Using Fox Orian's Influence map template, I made mine. Though I couldn't put in ALL the artists that has influenced me so far, it's still good to see some of them together like this!
Inspired by Pixar's Presto and the movie The Prestige, I felt like creating something about Magic. This time I painted the whole thing in watercolor though in the end I had to add more than few digital touches to make it read better.

It's been like ages since the last time I updated my blog and this post can't make up for it at all but what to do; I've been really busy recently and barely had time to do anything else. I don't want to admit it but sometimes even drawing and creating ain't fun no more! Anyways...it's just a practice with watercolor and color pencils. Am learning everyday...
So I decided that whenever am over-busy to upload drawings from my sketchbook. I was sitting inside the Borders bookstore listening to this soft music and I just drew my feelings I think!
Oh dear! I've been absent for a while! Am back again...hopefully! So it's just a start! I mean my brain is quiet dusty at the moment and it needs a bit time to get back on the creativity track!
I've had mixed feelings when drawing and painting this piece. I'm learning new techniques in watercolor so I thought of using some of them in this picture. Anyways...I was mainly inspired by two things, Audrey Kawasaki's amazing artworks and Marina Bychkova's beautiful dolls.
Here's my very recent work. I was switching between two medias (Photoshop and Painter) so to see if the results would turn out satisfactory. The original sketch was done in my "very dirty notebook" and ironically enough in the middle of the night! I don't know why I suddenly recalled my childhood fears, though apparently my boy character isn't scared at all but more curious. Hope you like it.
Cheers :-)
Hooray! Am learning new tricks! Well there's not much excitement in that but these days even simple news like this can paint a faded smile on my face. Anyways...here are some stuffs they're teaching us in "Illustrative Digital Imaging" class. People all around the world been doing so for ages but it's never too late to keep up! It's a line drawing, scanned and then colored in Photoshop. I wanted to depict warmth but I don't think I was quiet successful in that area! Still since it's a new media and this is just an experience, am excused!
