Qiu Ze (Roy Chiu)

Yeah. Finally finish this piece.. Lost count of the time I took to paint this.. After watching him in Easy Fortune Happy Life.. I begin to like him and his character: Han Dong Jie (韓東杰)
..

So.. I decide to paint Qiu Ze's character role: Han Dong Jie ~! ^-^ I really like his hair style, makes him look more mature and cool. (How I wish he didn't shave his goatee in this show.. haiz.. 好可惜呀! 我还蛮喜欢看他留鬍子呀! 我怎么会有这样的想法...)

I took a screenshot of him from episode 8 for reference from youtube..
The whole paint is done digitally.. Actually, I find it rather difficult to view.. (the screenshot.) It's not exactly clear and the color are kinda off.. So, even the painting that I paint, everything including colors will eventually come out looking weird I suppose.. Well, never mind.. just paint whatever I can see in the screenshot.


Process of painting him.. Honestly, the sketch is way off.. I didn't expect it.. I only realize it, when I started to paint his face.. I was so worried while painting him halfway through.. I told myself, this doesn't look like him at ALL! Even though when I completed it, it's still not exactly like him.. but this is the best I can do.. orz..


Here's the final image of him.. (bro told me the image looks rather plastic.. I think so too.. perhaps the skintone?)

Original size: 2124 x 2224.



This is the original colored version..

Posting another colored version..

Play around with the color balance and other color blending options..

Satomi channn~! How are you? お元気ですか？ アーンティ really really miss you very much~! I hope you doing well~!

It's been so many years already.. I wonder how she looks like now? By now she's already 16-17 years old.. I assume.. She is one of the few Japanese children I met many years ago.. (I once was a bus attendant.. XD) I really miss her dearly.. I sorta forget to asked for her address (or communication problem..) so I can write letters to her. Which I regret very much even now.. 非常的想念她呀...非常的乖又可爱孩子. 她是我最疼爱的小女孩之一哟.


Reference from photographs we took many years ago.. I wish we have digital camara those days.. because the photo is so small I can hardly see clearly.. This is the best I can draw..


Paper: A4 drawing paper.
Medium: 0.7 mechanical pencil, HB, 2B, 4B and 6B pencils..
Time: 2-3 hours?
This is the original color of the drawing.



Playing around with ps..

Xin Rou

A random lame name.. XD

It's a traditional drawing/coloring, thanks to the com.. I did this drawing when the com broke down. Took 2-3 days on and off to finish this..


1. First off, the sketch~! (Because the photos too dim.. have to adjust brightness to all of the photos.. )


2. A little close-up.

3. Lineart. (I was so worried that I'll ruin the whole drawing..)


4. Another close-up.


5. ...


6. Too engross with the coloring.. Forget to take photos..


7. Close-up again.


8. This is how the photo looks like if the brightness not adjusted..


9. Oh my.. The color-pencil are having a party~! One word: Messy..


10. More coloring to do..


11. Her pretty eyes..


12. Lay a blue color base for her hair..


13. Then add dark purple and some black color.. (looks black can't see any purple..)


14. Once more.. close-up..


15. Yes.. It's finish.. Well, almost.. I just feels that it lacks of something.. I sorta regret with the background... I should have used color-pencils to color instead of using watercolor.. (so long didn't use the watercolor it give off weird smells.. GOSH..It's SPOILT!! And I'm still using it..) almost ruin..


16. I took 1-2 hours using toothpick to add tiny dots all over the image using poster-color paint.


17. Sorta like this angle.. I find it pretty. Hehe..

A little close-up.



Paper: A3 drawing paper.

Medium: 0.7 mechanical pencil, 0.38 pen, poster color, cheap watercolor, Collen and Faber Castell color pencils.


Haiz, the scanner ate some of the colors off.. Making this looking so dull..


Edit a little with ps.. I can't stand the boring background..

Rainy..

Random junk again..
The sketch was done around June.. I only scan this recently.. throw in some simple coloring here and it's done.. JUNK... (dunno what the heck am I drawing..)


