Painting and A moment of thought.

In my last semester, I was pondering if i should take either Oil painting or Watercolor painting in the midst of my FYP. Both are heavy in workload, and expensive in materials. But definitely, the experience behind them gained will give me a new outlook on what I can do as an individual. 

But, due to my SUPER curiosity to Oil Painting and knowing I might not have the chance to literally touch Oil paintings in years to come (especially if i'll be working for a while to clear my school debts), I took that module up and went through it with a curious heart. We did 9 paintings, 3 portraits, 3 still life and 3 abstracts and thankfully they are in class done. TT I had difficulties just understanding color and mixing them, but glad I managed to learn some color techniques traditionally and the beauty of colors. Thanks Joan Kelly for teaching us about oil painting within the semester!

At least i had better views of abstract art after the entire module

As a person doing oil painting for the first time, I learn a lot about myself. I reconfirmed that I am rather Impulsive and Hectic, which is also what Hans Bacher and Hannes pointed out in the way i do my drawings, and to just Pause, Slow and Organize your heart, and Analyse what and why I am doing these works. 

And mainly not draw or create for the sake of creating, but to create Life *laugh* Indeed, these advice by my teachers are now constant reminders in my heart every time i pick up a brush/wacom/pen. Slowly, i am beginning to see myself doing better works/sketches, looking at works at a different eye and appreciating works that i never thought i can appreciate, Yes Modern Art you *laugh* 

Being exposed to various illustrators and works through lectures by Hans Bacher and Kelly too made me excited about the various possibilities of styles and art form but that is only the surface. Still, after everything is over, i hope to sink down into these worlds and learn from them more one day. *note to self* 

This new update is turning to a journal approach *laugh* Will post more on works than or words in the updates to come. So much so that an image says a thousand words that i wish to convey ;) 

Have a good remaining April!

Ticking to the End

Just 2 more months. 

2 more months to end my Final Year Project and graduate. *wave hands in air*
Time surely has flies... so much so that it is rather disconcerting. 
I will be posting some of the things i have done during my course here :) 
And let this blog will serve as a reminder and a keepsake of this period of my life and the things i have done. Plus, as a stepping stone to grow as a better artist. 

Also, being in Han Bacher's Illustration for designers, I want to improve in compositions and understanding colors better. I will post some of the exercises I did in the midst of all the chaos I'm experiencing here. No matter how little or how rough it is. 

And now, to posting!~

Day to Night

Did a collection of reference of the variety of colors that our 

one sky can give us of Day to Night.

Makes me open my eyes to the wonders of Nature that 

has been in this world since the beginning of its creation. 

Any one who wishes to know of the colors of sky, here is one reference you can use. :)

 

YOU ROCK EARTH!

July: Hands on!

'My dear, get out there, and BUY the REAL thing.'

CREAM PUFF!!!

YES IT IS A CREAM PUFF!!! A 40 cent paper version of it *laugh*

I bought a $2 paper origami food set from Daiso. This is the Cream Puff from the set that i followed their instructions on. The Cream I added on later using white paper XD.
After doing it, I want to eat it. *stare at the puff and sighed* Perhaps i should try buying one real cream puff and enjoy it *laugh*

Doing these kinds of crafts once in a while from all the drawings is a good distraction... Yeah. I had fun. :)
I should do more of these kinds and see where it will go.

The end of June

'... June is ending.'

Time flies fast. 

We will not notice on how fast or slow time goes if clocks or watches or even sun dials are invented.
One thing amazing is how curious and imaginative humans goes if you look back to ancient times.
Now, we take note and Time becomes our bondage.

Is Time good or negative? 

Because of Time, we can appreciate and treasure our 'short' life a little more? 

Because of Time, we can prioritize what is important to us to do or what is not so?  

Because of Time, we see the things around us differently now than compared to the prehistoric age?

We take notice of our age, our mortality, our gain of knowledge, our position in life, our differences with one another, our fears etc and keep them close in our heart.

In the end, i wonder, as an individual, this constant question continuously comes to my mind as I look out from the window.

 

'Each day, have I done enough?

And what could i have done more.'

Just don't think so much, You. *laugh*

But somehow, the gnawing feeling in your heart just grows. 

'Do you feel the same?'

The Start of A Beginning.

Honestly, this blog is created to push myself, to practice, to do original works and to see what i can do. I have always been half-assing on many things in my years and I'm Sick and Tired of being a half-ass, unchanging and stuck in the midst of this flow called Life.

But, I want to find the world that I can create, a world where anything can happen and the possibilities I can create with a pencil and paper.

It's never too late to start now I realized. As long as you have the heart and determination to change, no matter what age you are. This is a celebration, to a new start and also of my birthday which is tomorrow.

Happy Birthday 'Find the world', and may you prosper in content and also in finding and exploring your world :)
