When a Dog shakes his head... These are the colours that he see (No not black and white)

Vintage Wedding Invitation

A source of inspiration

Audrey Kawasaki had always been my inspiration. Her painting on wood are fantastic and she really brought out the emotion and expression of her girls.

I love this particular piece from Audrey Kawasaki because it really depicts me, who I am and how I feel. Like there is constantly someone so close inside me, could she be my source inspiration? or downfall? Who knows..

Sketchwalk 2012

My first sketchwalk in 2012, I joined the urban sketchers to the Feburary sketching location at Siglap. It was great, the weather wasn't too hot either.
I sketched a panoramic view of the shop houses at Siglap.

Here is the link to the Urban Sketchers Singapore facebook page and website just in case you want to join in for a day of sightseeing and sketching!

The great come back

I've been MIA for more than a year. Yes I know, plenty had happened that caused me to neglect work and my blog.

I stopped sketching for a few months last year and I actually felt like I'm missing something. But I managed to pick my pen and paper up again and now I'm back!

well enough talk, here are some recent sketch and doodles that I did




Yes I know you are wondering whats with the gory red blood stains, I don't remember what I was thinking when I did those.. I assure you its not paint, not real blood.
I even painted a tote bag.

During my MIA period I started illustrating my friend's pets and framing them up for a cost.
But I stopped after a couple of months as its too time consuming for me and I had to concentrate on other works.
Each portrait is painted digitally with photoshop brushes, I painted every strand of hair with care to bring out the texture and contrast.
Here is a picture of Cody the Pembroke Welsh Corgi beside his portrait. His owner wanted his painting printed on stretched canvas.
This is Parco, my Uncle's dog who passed away peacefully of old age last year. I did a portrait of Parco for his family and framed it myself.
Here is a glimpse of the process before delivery

Last but not least, my happy clients are their doggy portrait!
Miko the Pembroke Welsh Corgi and her portriat
Ginger the pembroke welsh corgi and her portrait

Lastly my own dog Barney looking very pleased beside his portrait.

Montage: Man and His Inhabitable Space

Based on the theme 'Man and his Inhabitable Space' I designed my 20x20cm montage that reflects myself and the things around me that describes my current feelings and thoughts.
Recently I felt more feminine than usual and had been pondering alot on my dreams and plans for the unpredicted near future.

OIC Portrait Day 7 August 2010

Attended my first OIC Portrait day last Saturday together with my friends GuiTing, YuanRu and YikChun.
I wasn't very confident as I was not good at drawing portraiture, I just though I would give it a shot as everything is worth trying.
We paid $10 to join and we earn $10 as commission for each artwork sold. I did not go with much intention to get my works sold but if someone were to buy it I would of course be very happy.

We were given 20mins to draw the model. Every 20mins there would be a different model.
It was a real challenge because I have never drawn still life within such a short time frame before.
Location: Red Dot Museum
We were given stickers to identify ourselves!
After every 20mins of drawing a model, we pin out works up on the rack for display. People would walk around to view our art works and are allowed to purchase them for $10 each.
I got to see many different drawing styles today. I was most amazed by this girl who did all her portraiture with pastel!
Its been a long time since I touched pastel

Below are some of the works I did





I managed to sell one work and earned back the $10 which i paid for signing up!
I sold an A4 size abstract drawing of the French mother and her 3 year old daughter who modeled for us. (large drawing on the left)

She was beautiful, and so was her daughter!

I also realise that I can not force myself to draw continuously the whole day, the end result won't look that good. I need rest!
so I only stayed till 5pm. Overall it was a great experience! We are most defiantly going to attend the next portrait day.

An Attempt at Portraiture

OIC Portrait Day Happens this Saturday! Me and my friends just signed up as Artists.
We are not fantastic at drawing portraiture, but everything is worth a try and experiencing.

The above image is the event poster for the OIC portrait day. Click to find out more!

Below is my attempt at drawing a portrait of Sean in class this afternoon.
It doesn't really look like him in my opinion.
And below, is a sketch of Pet Safari, East Point Mall outlet at Simei. I went there after class to look at animals and noticed the well decorated back entrance.
I had a thing for animals, perhaps one day I shall sketch a live animal!
Sketching animals is not going to be easy. I attempted once and gave up because they won't keep still!
