Sushi Platter

I love sushi but I kinda messed this up. Kinda of too bright. How do i draw rice??? The ginger is totally off. The only thing I like about this is the fish roe.

Boobylicious

I don't know why I kept wanting to draw boobs these few days. Haha! Her boobs supposed to be bigger but somehow my incorrect lines made her boobs smaller. The perspective and the proportion of both the hands are wrong but I'm lazy to change it so here you go. Stare at the smaller boobs. Till next time.

Just keep shading shading shading..

Should have listened to my teacher earlier, when he told our class that we should get a huge chunk of something like graphite/ chalk or pastel to lay down things quickly. I'm addicted to shading. I'm still struggling to see shapes and pinpoint the relationship of shapes to one another. I'm so lazy. I should start training my eyes instead of just randomly putting things down.


Both done with graphite crayon. Very quick sketches with a little smearing. They are pretty big so I smeared with my finger if you wanna know.

Need for bodies

Feel like drawing some hot bodies. Really bad shading here. Just trying out my graphite crayon. Really love it. I can draw pretty fast with it. Like less than 5 mins.

Sheepish

This is my second attempt at landscape, after my first failed one. The reference is in sepia. I'm struggling with drawing sheep. The photo reference is really a magnificent drawing but I failed at making it look awesome. Sometimes I really yearn for this kind of lifestyle. Travelling in a foreign land with animals, breathing and living life. Slowing down and taking a look around. Life can really be simple yet fulfilling. There are things that I want to achieve this life but sometimes one just long for more than materialism. The question is how to make the most out of everyday.

Exposure and experience is great and I long to travel the world. Anyway, dodge tool is bad for this one. There are a few marks left from doing so. Seeing big shapes in a photo is very important. I think I really need to work on human and animal anatomy. The man and sheep look not so convincing. 

Iron Bars Nom nom nom

Oh man. I really wanted to draw/sketch some stuff but I procrastinated! Anyway, I tried to at least do something tonight.

What did I tell ya! Crazy for robot. I think practice really makes perfect. Looking at my past sucky attempts. This one is slightly better. Haha. I hope you can tell it is iron man! I love that movie!

I've been trying hard on the lighting. This one took me around an hour. I'm getting faster! Loving the dodge tool. Super effective to make things glow. The perspective is off in this one. I'll start working on my perspective. In this speed painting I learnt how not to overdo stuff, especially the color or else it will turn out muddy and fake.

I know I still suck balls but I'm trying! I hope my art will be as good as my drums one day. I'll give myself 6 months to reach this target. I'll TRY!!!

 I saw this amazing korean artist play with some serious perspective. Gotta do some crazy stuff like that!

Robot Nightmare

My humble attempt to paint Master chief. No I do not play Halo. I don't know why I love robots so much. Fetish for robots. Haha.

This is my very first painting after I know the existence of the dodge tool and overlay technique. God I'm such a noob. Need to work on the colors. This looks rather muddy and dull. I think I spent 1 and a half hours at snail speed.

Need to work on:

Rendering technique.
Lighting
Perspective
Colors
Shapes

That seems like everything needs improvement! Go charlie!

Digidigi

Re-watching my favourite singers do their thing on youtube. Paused at this screenshot. The lighting is pretty amazing but I think I didn't do justice to that shot. Practicing real hard! Need to figure out hard edges and soft edges. I got them all mixed up.

This is the first drawing that I used my own color palette instead of lifting from the image. Indeed, the colors popped more than merely copying the values.

I think I used 1h. Oh well. At least it was faster than the last time I practice.

More portrait

Rough sketch 5-10mins. Trying to see tones.

I flew a kite

Flew kites today! I can barely remember the last time I flew a kite. I was still a small kid. Actually, I didn't exactly flew a kite. It was only up for a minute or so but it felt great to be fly one. Shot this with a compact camera so the quality is not exactly good. I'm getting a dslr soon! Gonna start photography again because I love it.

I got some shots with my diana f+ but I will not be developing them any sooner. I wanna wash the films at one go so it would be cheaper.

Photography is a great way to train the eye for composition, angle and lighting.

It is a super fun and exciting day with friends. I haven't had a picnic in years so it is a great feeling. If you have the chance, you should give it a go.


Peace out.

Negative Shapes

This makes my head feels weird so I guess it is good practice. I'm super lazy today so I only did 2. Going for a picnic and having jamming later.

Zoo trip

My mum got five free passes to the zoo so I thought why not. Free animal drawing. It was raining the whole day so I didn't get to see many animals and they were pretty fast so I couldn't stand there and sketch and all. I'm a slow-speed artist so it is pretty challenging to draw moving animals.

So we finally sat down to watch a seal show. I hope you can see that black stuff in the middle is a seal. HAHA.

While waiting for the elephant show to start I started to draw people sitting in front of me. This is pretty embarrassing as the mum beside me was telling the daughter to check out my drawing and complimented how well it is when it's actually looks kinda decent to me.

My brother said that I should draw stationary objects as it will be easier, which I did.

I was trying to draw the animals and watch the show at the same time. The elephant is not moving that fast but I am that slow so I messed up. Haha. This is the only animal I drew sadly. It was like a family day event so we waited for the lucky draw and had our lunch. (we didn't win by the way)

Sexy failed me

I was trying to draw someone sexy. This was suppose to be Angelina Jolie but it turns out Asian. I have no idea why this happens all the time.


I took an hour. (God this goofy little drawing took me so long! I didn't realize it till I watched the clock) I changed the eyes 3 times. Can someone enlighten me how to draw eyes? My godly friend told me not to draw eyes but put tones to suggest the eye. All i get is a dark patch on the eye. The nose seemed flat, I need more tones. I learned a bit of hair trick but still insufficient to make it look like hair. I think I overdo stuff sometimes.

I tried painting it upside down. Results, horrible. I need to force my eyes to see shape. I need more eye training.

Peace out. Gonna relax myself a little.

Portrait Juice

I'd always been afraid of drawing portrait. Now you know why. HAHA. This is suppose to be Abraham Lincoln. I figure I would try to do one painting since I watched the movie a few days ago.

I guess this is a bad attempt. Less than 15 mins. I don't know why I can't exceed longer than 15 mins for a drawing. Anyway, more bad drawings coming up! Hopefully I can keep drawing till the start of school! :)

Brush up little monkey

First post! Udon keeps me going! Speedpainting of mountain ranges. I don't think you will know if I didn't tell you. Haha. Real bad.

 My lack of practice made me a very rough artist. I need some polishing so I'm gonna start posting really bad drawings here till I get better.

My teacher once said that if a drawing works when viewed in a thumbnail, it is a strong image. I'm starting to see things a little differently.

Little things in life:

• Big shapes
• Power of suggestion, not detail
• Lighting
• Imagination
