Yep, you read the title right. Despite the repetitive syllable, it sure is a real conversation. 😏
Imagine hearing this conversation in a foreign country. 🤣 And-- the language is Tagalog (Filipino).
Lemme break it down for you.
This conversation usually occurs in lobbies or hallways when taking the elevator.
Jiji: Bababa ba? (Is it going down?)
Anon: Bababa. (It is going down.)
Jiji: Ah.. bababa. (Oh, it is going down.)
Anon: Opo, bababa. (Yes, it is going down.)
Concept and sketch
Since this is just a quick illustration, I just straight up did the lineart. I am just relying on my memory right now. The character I used is my Jijisaur avatar and my dino (no name yet up until now). So my idea is just a one-panel comic (if that is what is called). I just searched for a funny Filipino conversation on Google. There are a lot of nice dialogues, to be honest, but I chose this confusing one, haha!
I tried to write the letters but seems like my penmanship is unreadable so I better used the Text tool.
For the coloring, I just used the color pick tool and bucket tool. Life is easier with these tools if you know to use them properly. By the way, I am using Clip Studio Pro Paint.
I chose a gray color for the speech balloons and neutral purple for the background. There is nothing much to say, haha!
I did this illustration for 30 mins. but took much time looking for the perfect dialogue, and got distracted reading them, haha!
That is it for this art blog. I will see you at the next one!
