About Me

December 2013 @Chennai

        My name is Tluangtea Khiangté, better known as Massa/Masseu/Tluangte. I love drawing, and at the moment mostly portraits but I will eventually learn more. Art is not my major and I learn it myself, so I don't have much choice but to keep it as my hobby, I love my major, computer science & engineering as well. So I draw, and blog them here. I hope you enjoy my blog.

Thank you,

Masseu, 2013/01/13

Update [2014-07-23] I don't do these[below] anymore...

Most of my drawings appear either brownish or black and white, and sometimes with darkened edges or corners and some look grainy. I think I should explain that because it looks unprofessional.

I don't have a proper digital camera, and since most of my drawings are done at night, without proper lighting it gets difficult to capture clear pictures. I use a camera application called Camera 360 on my android mobile for taking the pictures. There are some effects there and I usually use either Movie or Memory under the LOMO effect. I have also started using Enhance>Cool effect.

Then I transfer it to my computer and use Picasa to do all, or some of these:

• crop
• add some shadow [to darken it a little]
• desaturate [makes it black and white]
• warmify [This gives the brown colour]
• and add film grain [This give the noise/grain]

I do not actually fix the drawings or make changes to the pencil marks.
