Rejected (by me)

2010-09-02T20:49:00.002+08:00

Did a few variations of a drawing for a really fun job with Animax, this is one of the ones i liked enough to carry on to finish it.
heh. XD the other one will be made into a t-shirt. watch this space!

Collage

2010-08-01T17:54:00.007+08:00

also from the masterclass, a tonal exercise done in collage.

i had sticky, messy fun with gluestick + paper + paint.

we had to mix 3 tones of grey that were equally between white and black, then paint them onto butcher's paper. after that we worked on the life drawing, sticking whatever tone corresponded with what we see. a little tricky, considering we had only 5 tones to work with. life model was there for the most part while we tore and stuck down the tones.

not as intimidating as painting or as laborious as working on a life drawing for a long time. excellent for people who are more inclined towards linear styles of drawing (like meself.)

Some drawings

Melbourne Portrait Day turned Sketchwalk.

2009-06-07T14:58:00.001+08:00

I was trying to coordinate an OIC Portrait Day in Melbourne yesterday so we could have it both in Singapore and Melbourne at the same time, but weather circumstances conspired against us. (sorry, no photos because i forgot to bring the camera :X)

No one sat outside because it was so cold, and we weren't allowed to do it inside because we'd be "disturbing the patrons", so we took portrait day to Carlton Gardens. And... again, because it was so frosty, no one stopped to pose for us except this lady. :D

But she was the only one. :X By then we were freezing our fingers off and decided to head to an indoors cafe to sketch people instead (trying to keep to the portrait day theme)

A friend showed his portrait to the gentleman he was drawing, and he treated us to beer and coffee in exchange for the drawing. :D

After that, a bit of sketchwalking in the city and stopped because it was too cold to continue. I headed back towards my place to do some more drawing and was joined by this Korean girl, who watched me draw this shop. She mentioned she used to draw as well, so I passed some of my cardboards to her and we both drew until it started drizzling.

and that was the failed attempt at Portrait Day in Melbourne. :P

PS: the cardboard was from the remnants of a box i used to make a sign for portrait day. was gonna post that up as well, but it has "gone with the wind".

Busking @ St Kilda on a rainy day.

Some wire "drawings" I've been translating from my live drawing classes, an interplay between 2D/3D space and an attempt to make my drawings a tangible object.

Soon Lee Voucher

2008-12-13T10:47:00.001+08:00

A very fun job I did with Soon Lee (a local boutique located at Haji Lane 56) for their in-store voucher. Almost total creative freedom to conceptualize and draw. :D

Figure Drawing

2008-10-19T15:16:00.001+08:00

During lessons (each 3 hrs with about 45mins for break) we typically vary between 3-5min, 20 min, 1hr, 3hr, 6 hr (same pose for 2 weeks).

These are some of the quick gestural drawings with 3-5 minute poses. Usually size of drawing is between A3-A2, or A2-A1.

Large Drawing

2008-10-19T14:52:00.001+08:00

One of the projects from school, where we're supposed to have a large piece of artwork in the end. I went around the city sketching in my sketchbook, before redrawing/enlarging and linking the original sketches to form the large drawing.

Sustained Life Drawing

done in studio.

medium: charcoal

the words of Mr. Wood

2008-05-03T13:30:00.002+08:00

Ashley Wood that is.

"Cut away the bullshit, the swindle, the galleries, the cooler-than-shit historic myths of street/gallery/animation/low/high/brut/comic art background and you're left with the image. Does the image work without a clapperhand explaining why it rocks? No? Then fuck off, write a novel, and leave art to someone else. Intellectualize and die."

*drops to ground and kowtows in hero worship*

that is a completely tattoo worthy quote, is it not?

INTELLECTUALIZE AND DIE.

Recent Stuff :D

2008-04-27T06:57:00.000+08:00

have been drawing quite a bit recently, outside of what is required in school. :X been slacking for a while.

first two are drawn from reference, Weegee's New York. i super super love weegee's photos.

^nib and ink

^graphite on paper, although the paper abit too rough for the texture that i was going for, used a tortillion to do the smoothing of shades. tortillions are cool.

hardest bits to do is the shading on the legs, to show the knee and the calf muscles :/ so it's good to reference from photo because when do in life drawing classes, i'm usually too busy with getting the shape of the body correct to be bothered about the correct muscular definition. :X

lecturer says is good to copy from old masters' drawings because then you get a pretty good idea of the muscles of body and the underlying structure of skeleton/how different muscles strain and stretch in different poses, etc. got to do that for class, so will report more on that soon.

