random collection of random art and bits of coursework


i was bored in lecture and this happened ...
if you zoom in, i dont know how, you can see tiny details! in the clump of swirls theres an owl and a weird alien figure, spot it if you can~
pen on hand/ 2010

this was taken using my phone when i went malaysia with my cousins. this is a boat ride in the evening so catch a glimpse of the fireflies (super pretty, its like a huge christmas tree, except the lights are smaller, more packed, and prettier!)
phone/2010

pencil shading as per normal, as usual, pencil shadings are difficult... cause i cant seem to control my pressure very well. well this means i need to practice more ://
2B, 4B pencil/ a4 drawing block/ 2011


acrylic painting/ a4 drawing block/ 2011
opps, forgot to rotate these two drawing/painting
both are the same piece of folded paper, except one is black and white (pencil) another is coloured (acrylic) the painted version is the actual colour of the paper. the shadows were not done properly cause i think i kinda got restless :/ im satisfied with the blending though its not smooth blending, that's cause this isnt water colour painting, its acrylic, so its harder to blend. whatsmore, its yellow paper!!!! i find it difficult to paint the shadows, because you dont want to dirty the yellow with black, and if you use black to 'shade' the folds of the paper, its too harsh, so i used purple mixed with yellow, since their complementary colours, its perfect for painting the creases



hawksbill turtle 1
2B 4B pencils on drawing block/2011

hawksbill turtle 2
2B 4B pencils on drawing block
these are some prep work for my coursework, my theme will be on animals :)
2 different angle of the hawksbill turtle. both are done already but i have yet to take picture.
did 2 drawings on tiger, 2 on turtle, 1.5 on  elephant, 1 incomplete (in the process of drawing) deer, still have a lot more to draw!!!! then its composition time, then followed by medium selecting/testing of mediums then the final artwork!!!!!!
hope it turns out nice at the end of the year


random pen drawing on my chinese worksheet during chinese lessons
pen/a4 chinese worksheet/ 2011

watercolour/ a4 watercolour paper/ 2011
painting on a4 watercolour paper.
this is sort of like a test sheet, thought i prefer the proportions here
i like all the faces except the top right corner :/
mix of different interesting colours, forgot the name but its some olive greenish colour, vermillion/red and ultramarine. used loads of water.
overall, i seem to prefer this piece


gouache, zig makers, white pen, black markers, charcoal etc/mixed media / a4 watercolour paper/ 2011
rushed this out in 3 hrs
maybe its cause theres a lack of time, which explains the proportion -___-
used gouache, with lesser water, so the colour is darker, well the contrast is better here then. the top left looks like a Chinese girl, then bottom left looks like an Indian girl, the top right probably a Caucasian? the bottom right ... i dont know.
used a variety of medium here. its not clear but theres this flower/wheat grain/ like thing (same as the drawing on the chinese worksheet) in white pen in the background. its very fine, so it may not be clear here, and when it overlaps into the face, it becomes coloured. charcoal is used to darken the sides and shadow (a little), got the face dirty :( enjoyed this painting process, kinda interesting~ no main theme :/ okay i shall make on up now. theme is on women. hahaha, different women?(cause it looks as if theres diff races ) mysterious me? (theres no distinct colour on the face, so its hard to tell if it belongs to a specific person. its kinda like just shadows)
