woman portrait

I find it extremely hard to paint female portraits, they never look who they were supposed to be, so I'm not even gonna say who this is meant to be, assume this is just some woman portrait I paint off a picture. I still enjoy it alot, especially the colouring part, I wish there is a colouring book for adult water colour enthusiasts, like me :) So I don't have to sketch them myself in order to paint. I do enjoy sketching as well but it can be discouraging when it doesn't turn out looking so womanly.

Watercolour really does not go well with the moleskine sketchbook paper. It doesn't stick to the paper and if you put soap on it, it become like marker, colour get absorbed completely the moment they get in contact with the paper, you can not work with it or wash it off or anything! And it bleed thru badly...

Happy Thanksgiving!

This is the kitchen in my house. I did this while waiting for the turkey to be cooked in the oven. I had a great thanksgiving and the turkey was fantabulous!! ^_^

Dr.Sketchy sketches

Here are some sketches I did during Dr.Sketchy last night. I didn't quite like how my drawings of the actual model turned out, I found that I prefer to draw people in their natural poses.

Self portrait 01

I don't think I have actually done a self portrait before. I just don't quite like the idea of uglifying myself. So, as how I expected, This doesn't really look like me, I'm just glad it doesn't look too ugly, I'll try again maybe with ink next time.

@ Sophie's on 4th

I bought myself a bigger size moleskine sketchbook today, sometimes the pocket size just isn't quite enough for the bigger pictures :) Being very excited I went in Sophie's next door afterward. A very retro diner, sometimes there is a long line, I tried once before, didn't like the food. This was my second time, didn't order food this time, other reason was I'm kinda against the idea of eating alone in a restaurant, eating to me is a social activity seems. However when I have my moleskines, it's a different story, I kinda like being by myself nowadays more than I ever was. This bald man in my sketch demanded me to turn my sketchbook over and show him, so I did and he didn't comment, hm.... maybe he didn't like that I drew him bald? Anyway, wish that I could have more time to colour it there, it is a colourful and fun place to draw, sure I will revisit it someday, so maybe I'll colour it then:)