Only realize her head seems huge after I colored the image.. XP

PS watercolor scenery II

Trying to make custom watercolor brushes.. Finally, I sorta did it.. Yeah~!
Now then~!! Trying out the new watercolor effect brush~!!



Tada~! Random digital painting.. Took about 5-6 hours.. I know this is not the best..I can't paint very well.. No references.. However I'm sure it's better than THIS PREVIOUS PIECE Click Here~! It's fun blending with different colors. This is the original color. Size: 2024 x 1518 px..



Yah... I still can't get use to soft colors shading .. so, change it with selective color option then blur it hehe..

Lennon..

Just a random image.. my OC character.. Actually, I'm messing around with the opacity and flow.. I wanted to try out watercolor effect painting something like that.. but I still fail..


A digital sketch.. Yup.. He is a fox. Not a cat.. meow.. Trying to sketch without guide line is strange..
1. I notice there are some mistakes so I erased some part and sketch again..
2. You can see I've made some changes..


Didn't bother to do lineart.. Trying to paint in low opacity and flow.. This is the original color..



After that, I start to go nuts again with the blending options using selective color option and color balance again.. plus, add in some textures too..


Try out changing the image with channel mixer.. I notice his left ear seems as if it's missing.. XD


Last and final.. It ended up like this.. I really love how it turns out. Even though his hair colors seem to blending in with the bg color..

New Junk..

Wow.. when is the last time I upload and drawings or sketches? Let me see.. Hmm.. 5/11/09 that's like 2 months ago.. XP Finally, I can post drawings.


Just finish my so call re-coloring piece in ps.. (wait so long haven't reboot.. don't care already.. I'll just install first.. later then reinstall after he reboots..)

The sketch was done around late June (bro fix the computer.. well, not exactly.. the computer still restart by itself or hang once awhile..)

Lineart drawn with Opencanvas..


Left: Comparing the difference..
Just done in late June.. Colored with OC.. I'm not very good with OC.. This is the best I can do..

Right: This is the recolored piece.. Sort add on coloring actually.. I'm more comfortable with ps.. hehehe.. I'm still not very satisfied with the simple background.. looks so simple..


and so.. SEE... I went crazy again with background and foreground.. From skintone, clothing to background.. Changing colors, hues and so on.. Adding layers and layers of textures.. (seems like I prefer heavy texture.. )


The final piece..
Original size: 1500x1500 pixels.


Lastly, what I'll always do: flatten all layers. Then duplicate new layer. Next, Gaussian Blur the image.. set to: softlight mode. Re-duplicate the second layer then change the Opacity to 30% (depends..) and set the layer to screen mode.. Voila~! It's done.. XD

Yes~!!! I can finally post an entry..

Yes~!!! I can finally post an entry..

It's already happened yesterday.. the New Post lookin so strange.. I don't know what is wrong with my post entries... Where is the edit mode, compose mode and the rest of the icons gone too?!!!

No matter how I click save or the post options links.. ALL NOT FUNCTIONING~!! I can't save or publish any post.. The status bar will show a Error on page.
Ehhh.. Just now still can publish and save leh... Why like this?? (very puzzled.) I've tried deleting cache and everything..

However, it's still no use..
Not sure if it's the IE problem.. Headache arh.. What to do?!!


Dunno why it ended up like this?!

Edit: After looking around the Blogger help section I realize I'm not the only one facing this issue.. now the issue is solved. (I hope..)

PS watercolor scenery..

I'm gonna dump this in the junks catagory.. Trying out something..
Very random painting.. (I can't paint nature.. ) I sorta fail..

The original piece..

Change color with selective color option..

I just realize how messy the 'Label' 'Category' tag is while moving the old drawings here.. everything all mix up.. need to organize it.. ZZZZzzzzzzz... must separate the posts...

Boohooo....

Just opened my e-mail.. and I just saw an important notice from Yahoo Geocities.. GeoCities is closing!!! 怎么会这样啊！ They will be closing on October 26, 2009. Less than 3 months time..

What~!!! Noo~!!!

