I'm currently working on a project about the ethics of hunting.

Here's some research and sketchbook work:

Experimenting with Colour & Pattern.

Sweet Tooth

Experimenting with Colours...

Somehow it seems like vibrant, textured colours don't really go with the style of my drawing?

Need more experiments.

I'll try to do more work and post it here more often:)

Costume & Portrait

Pictures from today's Costume Portrait Day, an event organised by the UAL Life Drawing Society & ASEAN Society.

Sold two of my drawings. Thanks for supporting:)

 It was really fun getting dressed up and doing some quick sketches. Will definitely be going again.

Assessment in a day. And exhibition in a week.

W-O-R-K!

Daisy

Tattoo Design for a friend.

Hair, Birth flower, Bird

All the good things.

I actually quite like the visual.

Might consider doing a series of these flowery girls.

Haven't blogged for a while.
[ New Year Resolution - FAIL :( ]

Went to Selfridges for Sophie Stephens's life drawing session today.

 Here are some of the drawings I did:

I began with a more descriptive and realistic approach, then I gradually simplified my lines and made them look more fashion-illustration-like.

It was fun. I did at a point want to go into fashion illustration.

Got some advice from Sophie on how to get into the industry - be proactive and just do everything and anything that might catch the attention of magazine editors/fashion designers/critics!

Getting known is way more important than getting a first in your degree.

I will try to finish my website by the start of next week and get back into my blogging routine.

Once upon a time

There was a horse, and a carousel,

They told me they'd take me somewhere far,

Far from all unnecessary trouble,

And no one should ever grow old.

Up and down,

Low and high,

There goes the golden horse,

Chasing the never-stopping carriage.

Take me there, take me there

Round and round,

There goes the golden horse.

Internet at home hasn't been working (again!).

This is the blog entry for 8th Jan.

Enlightened

As part of my research for a project for uni ('Say What'), I watched Food, Inc., a documentary film about the whole food industry in the United States and how it operates.

You'll never look at dinner the same way again.

Quite true.

It really is shocking how most of us are so ignorant of where what we eat everyday comes from, and what it is actually that we are swallowing down our throats - what it consists of and all the truths behind its production.

Like most videos that mention cruelty to animals, this film really really upsets me. I cannot imagine how many animals are dying and suffering out there as I am typing this blog. I cannot believe there are still places in the world where tens of thousands of animals are mass slaughtered everyday. And yet it is more shocking how after watching footages of new born chicks being killed, skin and meat stripped off bodies of cows and pigs, people would still wanna eat meat. It is so sad and depressing that most people in the world still think animals are born to be eaten by human beings, that they do not have any feelings or compassion for these animals - they are only seen as food, not lives. 

Before condemning all these international incorporations for being responsible for the incorrect ways of food production, we really should reflect on ourselves - have we not encouraged this to happen? It is because of our demand that these companies supply such food. Although it's not really possible for us to all start growing our own food and consume only that (which would be the ideal way to minimise food waste etc), at least we could all start putting a little more thought when doing our supermarket shopping, and be more aware of where our food comes from. Things are not gonna change in a month or two, but hopefully one day we will make a difference to the current situation, because we have chosen to.

Had a cozy night in with a friend today, re-watching Finding Nemo.
The behind-scene footages were really interesting - even the slightest detail in the movie, which most audience probably don't take any notice of, involves a lot of hard work and effort. Seems fun working in an animation studio though, it must be one of the most rewarding things to see your work being screened in cinemas!

The drawing of today is of a Black Seadevil, one of the (evil) fish that appeared in Nemo.

I really would love to keep this sketchbook quite light and casual, so I can actually keep drawing in it on a daily basis. Would love to experiment more with colours and compositions too.
