Merry Christmas & Happy New Year. C ya guys next year with more updates on my work.....

Copic Markers Creation

This is what I have draw previously...I have taken the picture of it using a Panasonic camera.

Another Sketch

Hi everyone. Here is my another sketch that was made for Yogi's friend birthday...She asked me to draw just the word 'Happy Birthday' but I ended up drawing more than that. Hehehe....I asked her whether I can draw some more...so I continued to draw till it filled almost 90% of the white space. I love to draw. Once I start, is difficult for me to stop. As what you can see on the previous post, 'What I Did when I'm Bored', I actually started on a teddy bear (bought from Jusco). Then, I ended up adding gifts on the right & candy cane on the left. Then, I added shadows to the picture. And then, I added the word 'Merry Christmas' and a flower thingy (don't exactly know what it is called). Tada....there you have it, a Merry Christmas wish with lots of love from me....:P

Cheer Up

This is an image I draw few days ago for my friend, Swee Ling. Just to cheer her up....The image is quite blurry here. This picture was taken using my hp. Guess is not a good one to take picture...It is actually a rough sketch before I actually redraw the lines with Pilot G-1 pen. By the way, is my first try on my new Copic markers so the quality is not that good. Not really get use to it yet.

Material(s) Used: Pencil, paper, Pilot G-1 pen, Copic markers, Sony Ericsson hp

My Feeling's

This is how I felt today. Just like the teddy, I felt there is no one, chance or opportunity. Feeling hopeless yet helpless. Can't do anything but just watch hopelessly...

How I wish, there will be someone who will notice my presence & pick me up from my hopeless form. Give me chance, hope & opportunity. Please take a look in front of you...I'm right here waiting & waiting & waiting for you for so long.......

The 3rd Wacom Holiday Season Contest 2009 cont.

Referring to the previous post on this topic, I'm actually working something on it. I have made some of the things that I wanted to use in the contest. Thought of doing flash. Have drafted out my first idea but due to some reasons, I have changed it into something else. Almost the similar concept but in a shorter version & not to mention cuter as well.

Nothing much I can show in this post, will be posting some of the things that I have prepared for the flash. Got some help on the flash from my friend, JD. ;P

Graphic tablet...here I come. Wanted this so badly... XD

Just added this...

What I Did when I'm Bored

Merry Christmas 2008

Material(s) Used: Pencil, paper, Pilot G-1 pen, Copic markers


This is what I have done when I'm bored....Trying on my new Copic marker with my skills...

It is not just normal boredom but super duper boredom. I really don't know anything about my future. Everythings seems to be extra ordinary blurry from this point of time. My life, my future, my job....I have once wanted to cope with my job but what difference does it makes now. No chance, no opportunity but is more & more towards darkness, confusion & hatred.

What's my future? Should I do something that I like? I'm quite fed up with my job now. I hate coming to work & sitting down here the whole day doing nothing. Feel kinda a big, stupid idiot. I HATE it.

Shopping Frenzy...

Hi..Remember what I have said in the previous post...doing something new.

Yesterday, I went to Art Friend, The Garden to buy my supplies. My supplies are Copic Ciao markers. Actually wanted to buy Copic Sketch marker instead of Copic Ciao. But unfortunately, the price of Copic Sketch were way to expensive for me...

Copic Sketch : RM14.50 per piece
Copic Ciao: RM9.80 per piece

Copic Ciao markers

Still expensive actually..but wanted so badly to have it to get started with my goal...I bought only 12 pieces which cost me around RM 105. Both of this markers are refillable. The range of colors for Copic Ciao is 144 colors whereas Copic Sketch is 301 colors. Planning to update my collection with 5 markers per month...

A4 Graphic Series from JD :P

A cute color pencil case i bought from Jusco...just Rm7.90.:P Now, using it to keep my precious Copic markers....

Cute Pencil Case...:P

Got started on 1 illustration this afternoon...

Those were the Days...

This is a few of my sketches that I did when I was in uni is almost 2 years old by now..hehe. I still loves drawing now but don't really committed to it anymore. This few days, I have been browsing several sites about handmade card. Really inspired by it coz the designs are just so cute & adorable...

Material(s) Used: Pencil, paper

What do you guys think of my drawing? I love my last drawing the most. I found them cute. And I absolutely love those shades in the picture. :P

Will be doing something creative soon...maybe next year. Short term goal...XD You will know by then.

2nd Illustration Coloring

This is my 2nd attempt to color illustration. Like the previous post, I color the background color of the image before proceed to the shadows & tones. This colored-lineart is used for this experiment.

This lineart is licensed under GPL ver.2. The details of the lineart are as below:

Licence: GPL ver. 2
Author: Aoi (a-o-i.deviantart.com)
Project: The Mana World

This is what I got after I color the background of the image.

Tool(s) Used: Adobe Photshop CS3

This is the final result of the process... :P Notice I have added some glow around the girl to make her abit glowing in the darkness of the night.

p/s: Special thanks to Aoi..

Color Process Using Adobe Photoshop CS3

Have been always wanted to be able to color illustration just like anime & manga. Today, I finally got the chance to finished 1 of the illustration. :P happy2 me... This is the reference that I have used.



Before shadows & tone can be apply to a picture, it is always advisable to fill the background color of the picture. From there, you can proceed to the shadows & tones to make the picture more realistic. As what you can see from the image below, shadows & tones contribute alot to the details of the picture. This is what everyone should have for the 1st step. Just a flat color image without much details.

After adding shadows & tones on the image, you will be able to create a more realistic & lively picture. Now, background such as sky or grass can be added. I have add on a gradient blue sky rather than just a flat blue color sky.

Tool(s) Used: Adobe Photoshop CS3

Hope to be able to produce a better quality & complex illustration soon.

p/s: Special thanks to Jennifer Duong for her tutorial...

Illustration using Pen Tool in Adobe Photoshop CS3

I have been wondering how to draw nice illustration using Adobe Photoshop or Adobe Illustrator. I have been searching online tutorial for so many days. God knows how many days...The first tutorial was found in YouTube. However, it doesn't really help. The video showing the tutorial in fast mode. Can't actually followed the steps. The song played in the video was very nice indeed. I posted a comment asking the author how did he able to make such a smooth line in the illustration as weel as the name of the song. Sadly, there is not reply from him. I'm lucky enough to have someone who actually told me the name of the song.... XD



After a few days of hard work, I finally found out how to do a smooth line actually a nice tone line. Not just in a solid black line but a line that have different tone. hehe. I'm so happyyyyy...

Did some experiment on 1 of the linearts that I got from this site(http://mechanical-bunnies.com/tutorials/pstutorial.html).

This is what i have done using the pen tool...

Tool(s) Used: Adobe Photoshop CS3

Nice ah? :) By the way, this tracing back the line of a picture is called lineart. Normally, we will be drawing the line of a scanned picture before we starting to color it.

p/s: Special thanks to Jennifer Duong for her tutorial & image. :P
