sleepyhead

This will be a quick post. I am minutes away from plopping my head onto my warm and nice pillow. Even though it's still early, my body feels dead tired. Anyway, here's a quick doodle I made when I attended an art convention. This is inspired by another artist (whose name I forgot, sorry) he created lovely monster drawings in sticky notes. I really like his work and since I only had a sticky note on hand at the time, I decided to give it a quick go. Not sure if this is something I like, but  I might draw from the idea later on.

This was one of the first doodles I made at the art convention. It was only because the initial speakers were kind of boring.

I'm Back!!

It's been awhile since I've posted anything. But now I'm back from hiatus and trying to post several sketches and doodles I've done so far. I'm still trying to finish my Sketchbook Project. Plus, I'm still busy creating shoes. Also attended an art convention awhile back so might post some of that here.

This was a drawing I made of my friend. She's also an artist and currently taking up architecture. =)

Will be posting a lot more of these small drawings. I got inspired from artist cards. Unfortunately, not that many artists are into them from where I'm from. Oh well. By the way, this was done using Steadtler Triplus Fineliners.(Yes, I finally have them!!) I love them a lot! Perfect for moleskines. 

because I still don't have my staedtlers...

Here's the last batch of illustrations I made for my friend. These are still done using four color pens. Will be uploading new trading card inspired drawings in the next couple of days, well, as soon as I get my fineliners that is.

Again, these are two separate pieces. Badly wish I hadn't scanned them at once. The colors came a bit too washed out in the scanning process too. Oh well. 

More illustrations...

Posting some more of the illustration work I did for my friend. The colors look washed out because of the scanning so pardon me for that. And I actually drew these on separate pages but the lady scanned them onto one page so they are going whichever way *sigh.* Anyway, all these illustrations were made with a 4 color pen. Enjoy!

Looking Forward

Hey, it's been a while since I've posted anything on this blog. Putting up drawings that I've done for my friend's story. I'm still waiting for my Sketchbook Project to arrive in the mail. It's been three weeks and no word yet, I wonder if it'll ever come. I'm still crossing fingers. Attending an upcoming International Art Convention in the next month. Looking forward to learning a lot of new things. Hopefully get more inspired and meeting old friends.

Will be posting the illustrations I made for my friend in the next couple of days and maybe a couple more pages from my sketchbook. See, I've been a busy bee all along!

This really won't make sense unless you have an absolutely naughty mind or you've read my friend's story. =)

getting antsy

So it's the same old story, I'm busy with shoe orders, new part-time work and drawing tons of stuff, but none of them are at a stage where I'm confident to show them. Hence, you'll just be getting a picture today.

This week I found this really neat site that helps me get and actually understand figure drawing. I've always sucked at drawing figures from my imagination which is why I'm pushing myself to learn this. Also looking forward to participating in the sketchbook project. Hopefully, I can make the submission in time. Because of this I'm getting "antsy" with a lot of things. And yes, I will be cheesy and post a picture of ants that I took with my phone.

I'm hoping to draw this one day. I just haven't gotten around to it because I know that it will be insanely meticulous. 

Black ants and their little white babies. ( I actually thought it was food at first.)

another four color pen creation

Although this picture is far from done, I wanted to show you what it looks like in the process. (Okay, so I simply don't have any finished drawing to post today.) I have several sketches on paper as well as quite a few still bobbing and floating inside my head. (Jo, I'm still coming up with some rough sketches for your story, so hang tight. =)

Anyway, for this drawing, I used my Dong-A 4 color pen again. I'm starting to just love the convenience of having four colors in one pen right in my hand whenever I need it. I got myself two other similar pens today. Although the other two were generic (it has Spongebob and Tigger as a design!) I think they work quite well.

I'll make sure to post the finished version of this once it's done.

The picture kind of makes it look weird. It looks much nicer in my sketchbook. =(