Meaning: My first time made crappy website (my playground) hosted at Geocities: A Simple Yume which has been around for 4 years will no longer appear or exist on web anymore~! All my efforts gone to waste.. Spent so many days/weeks/months just trying to make a simple website.. took me sometime trying to thinking of a crappy website name leh.. ToT I was attach it for so long.. Now no more... That was my first time ever to showing my drawings on the internet.. now will vanish forever~!! Pardon me for my swah-koo-ness. cough.. XP
It took me lots of courage to show my ugly drawings to the world..I've no confidence..


Now.. I have to find a new web hosting site to post my drawings online before October 26, 2009... Siao liao.. also must change all the links and some watermarkings..

A Simple Yume website will forever live in my heart/mind.. (Dumb thoughts..)

Oh well... What can I do... Hmmm.... (scratch head)

The Conclusion..

Never mind then.. I'll move/upload the all drawings from: A Simple Yume to my blog here ZiSeYueLiang's Corner.. Yup.. Other than that.. I'm tired of finding a new free web hosting sites.. (geez.. the com is packed hope still have space to put in the com.. )

I've to start diggin' all the old drawings out from my website and from my saved files too...

幸せだ！

Shiawase da~!! Just simple minor things.. (though I find it rather silly blogging over simple thing..)

Yah.. I really love to eat egg omelets and scramble eggs.. Once in a blue moon, I’ll cook some and eat.. hehe..

Feels like cooking this simple food today.. But didn’t buy any milk.. What to do.. Heheheeh.. I sort of remember there is a tin of milk powder mum brought it not long ago.. (For me to drink only just in case when I get gastric attack.) Ask my mum to make a small cup of milk.. and start cooking away..

I wanted to cook scramble eggs but somehow last minute during cooking I fold the egg in half.. (Since mum wants the scramble eggs to be thick but at the same time soft.. ) Dang! it turns into egg omelets instead..
(Usually when we cook egg omelets, we’ll always cook until the skin turns golden brown instead... not pale yellow like scramble eggs color.. plus the ingredient like milk was not added to it.. )
Somehow, it taste delicious.. So I did another one for bro and lastly made one for myself..

Mostly, I prefer the egg omelet or rather scramble eggs looking thick outside but at the same time, inside still soft and a bit moisture. That always taste the best.. Indeed it does, I was making yummy noises throughout the whole meal! Bro thinks I’m nuts and exaggerating.. lol
But it truly tastes wonderful!!
Perhaps because of the milk powder..

I find it rather amusing.. Me going nuts over such simple stuff.. so stupid sia..
But I just can’t help it leh..


This is how I felt while I ate the egg omelet. Ummmmmm!!!! Yummy!! Shiawase Da~! 真的很幸福呀!

Roronoa Zoro sketch III

Another sketch of Roronoa Zoro.


Sketch this last night.. shoulder out of position.. dunno how to draw it properly..


The characters belongs to Eiichiro Oda.

Roronoa Zoro sketch II

Another sketch of him.. hehe..

The characters belongs to Eiichiro Oda.

Roronoa Zoro sketch.

Roronoa Zoro from One Piece~!! He's one of my favourite characters in one piece so far!!
Just a sketch of him..

I find it difficult to draw.. Especially it's hard to let zoro look younger in my drawing..

I need references of his face. So searching around the internet through i-pod touch.. and then draw it out..


The characters belongs to Eiichiro Oda.

Junk sketch again..

breeze..

Totally crappy sketch..

smile..

Random-ness again..

Junk..

Just junk.. These days didn't draw much.. Inspirations mode extremely low.. Dunno what the heck am I drawing these days..

Untitle..

Don’t know what to name.. so I’ll just leave it untitled..

Taking the risk of com shutting down suddenly during coloring, dunno when it will shut off and restart by itself.. XP

This is the only colored piece I've done last month.. I've not been doing any coloring for many weeks.. not able to produce any good drawings lately.. Including this piece..


The original color..


Change the color and add in more textures into the drawing..


Close-up of her face.. I like her eyes.. but somehow.. I only realize that her face was out of portion after I finish coloring the whole picture.. Arhh...
