Spending the last of tonight doodling and staring at cactuses trying to find the right colours so it doesn't look like I'm painting………………..sea cucumbers? π
I've always preferred digital illustration to physical ones. I think I'm one of the rare ones that prefers doing with technology π
I'm perfectly ok with ebooks, and back in uni always purchased ebooks instead of physical ones if they were available. βοΈ
I like the control I have over paintings/illustrations done digitally and I like how it's never a mess π I tried watercolour for quite awhile but never got over the fact that my palette was ALWAYS messy from blending and that I always had to be at a desk to start drawing.
Currently I'm lying belly down on my bed, in my PJs and doodling on my laptop with my Wacom. π The simple luxuries technology gifts to us.
Almost done!
I haven't done this in sooooo long. I think my last project was @undermyvan's birthday gift which was a embroidered patch I got custom made for her. π
And my solemnization invites where I drew Daniel and my wedding looks before it even happend π really just go in blind and whack.
#chowdoesart #kidding #notart #justanyhow
Ok I got lazy and decided to just draw a phantom pot πππππππ
Also, the fading is super weird for the pot but I'm too tired to edit it π
I also think my Wacom is failing on me ππ These things are so expensive I feel like I lose a small limb when I repurchase. So far I've been buying secondhand sets cos they are wayyyy cheaper.
Also can't #taobao these things cos quality matters π
The patch I custom made for Van's birthday! HAHA omg also features cactuses. I think I really like those prickly things. π
I started out doing portrait illustrations cos I wanted to do something special for my friend's birthdays. It was always cards then it became stickers and patches βοΈ
Quite fun la! I'm always pleasantly surprised when the portrait looks like the real person!
Hehe I also illustrated my lunch menu during the solemnization. It was fun!
I miss having the time to do such things. It was SUPER therapeutic π I guess I know what I'll be doing next time when I retire βοΈ
HAHAHAHA and our invites. Now looking back…I feel like I could have done better ππππππππ #dayrebrides
But ok la. Not bad already (consoling myself) considering how I didn't know exactly what we were going to look like in our bridal outfits πβοΈ
When I said my mum raised me as a Chinese princess, I'm not kidding HAHA. All the art classes, music classes, laid foundation quite well so till today I find it easier to pick up artsy stuff like drawing and playing musical instruments.
I self learnt the guitar and used to do a bunch of covers on YouTube that I am now too embarrassed to share and I hope they never see the light of day ππ Husband Ng used to purposely dig those out and play it on the huge TV to humiliate me π₯π₯π₯
Thanks for the encouraging comments guys π Hehe so many good ideas floating in the comments section!
Definitely going to be working on patches @charlottewangwang I AM A PATCH LOVER I have a whole bag of them just lying around π
And now I really wanna join @tofulove's #100daywatercolour except that I don't watercolour so I am effectively a cheated ππππ
Talking about artsy stuff, we had a half ass attempt at taking nicer photos for the new launch this weekend π
We were laughing like MAD cos I suck at doing this π But don't worry k, better and more professional photos are coming your way. π
Just sharing some of the shots I thought turned out pretty well!
I think this is our first satin bralette ever? The cups on this thing is huge. I took M size and it's still slightly big on me π
I have this thing about satin that makes me super hesitant when getting them. If they are the cheap kind I feel very…annoyed ππ
Anyway! If you guys are free this Sunday, come down to the Books & Stuff flea initiated by @jojobeans to chit chat with me! π
I'll be bringing all the older designs down to the flea (think the Standard Halter Lace, Not-so-standard midi and some handmade design) down to sell so please come!
There will also be some cards and stickers I'll be selling πππ so if you're free do come say hi k!!
Oh no, not sure what I'm allergic to (probably dust) but my eyes are swollen and puffy tonight π excuses to sleep early!!!
