Digital art is like painting, except the paint never dries.
This local digital illustrator became viral on Twitter for recreating iconic movie scenes from some famous Malaysian movies.
All the movie scenes I redraw this year from our legendary Malaysian movie directors, P.Ramlee, Mamat Khalid and Yasmin Ahmad. May their art and vision in the movies that they made, be forever remembered as masterpieces. Alfatihah buat mereka. pic.twitter.com/9VOrcYWX1y

The tweet by Twitter user @samruzone portrayed the iconic movie scenes flawlessly. The drawing was recreated from many Malaysians favourite movies, Pendekar Bujang Lapok (1959), Madu Tiga (1964), Ali Baba Bujang Lapok (1961), Sepet (2005), and Man Laksa (2006).
The tweet itself gained quite the attention with 6.1k retweets, 10.8k likes, and 33 comments, where Twitter users are actually asking for more!
Sam’s inspiration for the drawing
“What I felt when I watched those scenes. I want to capture it in the artworks and add elements like the song lyrics or dialogue. Small small scenes but with a BIG BIG impact.”
Sam told WORLD OF BUZZ that he recreated the scenes as a sign of appreciation towards the movies. He has always loved the late P. Ramlee’s classical movies as he felt like they were always ahead of time.
Not only the late P. Ramlee, but Sam also feels like famous directors like Yasmin Ahmad and Mamat Khalid have never failed to depict our lives as Malaysians, while still inserting peak Malaysian comedy aspects in their movies at the same time.
Even the smallest character receives spotlight with them as directors.
