sketches
attended another course today at the same place as last week... it was as boring as the one before.. hehe... contents wise, i'd swear they were the same if not for the lecture notes ;p (since all in jap, we wouldn't know the difference anyway)... hehe.... (last week was on design compiler, and this week on primetime)...
i nodded off for a while during the morning session... and in order to keep myself awake in the afternoon, i diverted my attention to somewhere so that i can stay somber....
hence, sketching.
hadn't done much sketching ever since secondary school i think... so dun expect the standard to be any high.... hehe... in fact, forgive me for the poor standard.... some of you guys out there must be laughing your asses off after you see the below...;p
anyways, i asked chee keong for a photo, any photo... and he lent me one with his then-girlfren, now-wife, taken when they were in jc1 (that was 9 years ago!!)
the end result was horrid.
the supposedly portrait (or caricature may be a better word here ;p) of jenine and chee keong...
yeah, after i completed the sketch, i gave it to chee keong... chee keong initially asked me to keep it, but i insisted on giving him anyway... haha.. now i can see why he didn't want to have it! it looks cartoony and bears no resemblance at all!! total joke! flunked... sigh...
i must add that i couldn't do better due to some factors as well. one, was in an adverse condition.. hehe... in lecture, scared other ppl see, so do hastily lor... two, lack of time.... you can see that i didn't really bother to do proper shading and all... if i were to do... no time to finish lah... (excuses ;p)
okok... i am just bad at it.
when i got back to dorm, after dinner, i had some time on my hands... so i tried sketching again, this time on another subject. i chose a person that most, if not all, of us who are in japan knows. hence all can be a good judge - if they recognise who i was sketching, it would be a minor success liao ;)
again... hold your breath, and be ready for some laugh...
who is she? (pls click on pic to view)
sorry for the excessive blue filter, due to my camera... could have rectified this using photoshop, but decided against that since i dun wanna be accused of using photoshop in any way ;p
anyway, i found that when sketching a person, 2 things very hard... 1 is of course the eye... very hard to catch the feel of the eye... if can draw eye very well, i think the portrait is half done... 2 is the mouth... yup and that includes the teeth as well... at first i always ended up with da4 zhui3 ba1 (one who has a big mouth) but after sometime, manage to come out with this... that being said... notice the teeth is empty/ black ugly shades... hehe.. cos seriously i dunno how to incorporate teeth into a sketch... looks too weird when i do...
anyway i changed the position of the right eye (ie. the one on the left) after i completed my first draft... hence the difference in shades and clarity between the 2 eyes... aiyah.... edit here edit there, still looks about like this... so i dun change liao lah...
anyone with any comments or any tips? anyone with any guess as to who the person is?
to all her fans and frens, sorry i did her injustice ;p
