His jacket should slant outwards instead of inwards right? Left hand a little too small too :P

First time trying the copic ciao markers! My shading is pretty bad, and the jeans are wrong. But I guess it's passable for a first try?

Pastels

Finally finished a second sketching! For some reason the colour always look a little off in the scan.. I have to say the lining has a HUGE problem (should have used a pen instead). I think the umbrella has bad shading too? I should have shaded in a shadow from the edges, to give this curved look. I would have liked the umbrella to have the same cool colour (blue) as her necklace and lace. Her bow should also have that blue too. Instead of colours with different pencils, I should have just used different intensities right? I'm not quite sure about that one.. Her hands (at least her right hand) are small and alien-y. Left eye should be smaller 'cos she's smiling. When I colour with pastel the old pencil lines can be seen through - is there anything I can do about it?

Why can I only tell these things after I've scanned them? ):

But I think the background turned out pretty well (the trees). The shading and eyes don't look as crazy as the last time either, so I would call that an improvement? (:

sketchings (without shading/the lineart) always look kinda scary. Those empty eyes and lifeless skin. 

Used normal pencil and eraser for the sketching. Of course colouring and outline of the girl is with pastel pencils. Highlight in eyes and cheeks are done with acrylic and applied with dotting tool (just cos I already have one). Lighter shades in colouring done with the help of electric eraser (from Daiso). The makes-be-happy-blue pen's from typo heheh(: For the background used pastel then rubbed/smudged with tissue paper. Also used dry pastel (Daiso also) applied with brush. The circular  patches and some wider highlights in background done with help of soft eraser. 

So excited! ^^

Camera

Polymer clay: camera (miniature)

Canon E-x1

I should not have glazed the black body. It kind of obscures the texture. But it's my first time using the pod podge dimensional magic and it worked pretty well! I'd love a more domed shape (and this is after two coats), but it set nicely, showing the colours beneath it!

shoes

I know, the horse takes up way to much space. way too much space. It doesn't even look like a horse D':  painted these for my jie jie. Really crossing my fingers for this one, but I hope she'll like it!

Heart

Polymer clay: Human Heart (realistic)

Cool right? To be honest I could never remember the pulmonary blood vessels, much less figure out how they overlap each other, so the little vessels on the extreme right and left of the heart are there just to fill the image of the heart - I don't think they actually exist :P

This is entirely red clay. After I baked the piece I painted it with a coat of diluted black acrylic, then immediately wiped it down with tissue. Then I did some extra touch-up with red and black acrylic.

I tried to have this moist effect on the heart, so I applied a pretty thick layer of the Sculpey glaze, but it turned out so wrong. Glaze does not dry transparent. It's kind of yellow with a lot of bubbles (probably because I applied it with a coarse brush). Maybe I should have used a little bit of mod podge dimensional magic instead then glazed it over..

Rabbit(:

Polymer clay: wood effect.

Actually some of the black-ish clay on my hand accidentally mixed in, so it ended up looking like that. I kind of find it annoying how the clay has glitter in it, but i guess it worked out this time:)

this bunny is supposed to be part of my sibling's christmas present
