STM's July challenge

2009-07-22T05:20:00.000-07:00

here's my take for the STM's challenge "If today was my last day..."

STILL LIFE (COLOUR PENCIL DRAWING)

2009-05-19T20:48:00.000-07:00

Heya'all Sorry for the lack of updates. I've been busy with my works and preparations for my girls' big exam this year. The previous work is not yet finished but im currently working on colour pencil drawing demonstration on still life arrangement. So here is the current progress. Feel free to ask me anything about pencil colour application.

As usual, the very first step should always be sketching the objects (Dont take too long on sketching...it should be around 10 minutes and not more than 20 minutes) Since the exam period will only give you 2hrs and 30 minutes to get it done. Try to set your time on sketching, drawing the details and applying colours. When it comes to still life or observational drawing, try to set your focus and give more times on the textures and color tones to give better outcomes.

As you can see, i prefer to spend my times on the fabric texture.

I will try to upload the next progress as soon as possible. Check it out within few days or tomorrow yeah....

thanks for visiting.

Reproduction of Art (Vincent Van Gogh)

2009-02-24T20:22:00.000-08:00

Hey there...sorry for the late updates due to limited time. Here's my latest class tutorial on Reproduction of Art by Vincent Van Gogh. It's part finished. Still in the progress. Im currently working on oil pastel medium to try Van Gogh's postimpressionism style. Van Gogh is one of my favorite artists. I love his style the way he painted his work, filled with emotions and dramatic colors.

Get used with few sketches for your portfolio before u do your final drawing. Try every color mediums as much as possible to find which color you are most comfortable with and give better outcomes . Below is my practice on oil pastel medium.

Quick sketch using pencil. Then apply the background colors first.

Get used with color schemes by the side of your drawing will help a lot in producing good outcomes.

Practising on the eye part.

This is it for now..there will be more progress on this painting soon.

Happy chinese New Year

Portrait Drawing in watercolor

2008-08-10T19:33:00.000-07:00

Below is my watercolor drawing progress of my little niece portrait. As usual, i quickly sketched the facial expression based on the photo. And i always enjoy using pen to sketch anything especially portrait drawing. Below is the process of the whole watercolor drawing.

A quick sketch using ink pen.

Apply the yellow color lightly for background, skin, hair.

Next, apply the light yellowish brown (mixed it with yellow to produce a lighter brown)

Apply more yellowish brown, layering it.

Apply another brown for the darker part as well as red color.

Apply brown and black for the hair.... lightly.

Adding some drawing in the background and applying light blue for the clothes.

Final touch up includes darker tones.

This is just a quick watercolor drawing demonstration which took me only 10 mins for the sketching and the rest of 30-40mins for the watercolor. If you took more time, you will surely produce a better portrait drawing. Remember, practice is important.

Exercise: Now you can quickly grab any of ur favorite self-portrait and do your own self-portrait drawing in any color medium. You can either send a copy of your drawing (in jpeg file) by emailing me at thebabehs@gmail.com or give your link in the comment before 30th August 2008.

be back soon with my scrapbooking LO :o)

Landscapes in Watercolor

2008-07-30T20:12:00.000-07:00

I did this quick watercolor painting few days ago..during my afternoon class..just a quick demonstration for some students.... Using the new Staedtler Noris club watercolor, to see how good the quality of this product will show in the painting. The outcomes is quite satisfying eventho it's not as good as my expensive palletes i bought oversea. But at least this is the best i can find for the students to use. Quite a reasonable price for them to buy.

So this is the progress of my simple watercolor painting of a landscape based on the picture from the Artist's Magazine.

Firstly, i did a quick sketch of the whole landscape using a black pilot ink pen. Just a rough sketch, i dont really like to sketch in details.

Secondly, quickly apply lightest blue. Brush lightly, using a little bit of water. not too much water..or else u will spoil the paper. Leave the white space for the clouds and lighting effect on the water of the river.

Next, apply the dark blue color lightly, for the darker area.

More dark blue color..but this time overlaying the previous dark blue. This is to show a much more darker area.

Now it's time to apply the yellow color for the leaves, grass, jungle.

Next, apply the light green onto some part of the yellow area to show the darker side.

Next will be applying more green color, where most of the part are much more greener.

Now apply the dark green for the parts where it is much darker.

Finally, apply black color for the darker tones and for the shadows.

This is such an easy exercise. If you do more practice, the more satisfying the outcomes will be. I believe in the sayings "Practice makes perfect". Even if it's not perfect..but at least you will see how progressive you will be. Have a try!
