on the scene sketch on page 19... (what a rough sketch)
more pages to go... run run run~~~ Turbo speed!!!

sketch for page 10(?) for a book project...
I was planning to simplify the drawing a bit; but whenever comes to sketch time, lots of stuff just kept popping into my head... add this, add that... and then instead of a quarter page spot, it became a two third almost full page...Orz...

Got to speeeeed up... deadline coming up... ahhh...

2 little sketches for a short story...
Drawing part is not as hard. It's the colouring part that sometimes will take extremely long~~~
I guess 2 paintings a day is my max now.
A short book of 30 pages normally will take at least a month to finish in order to keep the painting quality good... most of the time, it will take even longer...

The colouring part took the longest time...
It's hard to decide what colour to put down... @@ Another practice piece... still trying to figure out how to colour from dark to light and not to mass it up... LOL

trying out some brushes and colouring practice.
I was so frustrated with my drawing styles lately... (too many styles become no style)
Almost forgot the fun of drawing ~^^~
Thanks to Will Terry he got lots of inspiring videos on his youtube channel and blog~
One day a drawing, starting from beginning
Hope you all enjoy what you are doing
Cheers!

This one is a fantasy character - white fox lady.

It's more like an oriental comic/fantasy style of illustration. Watercolour and ink on watercolour paper. size: 4.5" x 6" created in 2012

http://www.etsy.com/listing/91459660/original-hamster-illustration-my-pet?ref=pr_shop

This is a portrait of my lovely hamster pet - Hamham ^o^

It's created in 2012 too. Watercolour pencils and ink on watercolour paper.

Size: 4.5"x6"

Done colouring...

Finally, I'm done with colouring...  Still cannot decide what colour background to put on, so I'd just leave it white... Maybe I can make it into a note card or post card something later =) It's available at ETSY. http://www.etsy.com/listing/86585687/original-watercolor-fantasy-painting

Fairy with Ocarina ready to colour

Just made the scatch of the new painting - Fairy with Ocarina...
Ready to colour... still desiding on what colour to paint on...
I was trying to either draw it with the flute but end up with the ocarina...
it's a nice little instrument that is very fairy tale looking =)

 

Back to Pastel / Charcoal drawing

I was too busy at my day work recently and almost forgot how to draw...
Really need to pick up my art stuffs and motivate my art FU...
Beside my desk, I have piles of pastel papers that I got from my art class couple months ago... Still sitting there, collecting dust. I used to paint or draw almost every other day and list on ebay. But since my full time job gets in the way, the art creating got delayed and delayed... But the creative ideas are still blooming in my head but no time to squeeze them out on papers and canvas... quite headachey...

Yesterday afternoon, I finally took out my brown pastel papers, and drew my favorite LOTR characters...
Sam and Frodo... need more improvement on shading... lol

New web look for Patricia Studio, New service for Custom Logo Design

Recently I've tried to "revovate" my website; and change the Zen-carts store back to just the plain HTML... For the rest of the products, I'll just post them on ETSY and Zazzle for now. Since both of them are pretty good, plus Cost effecient... for a person like me that most of the time is working and taking care of family, posting new artwork or craft products may not be as fast as before when I still host my ebay store because it really take time to manage on-line with constant updates with new items to keep it alive. However, my love for painting and craft is still the same, and when I'm ready to retire in 20 years, I'll be the road show artist for sure!!!! LOL
*for now, I still need my steady pay cheque to pay my mortgage...*

In my new site, I have the new service for Custom Logo and stationary package available!
Pricing is under this link:
