a colorful sneak peek

What I'm working on...at a very very slow pace :(
I'm beginning to feel annoyed with myself.

Maybe I need to be more careful. When you try too hard to make things perfect. More likely, they will end up mediocre.

What a stunningly beautiful time-lapse movie. I can keep watching it all day.

Again, Nature is the greatest artist.

What is your favorite drawing subject?

What is your favorite drawing subject?

I think my favorite drawing subject might be butterfly as you can see here, here, here and here. What I like the most is beautiful pattern design on their wings. No man can design such beauty like Nature herself, we can only be inspired by her great work :)

I had tried to find this kind of butterfly encyclopedia book for some time. Most of the butterfly books I saw have very realistic photographic images which scare me a bit (I don't like insects). So, this book with soft-colored illustrations is just perfect for me. Take a look inside here:




So beautiful, aren't they? Maybe my next drawing would be something inspired by these lovely butterfly :)

Oh! this book comes with a comparison sheet here, very nice! :D


Hope you enjoy your day. See you with my next drawing hopefully with butterfly.:D

Butterfly Girl Sketch

Initial sketch for my new drawing collection. This is in a quite slow progress as I do it along with updating my web site. This style may look quite different from what I have done so far for my shop. It's not new to me though. I have drawn similar girls since I first started my art study.



This is the very first drawing I did when I applied for art school. The original one is hand drawn on a large drawing sheet (not sure where it is now), then I drew it again on computer. Since it's done digitally and I had limited knowledge of Illustrator program's function at the time, the drawing looks so dry to me now.



Here is another one. I think I did this for Illustration Friday on the topic of 'Mysterious' some years ago. I did some more of this style after that. Then I dropped it.

Now I find that I still enjoy sketching this kind of drawing and I think it would be great if I can incorporate this with my current sketching style. So, I'm working on it now.

Let's see what I can come up with :-)

Thanks for stopping by. Hope you have a creative day! :D
