Digital Painting "with Rabbit"

Am on one week leave this week, so I decided to draw and paint.

Here are the progress pics.

I believe that my skills have improved!

Sketch.

Started painting.

Can't think of a better title. So I'd just stick to "Mirror" first. WIP.

Royal Lady Digital Painting - The journey

I salute all the painters who can consistently and persistently keep drawing and painting. Completing this one piece of work is a very long process for me -- took me about 78 hours! I am a basic learner, I guess that is why I am painfully slow. **sweat**

The completed work.


===========

The long journey began...

The sketch. This was what I had in mind. It is important to have a reference picture as a base. Thereafter I modified to what I want.

WIP 1. This is after several hours of work. I realised the face was too big for her and decided to down scale it. I took a break and started pondering over it. This helps me to identify the flaws.



WIP 2. Corrected the flaws. And painted the clothes. The head-dress looked far from good so I decided to scrap it.


Worked for more hours today. There are still lots of flaws. Fine-tuning is required. But my interest in continuing her today is wearing out thin. =P So it is considered done!

Thanks for dropping by. Thanks especially to those who have been giving me encouragement -- You give me the fuel to continue! =)

Updated - New WIP - completed piece

Updated - finished piece

=========================

Another attempt in photoshop painting. This time, I was faster. Also had the chance to try new techniques. This version is a slightly better piece of work than my previous one. It is still a WIP, I felt tired after finishing the eyes. Really salute those who can complete a painting in one sitting. Let's see if I can finish this by next weekend.

Thanks for dropping by! ^_^ Gambate to myself!

another drawing

Am into a drawing frenzy these 2 weeks. ^_^ I am learning to use Photoshop to sketch and paint. Never good in painting but photoshop seems to make things slightly easier.

This is what I have done so far. Not fantastic but I am happy because I am improving in my skills. Call it a far-fetched dream but I believe I can be considered good in this one day!

Have a GREAT weekend!!

WIP

Realised eraser works wonders on drawings! This is WIP, for as long as I want. For the moment, I will stop here. I'm making little little progress and I am happy!

I still love drawing after so many years

When I said "many years", I really mean it! Started doodling on unwanted magazines (for those who can remember this "must-have" TV magazine back in the old old days... 电视广播周刊) since I was very young. I believe this hobby was greatly influenced by my elder brother. We used to draw and make up stories. Don't ask me how we did that, we managed to have hours of fun drawing alongside each other.

Close to 30 years have gone by... I still love to draw. More so, I love to see other people's work. Am always captivated by the talented artists who draw for a living. In case you have not found deviantART, this is a wonderful place where LOADS of artists gather to showcase their work, sketches and WIPs.

I just added my humble sketch to my site at deviantART. =)  Hope you like it.

EtsyBlogger Carnival - My favourite creation

For this month's EtsyBlogger Carnival, I am submitting my contribution on the topic relating to "My Favourite Creation".

This picture below shows my painting done sometime end of last year, before I started work with my current employer. Why is it so special? Because it was my first painting after 10 years or so (since graduation from high school). Eversince I stepped out into the working society, I stopped painting. It felt so wonderful when I finally finished this drawing.
It is far from good but it is still an achievement to me... And hence my favourite creation.

(used Acrylic paints)

I am doing another painting right now, it is about 70% completed. I hope there will be more (I must stop being so lazy!!!).

The weekend is here

I just LOVE this drawing - the bob hairstyle, her eyes and nose. What a lady with character! Love it so much that I bought it last night. Check out this talented artist's etsy shop. And her lovely gallery.

Next on my "To-Buy" list should be from Art.and.Ghost. She is so artistic and creative. Some of my favourites include:-

The weekend is finally here. A routine of sleeping late the previous night, getting up late on Saturday, lazing around, going out for some shopping... I love Saturdays!

Perhaps it was the red wine that I drank (we had girls' night out on Friday) or perhaps I was too tired... I travelled to dreamland and had one of the most amazing dreams - I became a mother and I saw my son. A child of less than one year old and he was riding on my hubby. I can't recall his features now but I know he was a cute sweet boy. Naughty he was, pulling hubby's hair gently and chuckling non-stop. That was a strange dream as both me and hubby never plan to have any kids. I guess I caught a feel on how it's like to be a mother - full of love for the baby and great joy too. Blessed are all the mothers in the world as they are able to enjoy this love that they have for their kids. As for me, I still maintain my decision that we will not have a child, not at this moment.
