Sketch

Some sketches I did of students in class.

A student of mine has been urging me to upload new works, well...ya, I really hadn't been doing a lot of drawing and sketching recently...till last Saturday when I went to Singapore Zoo with my sis, brother-in law and their two kids. I only got four pages done that day and here is the two that are better than the others. It's good to start sketching again, hope I will keep this habit going from now on.

Happy Valentine's day

A digital work I did recently with Painter.

Doodle

A small doodle (about thumb size) that I did while watching a tv show. I started from the eyes when I saw the beautiful eyes of the actress in the show.

The Devoted Friend

Another painting by P.J. Lynch that I'd copied.

The Selfish Giant

This is a copy of P.J. Lynch's painting for a story titled "The Selfish Giant". As I have been a big fan of the illustrator for a long time, I recently decided to start making copy of his paintings. So I went to the library and borrowed a bunch of children's books he illustrated. After going through the books I couldn't help but to go to the internet to read more about him and his work. To my surprise, I actually found his blog. I am very impressed by the work he put up on his blog and the fact that he has time to blog despite the time and energy he put into his work.

His paintings are so well thought out and detail that making this copy made me understand true artist really go the extra miles.

Mel's Birthday

I found this in an old book...nah...I did it for Mel's birthday. I started out skecthing Misty, Mel's cat, in brown color pencil and later black pen. After that I thought it would be nice if I could just do some paint dripping on the image and then I went on to do more stuff on it with paints, sometimes just to cover up the part that I don't like. It was fun, more like exploring with different mediums. In the end I really hate myself for adding the paragraph at the bottom. I think it steals the mood of the image. Other than that, it was a good experiment for me.
