Grump...

Alright, I admit, I am a little grumpy.

Last Saturday was the t-shirt festival and yup, my design didn't sell well.

I guess this could be use as a lesson; for me to realize that I have much more work to do for my design skill to be at professional level. Yes, I do realize that. Yes, I came home and practice. No, I did not deal with it well.

Grrrrrr....how I was grumpy.

Drawing for me is not so difficult anymore: I see fish I can draw fish. Graphic on the other hand is somthing not yet in my grasp: here's a bottle make it look cool. I could careless and not bother to spend my time on somthing I'm not good at. BUT, graphic design is an essential skill for an artist to find a job, so buhu, I do need to learn it.

Grrrrrrr....(sorry, that shall be my last groan).

Well, because of the let down  on that day, today I decided to look to the wild side for a little inspiration.

....Hmmmm, I have to find a certain style to stick to don't I?

To the future

Did this during my free time.

Got to keep on being creative. Never to stop. Have to look ahead to the future. Need to try harder.

A little doodle heavily inspired by Red Nose Studio.
Chris Sickels is a wonderful artist whose quirky and wonderful works have became my subject of admiration. Truly love the detailing and color pallette he uses. Go check out his website, Red Nose Studio, you'll be mesmerize by all his whimsical characters!

Classic Folks

It's a long holiday and heck yes, I got tons of time to work on my various projects (will be update soon! So please wait and see).

Right here is a piece of illustration I did a few days ago. I'm thinking about spinning it into a collection of some kind. At the moment is the process of idea gathering: maybe calender, a book, or something... something.

From sketch to finish.

Lastly, seems like (very evident actually), I have developed a love for texture. It helps to give depths and roughness to an illustration. The homey, cozy feel that it creates convince me that this is a style, I from now on, will try to archieve and maintain.
