Liar Liar Pants on Fire

Sakura Tree

Shot this on the 9th August 2010, Singapore's 45th year of independence and also, our National Day. :)

Daily Outfit #001

What I wore to work the day before. The 'top' was actually a pretty jumpsuit, but sadly, it is no longer as such. I cut the bottom off because my humongous hips couldn't fit.

They're 37" and I think old Chinese grandparents-in-law would probably like it because there's this superstition that huge hips = more kids.

Yiruma - River Flows In You

This was the piece I used for my Fashion Design grad show two years back.


It was composed by Yiruma, a south korean pianist + composer.
Please enjoy this piece by him, "River Flows in You".

It's a very special piece to me as it marks the beginning of my relationship with CJ, and that's also why I dedicated this song to him during my grad show. :)

What Do You See? 

Sam K.

Hi guys. It's Tuesday!! One day nearer to the weekends which is when I can do some hardcore illustrations/paintings.

Here's a sketch of my eye-candy, Samantha K.

Those who used to follow me before I revamped this site might have seen this before. I did this piece in 2009 during the days when I was still working for Wacom Singapore.

I vividly remember this piece because this really cool guy came up to me when I was about to give up on the crimped hair texture and told me to push on. It was totally random yet so cool of him to do so.

Therefore, THANK YOU mystery dude. 

I Still Don't Know Who You Are But... Still, Thanks. :)

Updates + Wacom Contest

Okay. I am going to have to put aside my Bong QQ project as I have to focus on 2 projects. I can't reveal the first one, but the second one is Wacom's 4th Anime/Manga Contest!

Please join in the fun if you love to draw! The theme this time round is to create your "Original Monster". (:

P.S.

The worst part is... both the projects have the same dateline more or less.

The Grand Prize From The Wacom Contest Is An Intuous 4 (Large) - $799.

Did up a quick sketch last night. 

Am doing a piece for Qiu Ting and I'm trying to squeeze in as much practice as I can before I start on her. I'm trying to find my own style in the process and seeking to improve my skills as an illustrator.

I have always been rather conservative with my choice of colours, preferring to stick with neutral tones, but I realise that my images doesn't 'pop-out' as much. It's usually flat and I also want to take this chance to be bolder, because my subject (BQQ) has a dynamic personality and I want to portray that side of her.

First Try At Using Blue Tones In Skin.

Wow. It's been so long since I've last updated. June? Seriously? Anyway, I am really inspired by this illustrator + digital painter, Viet-My Bui. I especially like this piece with the bold psychedelic colours.
 

Go check her out at her tumblr page HERE! 

I've started a new sketchbook, and it's high time I do some research on that anatomy and lighting. 

Do You Know Blue Works Great On Skin Tones?

Streaked

This was done as a favour to my eye-candy back when we were still in school. 

 

It felt liberating drawing her hair. Very loose and relaxed approach for this piece.

I was just telling her that my hard disk is like a treasure-box. I found many of my illustrations hidden under multiple layers of folders.  

What's amazing is that I could even find some process shots for this. I'M GOOD! HAHA!

The amount I have to back up would probably take me weeks. And that's why I'm not doing it (yet). :p

Transmo

I realise I haven't posted anything on my graduation project due to procrastination and partly I thought I lost all of my works in my old hard disk.

Well, I found it (yay), and I really really loved all the sketches. Its just what I am. I can't say the same for the Final Boards though. I tried too hard to make it neat and... let's just say, it's not up to my expectations.

Please do not be alarmed...

The Pancake Cat still belongs to kifa, but I am in the process of revamping this space. 

Please hold tight and watch this (currently) empty space for eye candies.
