Pen Sketching - F.R.I.E.N.D at Kudat Beach

Pen Sketching - F.R.I.E.N.D at Kudat Beach

Was browsing my old photos to practise my sketch and saw the photo that was taken in Kudat. It was my last semester in UMS, we decided to go Kudat for the second time (first time for some). 

The beach was quiet, untouched, unpolluted and the sea was clear.

And my friend, Vinci decided to take a memorable photo on this beach. 

We were posing for F.R.I.E.N.D 

=) 

I shouldn't have draw the face. Ahhh it ruined out entire art piece, especially on Lee Xin's wan (left to right: on the third). The entire face and body were originally left white, but because of the small little flaw I made, I have to colour it all.. Sorry Lee Xin ..

I guess I learnt a lesson here. 

And by the way,

I miss Sabah so much ...!!!!! 

Pen Sketching - 7 UP

Pen Sketching - 7 UP

I think I'm in love with the outcome of pen sketching. I had to be very focus and sure on every line I'm putting on the drawing pad otherwise you may see extra lines that are not correctable most of the time.

The same advices I kept telling myself, practice makes perfect. 

=)

Enjoy your weekend !

Acrylic Paint - First Explosive Painting

Acrylic Paint - Explosive Portrait Painting 

I love painting freely. The moment I saw the picture of an explosive painting, I'm in love with it and always wanted to give a try.

I'm not good in portrait sketching. I know I've screwed the portrait much (not gonna tell who I was drawing), but my motive was clear - to paint explosively.

Then I continued choosing colours that does not resembles the original skin colour much. 

Looking at my painting below, I have made a first step to be brave in colour selection, but it's not brave enough. Yeah, I guess I'll choose brighter colour in my next painting =)

Pencil Sketching - Eiffel Tower & My friend

Pencil Sketching - Eiffel Tower & My friend

(Backdated drawing)

The above sketching subject was a birthday gift to my friend who thought my skills have improved a lot. 

Well, since she doesn't mind my not-so-pro art work, I don't mind drawing for her too.

The Eiffel Tower was okay ...  

But not her portrait ..

It doesn't look like her and in overall, the ratio is out. 

I have to improve my portrait sketching skill. 

And my friend laughed when I showed her this. Haha. 

Acrylic Painting - Tiger

Acrylic Painting - Tiger

I love abstract painting because it gives me a total freedom in my colour selection. I came across many paintings (especially oil painting) that are very explosive or colourful in other words. 

(Explosive Painting is something like this)

However, my portrait is not up to standard yet. Thus, I decided to paint an animal instead. I don't know why tiger came across my mind thus I looked for a close up version of tiger over google and started to paint it. 

I decided to use orange as a medium colour, peach as lightest, red as darker, dark brown as darkest. However, I decided that painting peach was quite dull therefore I switched to yellow. 

It took my entire afternoon nap time to complete it.

Even though it still looks a bit conservative and doesn't reach my expectation for an explosive painting, I'm happy to see the end result and also the experience I've gained in this paint.

Enjoy =)
