Assalamualaikum!
Hello! I'm blu, a 19 year old self-taught Indonesian muslim artist who loves to draw fan contents of the things i love!
FAQ
How long have you been drawing for?
I have been drawing since I was 4 years old, specifically I've been drawing traditionally for 15 years and drew digitally for 5 years! :3
What tools do you use to draw?
For traditional art i use a 2b, 0.5 mechanical pencil to sketch and shade my works! the brand i usually use is joyko and kenko. i use stabilo boss pastel highlighters and faber castell 48 colour pencils for colouring
For digital art I'm currently using a wacom intuos small comic tablet and the software I'm using is clip studio paint and paint tool sai 2
How long does it take for you to finish an artwork?
it depends on the complexity and which style of the artwork! with full rendered pieces that doesn't require a background, it usually takes around 2 - 6 hours, and for full rendered pieces with a background it could take around 6 - 14 hours!
why do you usually say "All praises are to Allah" when you're replying to someone complimenting you?
I'm muslim and in islam, we have an expression called "Alhamdulillah" which translates to "All praises are to God". It's the equivalent of saying ' Thank God' and we usually use that expression when something good happens, when we're relieved and in my case when receiving nice comments!
( This next part is my own personal belief so not all muslims/people think this way!) I personally believe that Allah implemented the love i have towards art which gives me motivation to work hard and get where i am today! If it wasn't for the love Allah has given me for art i don't think I'll be making art today because I'd quit a long time ago, so i like to express my gratitude as much as I can to God :3 Other than that, saying All praises to Allah whenever i receive compliments helps me humble myself and it's my go to response whenever i don't know what to say after receiving a compliment :")
I had people ask me how to respond to this expression, you can also respond with alhamdulillah! it's not exclusive just for muslims, everyone can say it. it's alright if you don't respond to it too, so don't feel bad or obligated to respond to me whenever I say "all praises are to Allah", it's an expression after all :3
why do you not like to be associated with any God/diety?
I'm a monotheist, a monotheist is someone who believes in one God. In my belief, it is very offensive to associate god with another being, let it be an inanimate object or a living object.
I would very much appreciate it if people refrain from associating me and my artworks with god whenever they compliment me! Please do not say "you're a god/goddess" "you're god tier" "you're doing god's work" etc, because i simply find it very uncomfortable, even if it's in a joking manner ;w; I'm human just like you! thank you for your understanding in advance <3
how did you know bts?
in 2015, i was watching a reaction video of youtubers reacting to kpop videos, in that video, dope was shown! i've always been into k-pop since i was little because my sister was into it, but i've never really been that invested in any groups until i met bts!
i think what really got me into them was their hyyh era, i was 12 - 13 that time when that era was released, and their songs really resonated with me, especially run! i wasn't immediately a big fan like i am now, it was a gradual process of me discovering them, casually listening to their music, and then resonating with their lyrics and finding out more about their personality and background!
it's now my 6th year of being an army! i hold them dear to my heart, iin a way, i really did grew up with them! i may not be there since the very beginning but i'll be here until the end <3
whats your favourite album/era/songs?
my favourite albums are the most beautiful moment in life pt 2, you never walk alone, love yourself; tear and map of the soul; 7
( bonus: i love mono and hopeworld too)
my favourite era of all time is hyyh, from the most beautiful moment in life pt 1 & 2 as well as young forever. that era means a lot to me since it was my first introduction to them, and the era i resonated with most!
my favourite song is RUN run is the one song i'll never get tired of. I can listen to it for a whole day! other than that, i really like black swan, 134340, blue side (full version), singularity, shadow, tokyo, my time, hold me tight, tonight ( by jin) blood sweat and tears, outro: ego, and many-many more!
do you have any other interests?
yep! i'm a really big nintendo nerd, i love their DS games! Pokemon diamond and pearl (best gen ever i do not take criticism) and the harvest moon series (now known as story of seasons!)
i love animes, movies and dramas too, though i don't watch them as often as i used to before :') i love psychological horror, morally grey, angst, crime genres! I also really like learning about international relations subjects, especially about world conflicts and diplomacy :3
why ducks?
BECAUSE DUCK SUPREMACY... THEY ARE JUST VERY NICE. LITTLE WATER BIRDS WADDLING AND QUACKING....I LOVE THEM
