Happy Chinese New Year...

Happy Chinese New Year to all......Will be updating my blog after CNY..

The Potato Couch Workout cont.

Hi..Part 3 of Potato Couch illustration. I have added a pant for my Mr Potato Couch. This is Yogi's idea to put it as a pocka dot pants...:P
Today I have been browsing around the whole day. Finding inspirations, ideas & most of all goals to get me going...I have a new goal today. I wanted to work for Warner Bros one day...hehe. Because of that, I have make up my mind to study on illustration for two solid hour everyday...mainly practicing & improving my skills so that one day I can be proud of myself.

I saw a site with nice illustration..I wanted to be just like him one day.

Headers for Beauty Blogs

This is what I have been playing around today. Some blog header design. The headers below are created using Adobe Illustrator CS3. All the pretty girls down there are firstly drawn on paper before I actually captured the image using a camera. After that as usual, I outlined the whole illustration again using a Pen tool in Illustrator. Then, the same process to colored the whole illustration take place. After all those hard work you will actually get the results you have always wanted.

It is not that easy to generate idea all at one time. So, is normal for you to create something not that nice at the first place then slowly working to improve it bit by bit as your inspiration & creativity comes along....So keep on trying & trying whenever you feel stress or losing out of idea.

The Potato Couch Workout

Hi.. It has been quite a while since I last entered a contest in 99Designs.com. Today, I'm quite proud of myself. I actually completed 1 design for the Potato Couch Workout contest. It is actually a series of card that the contest holder wanted to do. The winner got the chance to designs the whole series of the card.

First, I take a photograph of the design drawn (another option if you don't have a scanner). Then, I used Adobe Illustrator to redraw the outline. I have actually tried in with Adobe Photoshop as well however, there are certain criterias that made me choose Adobe Illustrator at the end. After that, I color the design. Finally, put down some shadows on the design to make the character looks more realistic.

For your information, you can either use Adobe Illustrator or Adobe Photoshop to color your t illustration. It is really up to you. Both of the softwares are almost the same but not quite. The way you do something in Illustrator is different compare to Photoshop. You can play around with both of the tools & see which one really suits you.

This is the potato character I come up with.





This is the final product after, 5 hours of hard work. What do you think? I have always wanted to become a hardcore illustrator. I envy those who really good at it. This is all my hard work after trying & trying few times. I always wanted to know how some of the illustrators can have a smooth texture on the illustrations they did. Always post those questions to them whenever I saw a nice illustration either in a blog or youtube or devianart. But, no one seems to answer to any of my questions. My friend said every successful illustrator have their own secret that they won't really want to share with others. So, I have no other choice but experience it by myself...

Angels

Do you guys believe in angels? I do. I believe in magical creatures such as mermaids, angels, fairies, gnomes & etc. I love reading stories about anything magical. I might be too old to be reading fairytales or things like that however, sometimes is nice to know that there is something magical happens around you. It might not need to be real. But, when you come to think about it, it might be exciting & thrilling at the same time.

I love angels...I believe each of us have our own angel looking & guiding after us. They are there right beside us looking over our shoulder. And when time comes, they will use their magical power on us.

I drew a few angels last month. I love the process of drawing the wings. If I draw fairies, I will concentrate more on the wings as well. I tried to make them as pretty & magical as possible.

Handmade 'Take Care' Card for Swee Ling

Part 1- The Card
***********************************************************************************

Hi all. Here is the handmade 'Take Care' Card for Swee Ling. This time I have used a mailbox shape as a card. First of all, I cut out 3 rectangulars from the card. Then, I glued the darker red paper on the card as well as the purple color tag. After that, I glued the owl & a girl on it. Finally, some touch up on the card by drawing some flowers on the darker red paper.

Handmade 'Take Care' Card for Abi & Yogi

Part 1 - Idea's Generation ***********************************************************************************
My friends, Yogi & Abi will be going to Bangalore this Sat. I feel very sad. I won't have anyone to chat & disturb for 3 months..what a torture. I have made these cards for both of them. I spent approximately 1 day doing it.

These cards are easy to make. What you need is get a couple of ideas & send them running. I have drew a few images that I wanted to use in my cards. Then, starts get crazy sticking & gluing things on the card. Not to forget, choose the color of the cards that you want to work on.
No limits, no boundaries just do what you feel like doing until you have expressed on the ideas you have in your mind. Get some ribbons & gold dust if you want to put them in as well.

Part 2 - Gluing, Pasting & Have Fun
*************************************************************************************
This is Yogi's card. I have made a heart shape card. First of all, before I get started, I have been searching high & low for blade. Don't have 1 that time. I poke a few rectangular holes on the card so that I can put in the ribbon (a gold ribbon actually :P) After that, I paste some paper that I have cut using my newly bought pattern scissors. Notice I have pasted some hearts on the card. Lastly, paste the girl & the 'Sending some love' tag on the left hand corner. Tada..there you have it a beautiful handmade card for your friend. Don't forget to drop a few words in the card for them...



This is the card for Abi. This card I have made it as into an envelope. First of all, I have folded the card. Then, I have pasted 2 ribbons on the card. After that, I have pasted the paper that I have cut using the pattern scissors on it. On top of the paper, I have glued a fake ribbon. Lastly, I glued the girl & flowers (made by myself) plus doodle some flowers on the card. Not to mention, scribbled a few words in the card.


Part 3 - Happy Moments
*************************************************************************************
This is my friends reaction when they received the cards...happy I guess. Actually is not a guess, they were actually happy. You can see it on their face. Me too were happy. Sometimes, when you give something that you have spent so much time making it to the people tat you planned to give, you will a lso feel that happiness surrounding you. :p
