All Wrapped Up #2
Been obsessed with clothy things, I reckon... All those tempting creases and folds and whatever. Drew this one just yesterday (28/11/2011)
Here's the step-by-step progression of another All Wrapped Up (pencil, graphite, A4).


My arsenal!
From left: architect's pencil, 3 normal 2B pencils (the black one is from Muji), an abused eraser and a Cretacolour 6B graphite

Rough sketch


Almost 1/3 of the way there... 
Shading of the little lady swathed in cloth done! 
I used the 3 2B colour pencils (all of which seem to produce different shading effects) and the abused eraser. 


Halfway! Haleyllooyah. 
For the swathy cloth, I only used the graphite. It's so nice to colour with. 

Final product
Close up #1

Close up #2
Now it's time to wrap up this post (pun intended).

White on Black

The title is so boring it hurts.

2 weeks ago, I bought an A4 Azone sketchbook., the black kind that you can decorate yourself. Those are really fun!


Front cover
 At first I did a random white thing and I stopped there. 
And then I realised it looked a bit like a bird, so I continued... 

Can you see the bird now? 
Now I think the bird should be a tad more obvious, with its eye and open beak & all. 
This was just the front, so I did the back too.

Finished product! 
Can you see the Twilight book underneath? ;)

Alas, say hello to my new sketchbook!

Pedo-saur
Hi there, 
Say a hearty hello to Pedo-saur. 

Affectionately known as Pedo-saur.
Pedo-saur here is my pedo-buddy. We love to sit together at Starbucks and perv at people who walk past. 

Pedo-saur, you are truly my best friend. 
(In all honesty I didn't mean to draw a pedo-looking dinosaur, but my friend saw it and immediately called it out so I guess there's no turning back from that one.) 

Some background info:
I love dinosaurs. Always have, always will! 

The fact that they're extinct means that pretty much every picture you've ever seen of a dino is an artist's impression. This is the only animal that has been left to a person's imagination, so who's to say Pedo-saur's neck is too long or his feet are too stumpy?

Enjoy his pedo-face.
All pencil, A4. 

PS. I just made a tumblr (check the links). Surprisingly easy to use, rather idiot-proof actually. This make idiot-like me quite happy.
