La fete

I simply love this short animation by Malcolm Sutherland.

My second commissioned portrait sketch

I just completed my second commissioned portrait sketch (1st picture). It was quite hard to see all the details on the photo as it was blurred but I'm happy with how it looked in the end. The second picture (guy with scarf)was the first one I did and that I also blogged about it a while back.

Both are pencil on paper.

Join in the fun!

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Big smiles for Christmas! May this time be a blessing to everyone and may love, peace and hope prevail.

Above is a sketch of my friend Buntu... he saw some of the drawings and paintings I did as a kid and said that he will only be able to see if I can draw if I do a portrait of him. I procrastinated but finally finished it. I am yet to give it to him and hear what he has to say!

Drawing Hands

We're studying the anatomy of the human body in illustration class at the moment and this week, I'm focusing on drawing hands. I'm trying to draw a hand each week. This is what I have so far.

Hands are so expressive, one can sometimes only look at the hands of others to know what they are feeling or trying to say. For instance, the hands in the two pictures above convey two very different feelings. The first one being soft and experimental and the second one is strong and forceful.

What do you think?
