The Hunger Games

Finally I finished the 3 audiobooks of The Hunger Games. First time to finish a fiction in years! So I did a sketch based on a photo and made a simple illustration with my own twists based on the sketch.

Missed Connection 2

I really love this cute piece in Missed Connection. It's based on a note a guy wrote to a girl. He met her on the train, him reading a book and her reading newspaper. All of sudden, she fared a flatulence and she just chuckled it away. The guy apparently didn't mind this and wanted to see her again! You really have to laugh at this. So funny and cute!

Teddy Girls

Was reading an article about Teddy Girls, the female gang culture in the 50's. Was amazed by their fashion sense and strong imagery.

Boy with Book

Finished a few pages of Missed Connection over the weekend and liked a boy image very much. So I added a little earring to his ear and changed his shirt to a graphic-T. The book he's holding has a title now, Paris vs. New York, which is another illustration book I've been enjoying.

Potomac River Illustration

Was working on an illustration piece for my friend Guy. He took some beautiful photos over the Potomac River in DC and he asked me to turn the photos into some illustrations. Finished the kayaks today and the rest is a challenge for me: the water. I'll have to think of a way to present the water in a realistic manner but also with a bit majestic feel.

Revisiting Orange

Did another sketch of Orange this morning along with some others. His face still is the most interesting.

Life Drawing 3

Last night's model was a chatterbox. She talked all the time during the breaks. And she ate whenever she got a chance. She might be a bit overweight, but I found this classic and renaissance beauty in her curves and her hair. It was a wonderful night sketching her!

Lorraine

Did a quick sketch of our receptionist. I'm looking forward to tonight's life drawing session at OCAD. Who'll be tonight's model?

Faces

Going back to faces with just black and white. The ink pen I recently bought is giving me nice strokes.
