Portrait

Here come my weekly drawings! Really appreciate your support if you have been following my blog updates.

I wanted to make a drawing of my new toy collection "Jenny Doll", but Japanese manga style is really not my thing, so I gave it up.

David was right, if you made it human size, it would look just like a blow-up doll.

So, I decided to make a drawing of Blythe Doll.

Honestly, it didn't look as good as I expected. I don't think it's easier to do a portrait of something inanimate like a doll, all about the expression in the eyes.

In a few hours, I decided to make another drawing because the previous one was not so good. The above are my art inspiration.

Found this attractive girl on a 60s American AD. Quickly made a drawing and it turned out to be pretty good. And this is what I am talking about, the expression in the eyes.

I posted both drawing on Instagram and hashtagged "drawing", "artwork" and "illustration", and it actually brought the attention of the users who had same interest, most of them were art students and freelance illustrators. :)

If you like my artworks or pictures pls follow me on Instagram, my user name is "pinkynicky".

I gotta go back to work now. Happy Wednesday!

When you are so burnt out at work...

What do you do when you are so burn out at work?

When I woke up in a morning... That was hilarious and actually made my day. lol

Sick of diet lunch? Make fun of it! I took a picture of the apple for my lunch, quickly edited it and tagged my colleague in HK who was a big fan of Annoying Orange.

Some people are just too boring to spend a little time to decorate their office desk. Well, maybe they are just too "busy". (rolling my eyes)

Who doesn't like Twinings tea!? A tour guide kindly brought those tea bags from UK, it was so nice of her. I always wish someday we could have a decent pantry room where we could have nice tea and coffee, just like what those people do in the TV series.

Yay! It's autumn

I am happy it's getting cooler, now I can get up early and have a good breakfast on the weekend.

I did not get early enough, so it became my brunch. The Agnes b. Cafe near my place was really cozy, especially in the morning. No annoying kids! 

Just me, myself and flip flops. Sometimes we do need a break from work, family and friends.  

Look what I got at Accessorize! I only paid $25 for those cute stuffs. :) 

This is a real drawing!

Here comes my weekly drawing! Yes, I've started drawing again with pencils and papers. :P

Found an art store near my home, well, 5 mins by MRT.

Got graphite pencils, water-soluble color pencils, a sketch book and a rubber eraser. The owner helped me a little because I had not shopped in an art store for ages.

I made a quick sketch the night I got my art supplies. The idea actually came from the movie "The Hunger Games", but in the movie they used little parachutes to deliver medical cream and soup. So I was thinking, it would be awesome to have someone delivered a sweet to you when you were in a bad mood.

Finally got it colored on Saturday, I spent more than 2 hours to get it done. This was a lot harder than digital painting. Phew~ Doesn't look too bad huh? ;)

And here comes the picture of my boy and I. I told him I really liked the fact we both liked drawing, even if we were in different styles. I need to make him draw more and post them up here.

A good breakfast will make your day!

Ever since I started to a starch-free diet, I rarely ate much rice, noodles or bread. Breakfast somehow has become the most pleasant meal of a day.

So, I made this drawing.

I was too lazy to draw a German sausage, so I drew those Japanese-style pan-fried hot dogs instead, whch are shaped like octopuses with a knife.

What's your favorite? Western-style or Asian-style?

No starch after lunch? Are you kidding me?

Well, I have been keeping to a starch-free diet for a couple of days. Now I just miss the real food...

Look at what I had for lunch. 

I am allowed to have a "big meal" once every week, but, only for lunch. 

I planned to have lunch at Jake's Country Kitchen or the food court of Mitsukoshi, but it seemed like my friend Ffion had been receiving too much stress from work and definitely needed a really good meal, so, we went to Chili's. 

I tried not to eat to much, so I left 2/3 of the food to her. :P 

This is one of our favorite dishes, can you believe we had this three times in a row? 

I wish I could have more of these! The Calamares Fritos(fried squid rings) were so yummy!!

I am back, with a new hairstyle.

Regarding the long blog silence, well,  I had been busy and lazy. Good thing is, everything is getting better, and my life is almost back to normal. 

So, I decided to have a haircut on the first day of Sept.

Before. 

After. 

I wanted to have an emo hairstyle, but my hair was too short and needed to be colored. Even so, I was still pleased with the outcome; I told the hair dresser she made me like Joan Jett, and she started laughing. 

I guess this is what the cute emo girls like to do with their hair - a bow hair clip. I gotta have my hair highlighted in pink when it gets cold, David will love it. ;)
