Illustration work

1st











2nd





This is my first time to draw fully illustration for serious. It was given like 2 months. I was warming up with a few pieces of compositing, angle, perspective to get the right mood before decide for painting.

It's stress since i don't have a proper professional working flow. Anyway, daily speed painting kinda solved my worries when painting small area.


3rd

4th was eventually done more based on description and wanted elements.



Here is the compostion which can tell the city story much obviously.



Anyway, still painting for this piece.
It's been a week since the right one had been chosen to paint.Got to get it done by this few days!

Get Serious...

May 2011













Robot pieces

This moment i tried to get rid of incident drawing and experimental too much in getting the art feel inside.

It's exhausting to keep painting and get the feel. Time wasting is a killer.













Environment is still in learning. One of the area that i concern about.
Painting with feeling is bad... sometimes.
Good failure sample is here.


This Knight was done with a relaxing mindset. Couldn't remember the exactly i spent into this. Probably not over 2 hours.

I was thinking Terms when painting this. Majestic, Mystery, King, Powerful, Coolness, Wild....

Term is useful when want to have a direction of asthetic happend in the painting.

It's kind of a journey but i feel that keep painting is not the only way to create better pictures.

That's the moment i realized compositing is the key to make a good looking picture. And i spent more study and analysis in compositing theory for my painting.

Sometimes drawing Artsy makes me feel the joyful inside not like pursuing a high skill in painting instead of sharing my soul in the art peacefully. The Right one is a Gal holding another
gal flying to somewhere else. *Unfinished*..










Two pieces of enviroment painting.
James Paick and Paperblue are my learning stage.

Well, Not even close!!..haha..

Environment took my years to get into a better image. It's not easy. Nothing comes easy. No one say that..

Quit thinking is hard and painting for real. Mentality is so confusing when painting doesn't turn out good.

Success comes from failures.

First piece was another improved version from the bottom piece in 2nd day. The Right piece was done in an hour. 2nd day is to see what can i improve from what i had done for the first time. Less than an hour.



Sometimes it's a challenge in mentality to see how far an art can involved. Gotta chew on the word, nothing done in first few strokes or sketches. The longer devotion can get more surprises in the later.

Tonal Painting and Light painting..
Will do more experiment and practicing on this area.



This sketch done to find out a comfortability method to draw my very first comic after so many years. Reading comic is easier. To create gonna squeeze me alot of knowledge and effort to get it done. Anyway, it's a feel cool journey. It's gonna built a pavement for my future project too.
Busy brainchild... Busy.... and discipline seems fading easily.


I found out myself getting inspiration easier when i lie on my bed to sleep. So, some story plots had been draft out between 3am until 6 something in the morning. Silence keeps my brain imagine sweet material that i will keep polishing on.

Eventually, drafted out two stories before fell into deep sleep.

Some stories and experienced i studied from great persons during this few days.
Welcome the failures into our life to learn for a success.
Every success comes from failures.
Make friends with failures.
Lately came across this philosophy from two inspired artist that i know of.
Marc Forster the Director from Finding Neverland is one who like to challenge different movie style. He treats failure as a positive gear to push him into a higher ground to create his movie.
Sometimes don't plan for everything and leave 20% for it happend naturally.
World is always an unpredictable cynical place to live in.

He personally love "Stay" movie somehow it get a weak blockbuster. Sometimes the more we invest into one thing and fully dedication to wish it will get the healthy respond it should be will cause our ego take over in learning the failures chances.

Another artist is Steve Jobs. Read his Famous Stamford speech from Sinchew paper again this week. He was resigned from his CEO in Apple Company. A Man Who pursuit Perfection in his dream without obstacles.

Stay hungry Stay Foolish. Anything we learn today & yesterday, will be connected like dots in creating our dream. Nothing will be wasteful as we keep forwarding to the path that we believe in.

Two different mentality in getting their job's done. Whatever it is. Both success born from failures and keep trying.

Lastly, Inspiration flashing when we are working on it. Don't wait for inspiration to make us working.
