I'd like to make yummy delicious bento :)
So, what's a bento? A bento is a home-packed meal common in Japan. It is also the same as "baon" here in the Philippines. Bento isn't just a lunch box with food in it, but it has food art in it, like this cute bento lunch box here:

Most bentos consist of pickled or cooked vegetables, onigiri or rice, and meat or fish. Bento can be decorated like an anime character or a video game character.
Here are some examples of bento dishes:

One of my hobbies is drawing, and all I know about drawing is that it has two types or media. Traditional and Digital. Traditional drawing is by the use of our own hands with the aid of medias such as pencils, watercolors, copic markers, color pencils etc. Digital drawing is by the use of computer with the aid of programs sush as Photoshop, Manga Studio, Paint Sai and other art programs. The graphic tablet is the best friend of the digital artists. It works like a pencil and you don't need to waste time on the mouse.
Traditional or Digital? Which is better? Well, there are pros and cons on each sides. In traditional, you need to be very careful because there are no undo buttons and if you made a mistake, you have to start over again. Then again, if you make a traditional art work, it would look more alive and existing. In digital, you can use the undo button when you made a mistake, resize the drawings, and add other effects on the artwork. Sometimes, you'll not be satisfied much about the outcome, so you must keep on improving and working on it.
Like what I'm doing, I mix up traditional and digital. I do my sketch on a paper then scan it and ink it then color it.
