++ Coffee Prince ++ ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

Yes~! I’ve already finish watching Coffee Prince~! My mum loves it more than I do.. lol Gong Yoo is so adorable and cute.Yoon Eun Hye is so pretty even when she’s a tomboy.

I love the opening theme.. Lalala, its Love. By: The Melody. La la la la la~! La la la la la~!

Gong Yoo was also in movie called: ‘She’s on Duty’. The female leading actress of this movie was Kim Sun Ah. (She’s one of my favorite actress~! ♥♥) Also a comedy movie that I loved. ^-^

++ Stickers Collections ++ ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

Yesterday, I was ransacking my cupboard for something, then I saw my stickers.. Well, it’s been a long time since I touch it.. So, I take the whole ‘basket’ out for a look.. he he .. I started to spread all the stickers on the bed.. Almost occupied the whole bed.. Out of curiosity, I started to count the stickers.. Gosh… 370++ of stickers.. I must be insane..

I’ve stopped collection stickers for many year liao.. (Lucky no more wasting..) Siao man… Wasted so many $$$ on all this… but I don’t regret lah.. 小的时候，没有这么多美丽的stickers, 所以一旦看到美丽的， 我就很想买。现在都不买了。对这些东西没什么兴趣了。（ 除非我真的看到非常漂亮的吧。）

Here is the some of the picture I took..


The bottom right one is one of my precious stickers. My papa brought it for me when I was young. 对我来说是非常的珍贵的宝物。

Making a mess..

:: Making a mess. :: ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

Yesterday, trying to organize the drawings in my file.. Well, actually I’m trying to lighten my load.. *sweats* I’ve some junks and sketches in my black file (also act as my table.) all pile up. It’s heavy to carry so I have to sort out and place it into another file.. Still, I didn't clear up much..



I’m making a mess.. instead of organizing properly.. What's more I place it on my parents bed. XD


Stacking up all the file.. These are just only some of it.. Few inches thick.. These files contain drawings/sketches/junks mostly from late 2006 to 2007..



Tada~! Some of my print out re-ink linearts..



Yes, it’s Inuyasha Fanarts linearts~! The first one (left) done in January. The second and third in July 2007. (I’m holding back all these for later.)



These 3 old painting all painted on pink vanguard sheets, I assume it’s around early or in late 1996s since there is no date.. Medium: poster paint.. (Its horrible right?!) Both top paintings are my earliest characters so uncreative right~?! Their faces look all the same.. Their hair, don’t have any shades only base color and fully overloaded white strips.. Well it’s actually it’s highlight for their hair.. I don’t know why I paint until like that back then.. (-__-;) (Heads.. all heads more heads… scary..)

Yes, I sux at traditional mediums~!!! ToT
Oh, the top left purple hair girl is Amanda, big difference from now eh…

Bottom piece was a fanart:. Magic Knight Rayearth. The first CLAMP manga I brought and really love it so gotta draw it~! The characters belongs to CLAMP. Art by: me.

Dot Dot Dot...

++ Amanda ++ ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

Finish another drawing~! Yeah~! Amanda (紫莹) she was my first original character. ^-^
Initially, I painted with oc, but after awhile I find the color is too soft.. Hence, switch over to ps…


The process..
1. The sketch.. Most of my sketches look better than my lineart.. So, I decide to use just plain sketch for this piece.
2. Next, finish coloring the character.. as for the background I don't have any idea yet.. So just anyhow paint it first..
3. Later, I repaint the background..
4. Still, not really please with the bg, so repaint again..
5. Next, add some butterflies, branches and leaves to create a mysterious feeling.
6. Now, my favorite part.. Playing with the blending options like: color balance, hue & sat and selective color options. Well, I thought it look nice, but soon after I realize it turns out over dosage of blue~! ^_^;
7. So, I tried to change another colors..
8. Then another attempt..


In the end.. I pick out no.7 then duplicate the layer then blur the image and change the blending option to ‘ softlight’. There… voila~! (though, I still prefer the no.6 blue image better.)

Xiao Yao II

++ My OC. ++ ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

One of my character: Xiao Yao. (逍遥) Color in oc/ps switching back and forth.. Basically, it’s colored in oc then ps.. His actual hair color is green and eyes are blue, but I’m so obsess with purple so change his hair color and his eyes color in this piece..


Xiao Yao. Done in 2001. Yes, his hair is purple too.. XD (Left) After scanning.. (Right) taken with camera. This drawing was also posted in my crappy website. Here. Tools: pen & color pencil..



The process.. (From left to right) First, the sketch. Second, some clean up around the edge and his eye.. Third, color with oc. Fourth pic, enhanced and more coloring in ps. Lastly, his actual hair color is green..



Tada completed~! *Heart* Initially, I didn’t wanna add any abs for him but it looks strange with without the muscles..
Anatomy may be wrong.. Don’t know how to draw his right arm well.. Since I don’t have reference… *I’m not gonna upload this piece in DA.. Though I really love this piece very much but is not good enough to display it there… *
*Edit: I think I'll put this on DA. XD



This is the original without the abs or touch-up with ps.. Any different with the colors etcs?

++ Sketch.. ++

I did mention before in my journal of redrawing this piece: Here traditionally and it’s done.


