A... Zine?

This is indeed very strange






But what was I to do!

Tumblr!

Hello! I've opened a tumblr account, seeing how difficult it is to blog from my mobile.

I will take photos of doodles, sketches (and other things, such as my friends, and try to pass it off as photography) and my life (and stuff). I shall be vague here, since I do not know what I will post. Hehe!

See you!

In a nutshell

A few sketches and stuff that I have been doing. Everything is taken with my phone, unless otherwise stated. I don't really hae time to (ok, just being lazy) to scan in and adjust the colours and all..




During soccer lecture. I'm not the most attentive student around.

The following sketches were done in my square book, with Tombo Playcolour2 marker. I'm testing out a new medium. I quite like this marker so far, but I'm still getting used to it.


One of my favourite subjects.

A landscape?


it writes nicely as well.


Can you believe i did this without drawing guidelines? I can't. Haha! Used a photo for reference.




Self-portrait. Sat on my bed staring at a mirror.
And here is me getting an Airbrush tattoo!

I don't think I will be getting a real one.. Too afraid of regrets.







Have a great day!

Horsing around

I have been busy with school, and doodling to keep sane (and awake).

Cupcakes and Cookies

Two days of baking. I have no idea what came over me. Buttercream vanilla cupcakes.

Some have chocolate chips in 'em!

A pretty swirl


okay, so I went a little mad with the toppings.


My sister decorated one.




Peanut butter cookies!

 I have gone slightly mad. What next? Knitting?

A portrait after... A Long time.

Pencil.
























Aarif Lee, actor and musican. This is not fanart.
Haven't used pencils for a long time, and also haven't been drawing potraits. Sadly, this was done from a photograph, which is good practice, but nothing like drawing from a live model.

However, for some strange reason I feel like drawing again. A little.

And I've been baking a bit.

Pictures of that coming soon!

Have a great day!

Bunny - Bunny Auditore

This was done for someone because he was obsessed with Assassin's Creed and he said, "Hey, I have an idea for you!" and half an hour later...























(I even added the Leap of Faith details and you would notice little dart like thingies on Bunny's coat. Those are safety pins. Relax, they are very safe.)

Have a good day!

Comic con!

So today Janell and I headed down to Comic Con and boy was it inspiring!

Here are some photographs from today:










An incredibly inspiring are the people I've met as well.

 Click here to read about all the artists!

My favourites, at glance are:

1) Gunawan Lo
2) Bitter Stickgirl - whom i did not get a chance to meet! Pity! I read her book.. So nice!)
3) Chin Yew - Also did not get to meet.. Love his comics! His style is super cute.
4) Andrew - Really nice guy, great comics.
5) Dave Chua - This is the kind of thing that inspires me!

I do feel that there should be more female graphic artists! The girls there tended to do more of manga-style things, which is ok, but wouldn't it be interesting to read something from a female perspective? Hehe I'm jut saying.

I had a great day, and hopefully in two years, I would have my own booth, maybe?

Have a good day!

And an important lesson taken from today:
Draw from life. :)

A Bunny Story - Zine

Hehe! On a whim, and also egged on by HH, I decided to create these "zines" and hand them out at the Comicon tomorrow! Heehee! Then again, I'm not that brave, nor thick-skinned to roll with the pros, so they'd probably just stay in my bag.... But it was fun doing these!

Mini-zine.. 12 pages!

I will be doing proper copies and make them avaliable on Etsy soon.

Bunny the carrot thief

When doing Bunny, i realised i no longer did short, stand alone stories.. So this is one of them! Hehe.

Enjoy!

Shoezy -memo pad

I love the kraft paper cover, and the grid paper.. And it felt natural to draw my favourite shoes on the front. Favourite heels, that is. Hehe.

I used archival ink so it won't fade away in like, twenty years. Hopefully.

This is one of the shoes that will be appearing in my Shoe zine, which is still a WIP.

Have a good day!





Of course, available at my shop, unless sold! Hee hee.

Let me show you how

One more sketch for the night.

This time with my tablet. You can see how it was done on my odosketch pad below the image.

Self?

I did this in class today, while presentations were going on.

I have not used a mouse to draw in ages, having grown accustomed to my tablet at home. So this was quite a challenge for me.








I love Odosketch, it's nice and illustratey and the colours and the overall effect. :D

Another msn doodle

Janell was demanding I did a comic on demand.

Each frame was drawn indivdually, to appease her insatiable comic appetite.
























Layout by Janell again. :)
