NOTE: Those red label dots i placed on the sketch are actually mistakes that i made; as my patience to get the details right was wearing a little thin, Gahhhh....!

Wishing you a 2009 filled daily with enriching experiences.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!

May Christmas fill you with joy and 2009 fill you with laughter.

SINGHEALTH CALENDAR

I completed a series of illustrations for SingHealth calendar, the calendar will be given out free with purchase of January issue of Women's Weekly. The design done by Ling from Nuts Ideas.
Each illustration are based on a specific theme given by the client, the aim was emulate something magical according with the theme. All illustrations are done with pencil on paper later coloured in Photoshop.

Weekly 15 Minute Portraits

Before "The Chairman" gets on my case for not posting on this blog, here's something i did when my iMac crashed. While my replacement laptop occasionally made spinning "rainbow connection" when handling heavy Photoshop files. I will doodle to make the agony a little easier. All portraits are done under 15 minutes, and with no touch ups. You can view more drawings HERE.

Clockwise from top: Audrey Tautou, Willie Nelson, Hugh Laurie and TangWei

Batman Version 1.2

Inspired by Drewscape and AG.
Yes, a very misunderstood hero with no special powers.
This is batman being stood up...(again?)

SHOPHOUSE SKETCH

Just sketching with 0.18 technical pen.
Combining the weird and acute of different angles to form an unlikely street scene.
(to heck with politically correct perspective!)

REST

It’s been close to 2 months since I had a decent "serious" post.
Due to the fact of work commitments and I decided only post works that I think that deserved a certain amount of "quality" control. In the midst of re-designing my website. I decide to come up with a decent Under Construction landing page.


Image 1:
I did the sketch with pencil, and scanned and import it to Photoshop at 360dpi. Next, I added basic colour to the drawing. However as it progress, I was unsatisfied with the outcome leaning tad too close looking computerize. So i did a few experiment with fountain pen ink on water colour paper and scan it into the illustration. I had always enjoyed combining natural media to computer in a way that both compliment one another.
Image 2:
As usual, i added more detail drawings upon the existed layered to make the illustration more intricate. Recently i developed interest in modern oriental approach to Chinese painting, and had been learning how to draw peonies. So i thought i could combine the latter to the illustration.
However, i think i will still work on this piece of illustration.


Comments are very much appreciated!
THANK YOU! (bows)