I redraw it traditionally rather than digitally.. Here is the concept.. Much better than the previous piece.. I’ve printed the sketch but haven’t ink it yet..

♥ Drawing Eric Mun. ♥

不甘心啊~！So.. The next day, I tried to look for a clearer picture of him.. I found one nice picture of him from here: SHINHWA OFFICIAL SITE. Print it out and begin to draw once again.


Here the process steps..



After several hours (4-5 hours above) of sketching/cleaning and smudging it’s finally completed. Now then scanned and edit his eyes.. (Just add white spot around his eyes only) and it’s done~! Somehow, I think I’ve ruin his hair (can’t draw hair..) and his charming smile.. The whole proportions looks slanted.. *sweats* At least its way better and those previous drawings of him…

Tools: Mechanical pencil 0.5 HB, 2B, 4B and 6B. Edit with ps.

Hmm…now then, who am I gonna draw next…

Eric Mun Sketch...

++ Eric Mun ++

Yes~! ♥ Finally able to upload something.. Yup, it’s Eric Mun from Shinhwa~!

Initially, I’ve no idea who he was when I watch Super Rookie.. Later, when I saw him dancing in one of the episode, I thought Wow his good.. so.. out of curiosity, I looked through Wikipedia and I realize he’s actually from Shinhwa~! (0o0) ♥ ♥ ♥


Since, I was having major art blocks, I thought of drawing some fanarts or something.. Whatever.. I’m just trying to remove the art blockage~!! So.. I thought of drawing a portrait of someone.. Dang~! Eric came into my mind… So.. lol


At first, without any references, I tried to remember how he looks like.. I failed.. so anime style..
Next, the second one with reference.. but the picture is too small.. Can’t see properly..
Third picture, I’m not really please with the result of the second piece so I redraw it in 15-20 mins time more or less. Way faster than the second piece.. Still… looks errrr..

+Wip+

++ Wip. ++

This was done not long ago.. I was inspired by one of S.H.E’s song: 星星之火 that time.. This was sketch digitally in oc/ps.. Not really please with the outcome and the coloring concept. Perhaps I’ll redraw and ink it traditionally. I feel more comfortable with traditional sketch and traditional outline.

Unfinish..

I haven’t even complete this piece… don’t like the colors very much.. Color look so yucky..


Abandon piece perhaps..


Here.

:+ Argghhhhh +:

++ At a loss. ++

Lately, I’ve been very unmotivated.. Nothing inspires me. 脑袋空空的。 没有灵感。Hardly ever touch my mechanical pencil.. Drawings and sketches turn out awful. Not to mention digital sketches too..(Fail) Also, I’m torn between whether to draw in anime or semi realism style.. Non of it was performed well.. Barely even complete any paintings or colorings.. Been very confused and worn out… I can’t continue… so stuck.. My head hurts… perhaps I’m too hasty.. I wanted to do well in both style.. Thus backfire.. (o_o)
*slam head*

The sketch and the color concept~! The color concept was color in OC... Here is the finish version in Deviantart.

Junk 1

++ O.P.E.N.C.A.N.V.A.S _ J.U.N.K.S. ++

Playing with OpenCanvas... Well sort of..


Recent sketch and untidy lineart.. Sketch with oc > print > manually inking > rescan > When I started inking, I realize to my horror, that all proportions went way off~! I thought the sketch was okay from what I saw on the monitor. That’s the reason why I hardly sketch digitally… I just can't do it... (>o<;) (ToT) Anatomy all went wrong... Argh....

wip..

♥ Happy Halloween to everyone~! ♥

++ WIP ++ ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

Here is a small screenshot of it~! Still in the process of cleaning.. I hate to clean linearts.. (TOT) (-_-)


sketch done recently and fail in coloring... My character: Yao. I thought the drawing is so plain.. Hence, I decided to printed out and re-outline the sketch and add some belts thingy. Oh, it’s shown above.. lol Sketch with oc > digital inking >cleaning lines with oc > color with oc.

completely ruin.. (abandoned piece...)

Magazine Reference

This piece took me sometime.. I don't remember how long.. But it's long..
A model that caught my eye while flipping through the magazine, I really like his facial expressions so try to draw it.. Well, I think I have ruin his face especially his nose and his lip.. I find that it's really difficult to draw the texture of his clothes too.. (>O<;) In the end.. I didn’t really follow much of the folding and creases.. Just went my way.. XD Mechanical pencil 0.5 HB, HB, 2B, 4B and 6B. Edit with ps with gradient.

Art Block Again...

I really hate art blocks... This always happens to me very frequently.. I can't think of anything to draw.. for now.. not even doodle... *pulls hair*


Anyway, at least manage to do some sketches few days ago..

Since, I brought some magazines not long ago, I thought of doing some practice.. Flipping through some pages I saw some attractive models and poses so I decide to draw them. Another motive is to finish using all the lecture pads~!!! (Still have plenty…) Of course, I’m not going to anyhow waste it.. Still have to put it to good use.. like below images.. and yes.. Yeah~! Its traditional drawings alright~!


I’ve always use lots of strength in my drawings without realizing. Thus, this always happen when the drawings are being scanned.. Look at how the paper had crease.. Leaving so many white spaces in betweens.. lol


I wanna try to sketch within 20 mins or so but it seem not possible.. in the end each sketches took me about 30min to an hour or so..
