New Pattern Book!

2012-02-12T19:48:00.002+08:00

I'm working on another small painting and plan to make few "even-smaller" paintings, mainly focus on faces. I should improve my skill in painting female face before turn into other objects. Nonetheless, I bought a book that have 1761 pattern of plants and flowers. It will be useful in future :P

This work maybe completed by next weekends..if I'm able to focus on it without distracted by the pc game :D I'm again addicted to Sim Societies.

2012-01-15T19:03:00.001+08:00

It has been two weeks that I did not paint anything, and i assumed it as a break for myself. I was shopped with my parents for Chinese Lunar New Year celebration - buying new clothes, food for reunion dinner, delicious beverage, making cookies and more and more.

Yesterday was my birthday and I had two, oh no, is three great meals with different people - my colleagues, my boyfriend and my dearest family. Each meal was too much for me, i got very full and my stomach was very "Hard" *U* After great meals celebration, i decided to take up my pencil and start to draw again (while enjoying my chocolate tuxedo cake :P).

so these are my quick sketch:

and I still in celebration mood and wanna cry because tomorrow have to work :) i'm so reject to work in "CUBE". Anyway, next Sunday will be lunar new year eve, i'm so excited and look forward for it's coming.

Thanks for reading and wish you stay happy healthy always.

New Moon

12" x 16" Acrylic and Graphite on Paper

Never expect to finish it by today but I had did it! *U* It's my first time painting a girl with full body. Her left shoulder is weird and BIG, so I paint the hair in purple pink colors, trying to catch focus on hair instead of shoulder *.* I have no idea why the clouds and sky were hard to paint and it took me an afternoon to complete. If the background is the hardest part, then the moon is the easiest part (^~*)

*more photos*

and New Year is coming soon. Yuhoo~~pre-wishes to you, Happy 2012!!

心花怒放

2011-11-27T21:03:00.006+08:00

Finally, I had finished the remake of this artwork...thanks god that I able to bring out the result I wish. The painting is describing the happiness of a girl from the bottom of her heart, like a room full with dancing flowers yet she remain as calm as the beautiful Koi fish.

The photos taken are quite different with the original due to not enough of light source (taken at night). I use to take photo at day time to achieve better quality.

Lovely Shopping

2011-11-21T21:11:00.003+08:00

As usual, I have my weekends at home painting, drawing and painting and drawing....this weekend is a little bit different because I spent some money for lovely things shown below. Other than 16G Kingston flash drive, I bought nail protector, white glitter nail polish, one orange lip gloss and oil-controlled makeup primer. All from etude house...this was my first shopping there and was actually affected by Valerie Chua's beautiful blog. I like the product design of etude house,so lovely and feminine. Oh, and my old wallet was broken and my mum bought a beautiful purse for me. It was 50% off, very affordable!

Besides than lovely things above, I have a sad news to share with you too. I ruined my new work and not thinking to continue or 'save' it from scrap...:( It's maybe either remake it or forgot about it...what do you think??

A Different Sight, acrylic & graphite on paper, 9"x 12"

:: Hair lines practice ::

I had spent 2 days and more within two week to complete this practice. I like this way to draw out the flowing hair, especially adding the shadow. Two things I'm sad with is: firstly, her left eye is slightly toward to left. And there is a dark stain on her face.

Sneak peak again...

How are you all? The weather in Malaysia not good, I believe it's affected by Thailand flood...we have raining every evening till night. And it's pouring heavy rain. You won't keep dry if you walk under the rain with umbrella :P I'm recently busy preparing and practicing for some art competitions that I want to participate in. I used four days plus to finish my sketch...below are the sneak peaks :)hope you like them....

Last week, I bought a book from Borders...I'm in love with that book because I can enjoy 1000pieces of famous and beautiful artwork all in one book. I learned about the famous artists and their amazing works :) The book start from 13th century until today....

and a look of my so-called creative area :( mini table and a cushion

Purify

2011-09-25T22:22:00.004+08:00

When will I have the ability to write long blog post that full with interesting contents inside? I believe I'll be able to do it if write in Chinese, but not English...I'm still not that good to use English to write out my thinkings (especially whimsical thinking).

The last painting (in progress) show in my post had been put aside. It maybe continue next week, next month or next year, which I'm not sure about it :) The painting couldn't give the concept I wish to express...hence I decided to try a new one.

This painting name as Purify, brings the meaning of "the beauty inside a heart able to purify the polluted world"....aiks, i know it's not a beautiful sentence, but this the thing I wish to share through my art.

Study #1

2011-08-13T22:59:00.003+08:00

Hello guys! How are you doing? I hope everyone has a good mood as I'm now :) It's have been a long time I didn't finish a painting, especially when I decided to give up my painting which showed in last post. I ruined the painting with a bad background color (T.T). I couldn't bring out the feeling that I wish to present. Anyway, that's all PASS-TENSE now.

Currently, I'm doing some study on light & shawdow as well as face painting. By referring to one of Audrey Kawasaki's work, I had come out with the painting below. The overall process is interesting but it's really need to have patient.

Such beautiful story with amazing graphic...I had never watched watercolor style animation before. It's really impressive. Does anyone know this video clip is belong to which movie or drama series? It's published by Korea entertaiment company ( i guess from the actress in last part).
