I've decided to share about my progress so far in the creative field. *ooh cat* Just to keep track of myself. LOL.
I hadn't taken any painting or drawing classes since I was a toddler not even in high school except for the SENI subject which is compulsory which I've only learned how to say colours and painting techniques in Bahasa Melayu, so I have a blank canvas on arts, so I believe this is why I can pick up easier of what my lecturers have been teaching me in The One Academy Penang since I don't have a
and concept of how art should be executed in my brain so I just absorb what they are teaching me and apply it cause that's the only way I know.
Some covers I've designed for the school mag. So basically just to make it easy, it's
Very simple trust me. It's just basic stuff like lines, patterns, fonts, brushes done in photoshop. I hated traditional mediums, hate as in I try to avoid using watercolour in seni exams or anything at all that needs me to draw on paper cause I am really bad at it since I don't know how to use it. The only thing I draw is ELMO hahaha.
Design Works in College
More recent ones I have worked on. These were done after a long time absence in designing in photoshop because The One Academy foundation year sorta focuses more on basic foundation drawing skills so only a few subject has designing on it. So I sorta forgot how to do the styles I've tried in high school and went for a more vector art style which I quite fancy. and I think vector art is sho cute!
Digital Painting
These are also more recent ones. I actually prefer traditional mediums that digital now. I dont know why but my view and thought might change after some time but currently yea, I'm not that familiar with digital still.
Cartoon character design
Some extra stuff to share. These are the only traditional pencil drawings I scanned, the rest I'm too lazy to scan and take photos and some are not even with me now. So yea maybe next time!
Okay since I major in Illustration I wanna share a bit more detail on painting itself, and now I've learned til acrylic so far so yeah. Just to show ya'll some progress.
My first portrait painting. LMAO. Look how bad is it. XD!!! Sorry Pavarotti!
1st object painting, which I think is way better than the Pavarotti one. That Pavarotti macam hantu.
2nd portrait painting. You can see folded lines and scraped off bits because I was so frustrated with myself I wanted to just chuck it away. By that time I should have known how to paint human skin but I still failed at it. *The shirt part looks awesome right? That's because Mr Leong the Principal painted it! Awesome awesome awesome took him like 10 mins*
Final project. We had to find different references and make a composition out of it. So I chose Harry Potter since they have a lot of high resolution photos of the characters!!! :D *Click to enlarge for details*

Gotta brush up some skills and art sense!

Close ups~
So yea that's all I wanna share for now! I hope I can do better next time! I'm still practicing and it takes time to improve. I still can't believe I came
this far!! I definitely see myself improving after I have put my feet down and decided to work a little harder. :) So yea, everyone's that's stuck or struggling, believe me, once you have pass that stage, things will get easier, but obviously, harder obstacles will come along, just overcome it and you'll excel!!
Sooo.. Blessed Chinese New Years everyone! I'm having a week's holiday next week :) That's why I can blog now. HAHA! ANG PAO come come! :D
Oh yeah, One more thing...
I've been nominated for TOP10 Awards in my college! I was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO VERYYYYYYYYYYY Extremelyyyyyyy excited and happy and excited and HONORED! All sorts of happy thoughts floating in my head when I received the news! Cause it's like, all the hardwork and been paid off! The lecturers actually like what they see T___T I mean, the things I draw lah. :D THANKS AWESOME LECTURERS Woooohooooo.
BTW, I totally edited this photo. My face looks like a fat mama chipmunk in the ori one. Gosh, why can't the fats go down to my BOOBS. hahaha! I'm kidding :) I just don't see myself that chubby in real life (RIGHT???? hahaha. I was hoping for a right...) but apparently studio lighting always take fat photos of my face. :(
God bless!!
