colours of violet and green gives more striking.

Even though the line from Gilbert that I watched was - "I have a feeling you'll grow into the name when you're older". I suppose it was set in the UK English language on subtitle/caption. Here's proof-


Anyway, it was a great anime series to watch, as I mentioned before from the last blog: The Sunshine from Summer Sunset, there are more brilliant anime films and series. So now, I'm waiting for Violet Evergarden 2nd season AND March Comes In Like A Lion 2nd season.


Very fascinating website design of Violet Evergarden quotes collection, the background of these captured scenes from the quotes - https://sharjournals.wixsite.com/quotediary/violetevergarden

The Monarch | Illustration

The Milkweed butterfly, also in another name of the Monarch butterfly, inspired me when I watched BBC's Spy in the Wild Series 2 in February. In episode 2 "The North", in this scene located the mountain in West Mexico, with the Spy Hummingbird capturing the place that's considered the world's most beautiful natural gathering, where the Monarch butterflies hibernated during the winter. It was Spring, the Spy hummingbird flying around millions of butterflies resting on the oyamel fir trees (I just looked it up of what kind of tree because I can't remember what it was, hehe). When the sunshine on them, warmed their delicate wings, then started to fly. And when they fly, it was absolutely spectacular, all orange and flow through the trees. I imagined myself in there, underneath them and watching them as they migrate to North. I felt calm and delight thinking about it, it was awe-inspiring. Being called the Milkweed butterfly is because they feed on

Bloom Wildly | Illustration

It's nearly the end of May, the weather for the last week of the month has been sun shining and over 22c of temperature, such lovely weather. So yesterday, I have been painting the dog rose flowers, that just blossomed nearly 2 weeks ago! Right now they're blooming quite wildly in my home garden and the front! This bush even grows over the tree, makes it so enchanting it's like in a magical summer garden. And with the wall, this can hang further that I can go underneath it for some shade. This one is new from the front as it hasn't grown there before, so it's the first time seeing this. And it's already climbing up the birch tree! It looks nice to look at through the window, where I work on some arts, plus good for some inspirations to illustrate! Whilst I was painting, I did another timelapse video on this. Seems I find the time-lapse illustrating very fascinating and satisfying, you can see the process in fast speed, rather than the normal speed that'll t
