Painting Practise

Thought I should start practising my painting skills again. It's getting so rusty....

Ah....same old, no time for anything....-_-

Welcome your comments.

Sketches and doodles

Character ideas

On location sketches

Haven't posted anything for sometime. Too lazy to scan in stuff:P Now that I am on a break, I got the time to scan in some sketches and doodles. Some are from months ago. To be honest, I find it hard to just sit down and sketch now. Just too many things going on in life, and too much distraction. But once I pick up a pencil and start to draw, it feels real good.

Ocean Shore beaches

Felix and I went to Ocean Shore in Washington, U.S., during the long weekend. The beaches are huge and magnificent. Unfortunately, the weather is cloudy and a little cool.

Haven't really done much of my own stuff other than work. Before, I could still assign a block of time to do a drawing or illustration. But it's not quite possible now. I just have to make good use of whatever time leftover. This is a sketch that I half done while waiting for a table at a restaurant, and colored on the car when we are waiting to cross the border, back to Canada. well, something is better than nothing, i guess...

Doodles.Vehicle.

Some doodles, and a vehicle design .
I'd like to have a vehicle that doesn't need me to drive and take me wherever I want once I enter the destination into its computer. No steering wheel, of course!

painting

I intended to make this the cover of a comic that I 'thought' I would try to do...and it takes me forever to paint in photoshop. First, because of procrastination; second, because I haven't done much drawing or painting this past 2 months; third, because I want to practise painting w/ photoshop seriously; and fourth, it seems like there're lot of things that gets into the way...well ^..^

I'm quite happy with it now, although there're little things that I would like to fix but I think I should move on to something else.

And thank you if you are still visiting this blog since it has been deserted for awhile~~a poorly maintained blog...

Practice 3

Practice in photoshop.

I still enjoy traditional painting and drawing more. But working digitally saves more time in terms of work in the industry.

Ah, I'm bored... -u-

Practice 2

I only did a few drawings when I was away in June. The painting is based on one of the doodles above. I was trying to paint it in a different way than I usually did, so it took me more time.

I'm glad I got a fan today. The heat is killing me x{

Stocks

I went to the bank with my dad last week, and I saw a lot of people watching stocks on computers there. Most of them are middle aged men or housewives. One time, they were yelling and forming a crowd before the computers. Quite a funny phenomenon. There were actually more people than what I have drawn here...

Practice

I was planning to color this before gradshow, but ran out of time eventually. I'm glad that I did it after because this took me more time than I usually do, and I could experiment with other washes that I am normally afraid of using. For now, I'm happy with how it turns out :)

some doodles

I used to think that if I draw cartoons all day, I'll quit the habit of doodling on used paper.
Nobe! doodling is still my favorite activity! drawing nonsense is fun ,:P

Class illo: Odd thing found in a toilet bowl

Odd people that one surely wants to flush away.

Class illo--Stupid

Can't really think when I'm sick. I've got headaches, runny nose, sore throat, small brain...etc. But I'm still alive -u-

Digi colored character

A colored piece done in photoshop for Color and Media class. At first I intended it to be more painterly, but somehow it didn't turn out that way. Got carried away with making her a pretty looking 'shojo style' girl ....-_- I read a lot of mangas before but not really a big shojo fan. And there were only a few shojo authors that I liked.

I hardly read any manga now since there's no more time left ...>0<....

Class illo-- ZOMBIE INVASION

More like spirits invasion than zombie, haha xD

Class illo--Bad Luck

A view from my room this afternoon when I was working on my animation.

I don't believe in luck. I think there's a reason for everything but we might not understand it now. God has His plan for everyone of us.

There will still be frustration and disappointment when bad things happen. But if we take a minute and look away from our troubles, well, the sky is still pretty beautiful!
