Tonight's Drawings

ロリタ (Lolita)

I redrew Lolita digitally. I wanted to keep the roughness and kid-like quality as my original doodle did. One trick on using Wacom pen to draw free hand: if you find the tablet surface is too sleek, put a piece of paper on top of it and draw as usual. In this case, I used a piece of craft paper and it helped me preserve the rough lines.

This is the original doodle on paper:

Quick Doodle

If you want to draw like a 5-year-old, just hold the pencil the way you normally wouldn't and draw really fast...

Duotone Shy Girl

I tried use different medium to transfer the image and went for a more distressed look. The pencil drawing and acrylic dots were added after. I'll later varnish it with gloss varnish which will really bring out the black and the details.

IF: Clutter

Most of the time my head is all cluttered with thoughts / ideas and I can't rest well unless I release them somehow. This is kind of a self-portrait too.

Girls on Wood Panels

I put the girls on wood panels over the week.





And also we went to check out Dick and his booth at the Westport Art Fair. Look what we got. Isn't it awesome?

Artist: Dick Daniels

(All artworks by Dick Daniels)

This is a quick shout out for my buddy Dick Daniels! I've blogged about Dick's artworks before in my old blog... Well, it is this time of the year again. Dick will be showing his awesome awesome artworks at the Westport Art Fair in Kansas City starting this Friday. If you haven't seen his works, I suggest you go check out his website "FunHouse57". Super fun stuff! Talk about putting artworks on woods, he is the master (and I LOVE how he uses found wood so each piece is different)! He also makes really fun ceramic pieces like skulls and bunny+kitty heads! If you are not in the K.C. area, you can still browse his online shop or you can just email him I believe!

This photo is taken from Dick's site... Look how awesome the display is! It's like a candy shop.

And I put this FUNHOUSE sign above my loveseat in the studio.

Profiles Pattern

I had to try this just to see how it will look...

A combination from the profiles doodle and some footage I saw last night on National Geographic's "Taboo" program.
