Weekend sketches

Sat we went to the Welcome Collections at Euston Square. This is the view outside their cafe. Don't really like this painting at all, didn't use the colour well, kinda lack of depth :S oh well... though I'd post it anyway,


Later in the afternoon we went to Starbucks at Carnaby street for a rest before dinner.


Did this painting of Angus at 606 club Sat evening, it was a nice Jazz club, I enjoyed the music, food was average. On Sunday, we went to Carluccio's at Canary Wharf again for the best Tiramisu :) It's really a pleasant place to hangout for the afternoon, staff were very friendly, Tiramisu is the best I've had in London.

Face studies

All of sudden I become obsessed with drawing faces, I just really want to be very good at it but I know it takes practice so I guess I'll just have to draw a lot of them, I'm getting faster though.

Varies studies of Alper, I like the first one better.




This one is drawn from a photo Justin took at the Karate Kid Premiere at Leicester Square, I hope this looks like who he supposed to be... well, if not then blame Justin, it's not a very good photo he took! :P

These are some stuff I did over the past few weeks, just didn't have the chance to upload them. Not the best sketches, wish I can get out more and do more of them, but sadly here in London the weather's not been always pleasant in weekends. Now that it finally is, I'm too busy watching world cup :P


Went Sketching with Edison 2 weeks ago when he's here in London with me.


I always got caught up in details and ended up never finish the whole picture, so I timed myself on this one for 10 minutes from across the street and this is it.


Another timed sketch and somehow I managed to get the prospective totally wrong. Oh well, it's the corner pub I visit at least 3 times a week. It's just around the corner from where I work. Everyone from work goes there. We call it the "Golden usual" place.


The lazy man playing his game on Sunday.


I'm so excited that I'm almost done with the Japanese album project that I started 2 months ago. I think within a week or 2 I'll upload what's actually in it :D YAY!

Sketches

Today I have arranged my desk so now I'll be able to easily scan my stuff and update them more frequently.

This is Ben, I sit next to him at work.


Went to this French Restaurant in Soho the other day with some friends. Drew this while waiting everyone to arrive. Food was brilliant!


These are some quick sketches I did on the tube. Had to do them really quickly so they don't notice that I'm staring at them like a freak :P


Went to Greenwich park with Alper yesterday. It was very sunny and warm.

Sunday

David came to stay with us for the weekend from Geneva, we had a very busy Sat with a lot of other friends so Sunday we just stayed at home for the evening.

On the bus home...


It just happens I drew them both on the same page, they are not really touching each other or anything :P

Updates

It's been couple of months. I haven't been updating, in fact I haven't been drawing much. Life got quite busy for the past 3-4 months. I was traveling for quite a bit towards the beginning of this year but everything happened so fast I barely had time to sketch. And then I moved to London 2 months ago for a new job :) Life only got busier after that... Finally I got my internet working at home and a few spare moments to upload some of these sketches I did over the past few months. Looking at them I realize I need to sketch more :(

This is a sketch I did on the plane flying to China last Dec


This is a sketch I wish I had finished. The view from the window of my home in Beijing, we live on 18th floor, this is one side of the street, I kinda miss it only wish I remember what's on the other side of that street :(


I was sick the first month I arrived London, this is the sketch I did when I was waiting in the medical center on a Sunday afternoon.



I did this one last night. Alper was playing Rockband on the sofa looking very serious. To be honest, I think those plastic guitar looks quite ....hm.... let's just say "funny"!

Alper

This is Alper, this is the 3rd time I tried to draw him.

Another Alper

Did another Alper from a photo of him I took. I wish I can master watercolour in a day! :( It's so hard... but I think this one looks cleaner cos it's in ink, I like ink with watercolour

Alper

This is another try of Alper using pencil and water colour
