3D'Clay'ArtFun

Today I stayed in school till way pass 8pm to finish up my clay sculpture.
I had the weekends to think about what to sculpt for my 30cm high clay assignment for this module.
I'm having 3DArtFun now, I guess we are suppose to explore everything 3 dimensional.
We started with clay, I heard its wiring next. I bet my fingers are going to break, I tired wiring before 2 months back when I took up a short course at EggStory Digital Arts School.

So after much consideration, I decided to sculpt Totoro!
A character from the animation 'My Neighbour Totoro' created in 1988 by Hayao Miyazaki.
Hayo Miyazaki is a fantastic animator and a darn good story teller, his animation really brings out the wildest imagination one could ever imagine.
And to have convert them to animation and show the world, I really give it up to him. I always wonder how he does it, I could never get myself to illustrate my dreams/imaginations.
I tried telling my boyfriend about those quirky strange dreams that i often had at home, and he just thinks its weird.
Then again weird can be the next in thing right? Haha, I'm going to illustrate more from now on!

But first, here is my Totoro!


I can't wait to fire it.

A date with my Sketchbook

Some sketches which I did recently while I was out.
Bridal Store at Orchard Delfi, I sketch this while waiting for a friend.
And while waiting for my dad to come pick me up outside lavender station on the 24th, I spotted this Wall's Ice Cream stand!
The unique thing about this is the fact that its run by a women instead of a man! Middle age women in fact, usually you see uncles in their 50's instead.

The Grand Opening Address

New blog for my new aspirations and journey!

From here on I shall blog about my life as a Temasek Design Student, my thoughts, inspirations, sketches, doodles, designs. Basically my journey as a creative individual.

I should have started doing this since I graduated in ITE and entered Temasek Polytechnic since April 2010 this year, but I guess it is never too late to start!

A short summary if you don't know me, I graduated from Ang Mo Kio ITE this year as a Digital Media Design (Video Effects) student. Video Effects wasn't my cup of tea, so i entered Temasek Polytechnic to pursue a diploma in Visual Effects.
I hope to be an Illustrator and Graphic Designer in the future.

I always carry a sketchbook with me where ever I go as I love to sketch, doodle, brainstorm on a design while on the go.
But ever since I had 'Drawing Essential' module in Temasek Polytechnic under Mdm Tia a lecturer, I started to carry 2 sketchbooks instead one 1.
One for watercolour, another for ink/penciling.
Mdm Tia was a great lecturer and an excellent artist. I refined my sketching skills and learned how to splash coffee stains and use watercolour under her! How cool is that?
Ever since her module, I started to have a new hobby! A sketching Hobby!
Instead of plain black and white pencil doodles, I now have the courage to draw in Ink and apply colours!

I couldn't thank her more.
