Life Drawing...

2008-01-12T21:11:00.000-08:00

It's been so long since I go to life drawing. It was nice to pick up a pen and draw again.
One of my new year resolution is go to life drawing or zoo at least once a week. Let's pray I can last at least 2 months.

Well, the pose kind of get repetitive, it's always fun to draw other people drawing.

1997 - 2007

2007-11-04T12:46:00.001-08:00

Since my average was constantly 29 throughout my life in elementary. My mom always worried that I am a retard. My parent knew I wouldn't survive in Hong Kong's education system. So we moved to Canada when I was twelve. My first six months in Canada was painful. I didn't have any friends or anyone I can talk to. I did nothing but doodling whole day. I drew because I had nothing else to do. I simply wanted to make time to goes by quicker. That’s how I started to take drawing as a hobby. I started to draw whatever I saw on TV or copy different comic book characters. One day, my mom took me to this artist workshop. She told me if I am interested in drawing, I got to learn the proper way. From that day on, she drove me across the town every Saturday.

The following painting was one of my first watercolour paintings in 1997.

The following is a painting I just finished. I found the colour is very similar, so I have put them aside and compare what I've become in 10 years.

I never thought I would able to finish college, moreover, I never dreamt that drawing will become my career. I really want to thanks my mom for making that decision ten years ago.

Thanks mom. I love ya.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Oil Pastel...

2007-07-22T12:01:00.000-07:00

I wasn't going to do any painting because I left my watercolour set at work. But then I found this tiny Oil Pastel set on the shelf. Most of the kids in my generation always had a set of oil pastel at home. My mom hated oil pastel. It smelled funny and it could get very messy. I haven't touch oil pastel since I discover the pencil crayon.
When I found this oil pastel set this morning, I suddenly remembered my childhood drawings . The ultimate scary green Dinosaur, ultra-man, batmobile...etc.

There weren't many colours left in the set, so I kind of mess around with what I've got. This is what it turns out.

Maybe I will buy a new set to explore this medium again...

I'm loving it...

A good friend of mine works at the big M. We were joking about making custom burger. We started throwing ideas such as double fillet with mcchicken sauce, Big Mac bun with McChicken on top and fillet on bottom (extra bacon and cheese) and nuggets serve in a extra large Coke cup etc.
Of course here is our favorite:

Quarter pounder and Mcgrill chicken(just the meat, no bun) Tomatoes and lettuce aside. Of course, we added 3 nuggets to decorate the dish a bit. It comes in a big breakfast plate. It looks colourful too!

yeah...I'm loving it.

Munny Doll.

2007-06-24T19:43:00.000-07:00

Any one heard of Munny Doll?
Munny doll is some kind of a do it your-self toy. I was amazed what the other artists have done with this little 7" vinyl toy. A good friend of mine recently bought one and the final product looks amazing, which can be found Here.

I don't have the cash to buy one, but I did a series of design from the munny doll template. Here is the first one!

As usual, a character from the myth of "Monkey King", this is Tripitaka , the master of Monkey King.
More to come.
