Digital paint


Hello all! It's been a while! This was the picture I was supposed to finish by the end of Chinese New Year but, friends and holidays distracted me, hence, I just finished it today.

My first finished (sorta) painting done with my laptop, Bamboo tablet, mouse, and Corel Paintshop Pro X. It's a bit rough at the clothes and the hair and background part because I got lazy :( But I'll do better next time. heh.

Was inspired to draw this by Michelle Phan. I looked through her pictures in her Facebook fan page and saw her digital paintings. I was like, OMG she's so good at that, looks so realistic! So, I knew I had to try it! And it's surprisingly easier to paint faces on the computer than on paper because well, you can use editing tools, color, lighting, lightening, darkening, smudging effects to edit pictures to near perfection. But control wise, I think using a pencil is definitely easier. Maybe I should combine them.. draw with pencil, paint with computer.. hmm.. :D

Recognize the face? Haha, used her face as well. Though it doesn't look like her, she was a good model to use. Awesome makeup and perfect smile. Yeap, I'm a big fan.

Classes have started so, going to bed now. Till  next time I'm free enough, I'll do another :D Wait for it!

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!!!


Doing a CNY kinda portrait drawing but not totally done with it yet. Anyway, may everyone have a healthy and prosperous new year! May the rabbit be gentle on us :D


My first week of CNY nails.


Nah, a pic of me and my not so new dress and curls again! But not very used to curls nemore. Feel a bit too mature with them. But they still go better with dresses. My bangs are overgrown, but thank goodness to this video, I learned to style them! :D


Till I update the drawing, Happy CNY again! :D

Mini big heads

Been browsing through Facebook and my friends, and stumbled back on one of my dad's friend's page where he posted his art work. Mostly caricatures of his friends. He drew my dad and it looked so amusing! Hence, I was inspired to try it! But I don't know anything bout such type of drawings. So, I Google-ed it, as I would always do with anything I don't know about. Haha. Wiki said caricatures were something about exaggerated drawings of particular features that would make the picture recognizable or something like that.
So, attempted on someone whom I know would not get mad at me for using his face :p


This is after I edited it. I somehow think the first version (which I uploaded in Facebook) looks more like him. His reaction was simple, "LOL"s and "omg"s. Which made me literally laugh out loud alone in my room, in front of my laptop at 4am. >_<.


2nd attempt of one of my favorite girl friends! Haha! A cute and sweet girl. Whose most-often-said line is, "My hair grew longer!!!... right?" LOL.

Will try more daring ones in the future. For now, Chinese New Year preparations!!! I've loads of cleaning to do for my room which might take a few days. And the collected dust is unbearable! Need to use face mask while cleaning. Lol. Oh darn, not done with New Year shopping, actually, barely started. :S

Have fun preparing! See ya'll soon.

:s

I wouldn't said I worried for nothing. It was something. I couldn't sleep. Woke up after every 3 hours. When the time came. I couldn't bare to check. But it had to be done anyway. The pressure, the stress all pressed into my mind, spinning it violently. My heart beat increased, without knowing whether it could handle what would come after, as I waited for the page to load on my iPhone (yeah, was still lying in bed).

Poof! The relief that swept over me! All I wanted to do was to Thank God!

Now, I can sleep in peace.





Yeah, passed the papers. :D
