WIP

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! ^^

Sketching

I've been wanting to learn to draw for a long time, so now that the school hols are coming hope I can find more time to work on it!

Yay(:

Amagi Brilliant Park, Sento

By far my favourite anime this fall^^

control over the liner was horrible D: looks like some crappy digital drawing.. and the colours too ahhh her skin looks like its rotting :'( Her eyes aren't as dark or well-blended as it should be too..

Either way hoping I can learn to just digitalise it directly, would save the sketching right?

Goals: learn to sketch, paint, then digitalize

faux chalk!

My new project! A chalk effect typography. I hope to put this in class, so I hope the words don't fade or get dusty.. :/

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me

-Philippians 4:13 

The front is black acrylic paint, and the words are written with a white charcoal pencil. the side's brown and black dilute acrylic paint. (: alterations were made using a dry paint brush to erase mistakes. An extra effect to use dry pastel powder and wipe across  front with tissue paper

.. I had a spelling error > ~ < heheh luckily managed to correct it later..

Steam train

Happy belated birthday Anu!! :D

Made this for a friend's birthday! I hope she liked it <3 it's got kinda funky colors, but I really didn't want it to look so dull >< I have no idea what a guest book's supposed to look like, but I hope the train kinda explains it?

Ol'fashioned steam train - aged hotel guest book

I started by covering the sketch book with some yellowed out easel paper (right)

Then sketched a sketching of s steam train from google images (not very original..)

Changed the shapes and outlined with a marker

used charcoal, dry pastels, midliners (marker) and water color pencils to color everything in

stuck on some other stuff I sketched/copied and done! ^^

the final picture on top's edited… I have to admit the colour's weird! :/

colouring: part 3

Oops, haven't posted in a while :3 ahh well... I've recently finished a couple more projects:D this one's pretty old but it really took a long time to colour it anyways:)

wheeeee
