One line drawing

Another new try. Combine one line drawing and roundness. 





Inside the game centre, someone is playing basketball.




Practice with Tom Ford photo.



These were all last semester sketches practice.

AFCC sketch participation



I have never been that nervous and excited before. I am participating Asian Festival of Children Content. Well, I found many nice artworks in the contest and I have a deeper understanding that there are more talented people in the world. Amy is right. We should put our scoop bigger.

After all, it is a good experience to me. The most important thing is I like it. I enjoy putting everything in my mind to work together. Though it may not look good to others. ^^


Sketches Sharing

I went to My Hair House to have my hairdo, precisely straighten my hair. 
Doodling while waiting my hair to be done. 




The first sketch in my new sketchbook. Wondering what kind of hair styles will I have.
I quite like this book. I got it in Thailand. It was a nice trip, worth a thumb, I should say. Maybe post it next time.



Feel like this when the hairdresser put the chemical onto my hair.


"Help, help~ Alien."


"Nah...your wig is ready Ma'am. Please don't kill me... baaa~" haha



The first day of class.
My classmates were going to have lunch in Sushi Zamai. Well, I would like to have nice meal with them, but Sushi Zamai lifted my guiltiness. My mother only have bread for lunch almost everyday, and yet, I, as her daughter, I will have a great meal with my friends? Well, this is not working on me.

At the end, Yvonne invited me to go with her, to meet Angel basically. Well, if only I know the meal does cost...
guilt~

Okay, maybe this time. After all, it is nice to have a date with my friends.




Another couple of days' doodle.
The cat next door:

Art Jam @the park (pet session)

Oh well, these sketches were done during Art Jam few months ago. We had pets life-sketching session 
and it is awesome, though I could only stay for a very little time. 

"Siew Hong, where is your Rocky? I want to draw it." (laugh)XD p/s: Rocky is his pet... actually it is just a rock. Quite like this idea. I guess he must be joking though. Maybe I should get a stone pet too. Too lazy to feed and clean the pet.

A look on some illustrators' blogs

貓。果然如是

Found this blog today. I am not sure how to call her, perhaps Cat? since her profile name is "cat" in Chinese. Kind of like the way she wrote her blog. You can feel the warmth, the pure and simple in her words. Her illustration is more about the food, haha~it is kind of hard to draw food, I mean, in the sense of bringing out the tempting feeling, it is hard.


Pikaland

Another blog that I always read is written by Amy. She is my lecturer, last semester's lecturer precisely. She is a lovely young lady, the most motivated and warm-hearted lecturer that I have ever have.

As we grow up, we are actually getting more and more timid than we thought. We border ourselves by rules and regulation, reality, the fear on the unknown, etc. We are too comfortable to explore, to learn and to innovate. It is so called safety zone. I know, I am but I am changing (though I am still not pushing myself so hard).

I remember the days when I have been critiqued too much until I lost trust on myself and my artworks. The seed of fear grows, twine inside me. I doubt my talent, doubt my choice, getting worried that I will starve to death (loll). Worried is helpless.

It is a gift that I met her.

Our first met was actually in a talk in my college. Her slideshow did impress me a lot. Simple, direct, easy to digest and the comfort of reading mede her talk and sharing so different from others. Her sharing encouraged me to think some questions that I have never thought of. It is nice to have a little chat with her, though I kept asking stupid questions, she was still patiently listening to my words.


She is the one that I like the most among all the speakers in the talk. I could,'t believe my eyes when I found that she was my lecturer for the whole semester.  


I like to attend her class. It was like a recharge of the motivation and enthusiasm level for the entire week. She always tried her best to push me in think differently. I have never been so motivated to do assignments.

I won't forget how helpful she is in the class. May the god bless her, give this kind lady the happiness in her entire life. I shall never forget that as I get the light and warmth from her, I should give it to everyone in my life.