^nib and ink drawing of an acquaintance. i find that the nibs with round ends suit me better than the ones without the round tips. they're much more suited to do bold, fast lines, so work well for quick drawings/sketches, but too clumsy for delicate line work.

will try to borrow a camera to take photos of larger drawings in my studio. :D

haven't done much with colours yet though. i kinda want to learn how to draw correctly first, before i start using colour, but maybe doing both together is better. opinions?

2902 Mural

2008-04-19T14:30:00.002+08:00

A mural done a while back for 2902 photo gallery located in Old School, Mt Sophia Road. Painting was assisted by chun, gwen (the gallery owner) and random friends, like Sharon Didi.

ACRES fundraiser

2007-04-19T23:24:00.000+08:00

HELLO ALL :D

I did a quick project for Aware Concerns and Research Society recently. They're an AWESOME....no beyond awesome. They're a freaking fantastic animal rights group that did a humongous lot for the improvement of animal rights and care in Singapore.

Check them out at www.acres.org.sg

This is an illustration for a fundraising dinner, to be sold as a one-off postcard/button set.

This is the completed version. :) I'm happy how it turned out.

HELLO

2007-04-09T00:57:00.001+08:00

and UPDATE!

Sorry everybody for not commenting/posting for SUCH A LONG TIME. don't worry, I haven't dropped off the face of the earth, was just busy doing some projects and making money (such a necessary evil).

I've just completed a mural project for a shopping mall, pictures below! Had initially planned to fill up more of the background, but due to time constraints... :(

for those in Singapore who are able to go down and take a look, it is in Marina Square. Second level, outside the GV wall (where there is a collaboration mural) Several awesome graffiti artists are involved, like Killer Gerbil, Snatch Thieves, and illustrators like White Dog Bobby, Manda Panda!!! Was bloody excited to meet Gerbil, and he's a totally awesomely nice guy!

I have more news to post, but that'd probably be in another entry. watch out for this space! I'm back!!!

thanks to those who encouraged me so much. Thanks guys, you people are freaking awesome.

i just realized how bloody limited my vocabulary seems because i keep using the word awesome. but it really is awesome! yeah.

complaint.

2007-01-30T22:34:00.000+08:00

i think my drawings have become a little souless recently. i no longer have the same sense of fun when i put the pen to paper. it probably shows in my illustrations. probably because of the stress from the final year project. i think about it even when i sleep and i wake up in the morning thinking SHIT FYP. after this is all over i'll take a loooonnnngggg looooonnnggggggggggg break to rest and recharge.

live sketch of a muslim lady on the bus. did this a while back and i like the relaxed, free lines in this. i'm trying to get it back. stay tuned.

Illustration Friday - Red

2007-01-27T09:28:00.000+08:00

Poppies in July - Sylvia Plath

Little poppies, little hell flames,
Do you do no harm?

You flicker. I cannot touch you.
I put my hands among the flames. Nothing burns.

And it exhausts me to watch you
Flickering like that, wrinkly and clear red, like the skin of a mouth

A mouth just bloodied
Little bloody skirts!

There are fumes that I cannot touch.
Where are your opiates, your nauseous capsules?

If I could bleed, or sleep! -
If my mouth could marry a hurt like that!

Or your liquors seep to me, in this glass capsule,
Dulling and stilling.

But colorless. Colorless.

Hi to all of you who passed by my blog and stayed to leave a comment, thank you!

I will be leaving for a month-long exchange to China this coming Monday and I'm not sure if I can post during the exchange because I heard Blogger is banned in China. Therefore, I've massively uploaded about 9 pics tonight for your viewing pleasure! :D (The next two days will be spent packing and stuff. ^_^" I'm such a procrastinator!)

Please tell me if you love or hate my stuff, your comments are much appreciated. All of them!

Once again, thanks for leaving your comments, I'll try to get back to them and also leave comments on your blogs once I return. Especially the friends I've made here who leave me regular encouraging comments.

See you guys soon! In about a month's time. XD

Traced from the first image, coloured in with Copic Markers.

Don't really like the colour scheme here though. Ended up choosing this for the Salome Poster -->
