I am back!

Wooooohoooo!! I know I know it's been a while. I almost forgot I had a blog to be kept updated *my bad* My story is that.. I got married!!! On my last post I put up my invitations for some friends whose invitation messed up by the delivery service I hired. Then I went for honeymoon, and a week after that I got a three month full-time contract. Some days I got pretty pretty busy, and some day I got.. nothing to do :) I still have a month to go, but until then, here's something I did on my spare time; some studies I might say since I kind of copied them from the book.

Above is from Marcel Marlier's Martine series, I am so nothing like him. As you can see some problems showing, i.e. proportion, and also the feeling of being grounded strongly (if you know what I mean, or this is just my feeling). I put up the picture I was following, too, for comparison.

Below is a part from Disney's fairy adventure book. I changed their fairy costume, so they'd look like teenagers instead.

Praise the Lord

Here's your ticket!! I gotta gotta learn how to differentiate drawing styles for different age range. Example here, I'm not sure if it suitable for kids age 6-12. 12 is near to teenage, huh? or is the range too far that it confused me - but honestly, I gotta have extra awareness on that issue. Anyways.. this is for my friend's sunday school kids choir concert (I did their christmas invitation last year, too). I'm looking forward to see it!! They have Amani Utupe, and some other cool songs!!

I love making colorful posters - the thing is that I have to make it work. Think of what's the main focus again, and trying not to make people puzzled instead, below is my first attempt. I feel like the colors on the children at the back (on top of the hill, i mean) is distracting us from seeing the poster title where I want the main focus be..*awh.. internet colors degrading the saturation :(*

This is after I edit the color on the kids at the back :)

They Turn Out to be ... Cute

Horror, dark fairies was the idea of the project. He told me no to go with the cute stuff on these three fairies *they look like dolls to me - since he didn't want any wings. I've tried and tried, but somehow they all turned out to have that cute feeling to it. A clean character filled with light *well.. at least that's how I see them. Thank goodness he liked the rendering. I haven't heard any complaints; I haven't heard from him again, to be exact. ~ i'll bug him.

Sketchbooking Again

I bought a new book and start discipline myself (again) to draw - to learn to see again :) *like Hawthorne said. Well, here's one of my self portrait. I bragged to my friends I can make a look-a-like, but never done one for them ; and now I did but didn't turn out a look-a-like one, haha.. I hope they won't find out ^_^'
