[Douceur de Vivre], which is a French phrase, meaning 'Sweetness of Life'. And sweetness includes the romance
which enriches your love: a pen, a rose...& music. Oh, not to forget, you'll find sweetness in ice cream too

Materials used: 2B pencil, 6b graphite pencil, A4 artblock paper, black pen size
0.2, tissue, cotton bud (for shading in narrow areas), & eraser.
Time consumed: 4 days & 5 hours per day ( due to printing errors in its
