Singing in the rain part3

Can't- stop- painting.
Some more dancers/ballerinas- this is no way meant to be raunchy, I just enjoy drawing the human figure.

Returning to a real life now.

Singing in the rain part 2

Here we go. Suitable for the current weather. 

Not sure about the backgrounds, and some of the poses.  Here are some that are still work in progress, I like these ones better. 

Speaking of work in progress, another work I've been doing in the weekend at home:

I wanted to do something addressing the issue of beauty and the pressure to conform (with young girls/women). Tired of seeing the same faces in girly magazines and adverts. 

Its cheesy I know, but I believe that beauty is subjective, so this work is titled

"what is beauty?"

Forgive the watermark- its work in progress.

Singin in the rain part 1

Partly inspired by the English weather,  'Singing in the Rain', ballerinas and jazz music- I did some sketches of dancers during the weekend.

My scanner is barely functioning.

Hoping to create a series using digital painting. 

 Here is one of the few

 Still learning brushes in photoshop.

 The background was indeed inspired by Clio Chiang and her work 'Rain Rain'. She has been my favorite artist for years- so super talented. Check out her blog - its breathtakingly awesome.

Basking in the finish line

We are done!

What a journey, feel like making an speech. But first I'd like to say

I remember when I showed this blog to a special someone- her delight in my work made my heart smile. Thank you for appreciating my art Ellie! I've not forgotten Canada. I will be there when the time comes.

My best buddies always there to lift my mood.

Mr Doughnut, Mr Yogurt

Thanks for following me and reading this blog.

Weekend at home

Almost there. We are almost done with our final year animation.

Due to the project work I've had to put all my sketches on hold. But there are so many creative ideas in my head waiting to be brought to life. Can't wait. Right now, I'm home for the weekend, in sunny Berkshire.

Even started doing photography;

 Family got new chickens in the for of chicks, I love them.

All they do is eat, poop, sleep and chirp a lot while doing so- what a life.

"Gone Fishing"

She needed some air.

 

 

Like this composition better.

Observations from the bus

I've been meaning to do this 

 Pink is a favorite colour amongst some people.

 Was leaving the bus when I spotted her eye catching coat.

Two people responding differently to the Wednesday heat.

Sunday

 

Going through my sketches and I came across these.

Gave one to my parents, I want to make cards from these as well.

Hello, ladies!

My sister has the most gorgeous pair of ankle length boots and I want to get a pair.
I barely and rarely walk in stilettos.
Exercise in digital painting.

costume portrait day

This Wednesday I helped a little in the Costume Portrait day which is an even run by the university's ASEAN Society and Life-drawing society. Check out thier blog.

 Its a really fun event where sitters pay to be drawn by student artists. The sitters can wear crazy accessories like wigs,sunglasses, and masks. After the session the drawings can be bought. The blog explains it better than I do. 

Anyways, I enjoyed it.

 The sitters were very fun to draw- you could see  they felt like a rock stars. With ridiculous wigs.

I realized how much I miss Life Drawing, despite being one of the students who help run the society.

Thanks Natan and ASEAN society.

Saturday sketch (past and present part 2)

Can't decide.

Past and Present

I like outdoing myself. Someone reminded me of my rock girl illustrations I did eons ago. It was a spontaneous and pleasant surprise. As I didn’t draw it on the right paper, they didn’t scan well but I might as well show them;

 

So I'm working on better versions of them.

Along with that there were some old Ancient Egyptian drawings I did.

These were done before Photoshop (those dark days) so I used ArtRage™ which has similar features and interesting tools.

I don't know if the stripes of color work.

Production, Movies, Madness

Still working on our film, its looking good. Managed to squeeze some time on Friday for  Sofia Cappola’s Marie Antoinette (cupcakes, costumes and cinematography!) while watching it I was sketching and referencing from a book of historical fashion.

 These don't represent a specific era (I think) but was a lot of fun to draw.

'Got tissues for your issues?'

 

Another sketch from this week, its hay fever season.

More jellyfish ladies

Been a busy week of production, early bed and excessive consumption of Muller yogurt. Again, playing with watercolors, creating mermaid jellyfish weirdness.

Not the most convincing fish, if you can spot it- i tried
