Basic Hand Tutorial

I just did it since I saw folks on the Net said that hands are way too hard to draw. I don't know, I don't think I've ever struggled with drawing hands. Hand is like my favorite thing to draw. I enjoy looking at my own hand and drawing it making different poses and shapes. Hands, and those opposable thumbs, are just so beautiful to me~~~

Doodles~~~

Just a couple doodles I did for fun~~~

Animal Boyfriend

It's an app game that you can dress up and level up your pet by making them study or work. Your pet (or in the game, it is a "student" while you are the "teacher") can be a cat, a dog, a fox, a rabbit, or a wolf in a man's form, whatever you like. I kinda got addicted to it since I do enjoy the art there. Here are a few doodles I did of my "pet" (Hyunkel) with other folks' "pets":

Shadow Princess in battle outfit, she might appear in one of my stories. 

I had a lot of fun doodling her, especially her hair~

2nd World Cup drawing

My apology, I totally forgot to post on this blog for a couple days~ I drew this drawing right before the semi-final match between Brazil and Germany. I wonder if my drawing was somewhat the prediction of the match. I have been a loyal supporter of Brazil, that match totally broke my heart. It was not because they lost, it was because they lost in embarrassment. Ah well~~~

I haven't used color pencils in a long time. That was pretty fun~ Girls vs Boys in a soccer match. And Lum Invader is cheering in the background~

World Cup 2014!!!

Finally the full drawing of soccer girls in action to celebrate the World Cup 2014!

Remember my drawing back in January 2013, when I just could not wait for the World Cup? I think I have improved! Yay!

This drawing is also a fun entry for the contest held by the anime community app called PaigeeWorld.
The requirements of the contest include drawing at least one of the PaigeeWorld original characters so the two girls with blue and purple hair are their characters, while the one with the brown pigtails on the left side of the drawing is me. This was also a great practice of digital coloring and shading for me since I know I am not good at digital coloring yet. But I got to learn a lot from doing several researches in order to complete this piece.

I had a great time working on this piece and I am very satisfied and happy with it. I hope you guys will like it as much as I enjoyed drawing it!

Here are the line work and WIPs:

 Line Art

 WIPs

 I was experimenting with the different shading styles: flat cartoon vs. 3D realistic. I went with the flat one.

And here is a BONUS:

 I wanted to see how my drawing would look like as a manga and this was the result. Pretty cool and fun eh? I really want to create a female futbol/soccer/football manga. (App used: Instamag)

And here is the drawing of a soccer girl I did back in January 2013:

It's not bad but I was not entirely happy with it either. I'm so glad that in the new one, I drew the girls in regular official World Cup jerseys, not leotards~ xD

Cheers for The WORLD CUP 2014!!! 

Who are you rooting for?

Storyboards for Galactic Sandbox and Apple On Top Commercial

I did these about a year ago but totally forgot to share! These were for an ex-friend, who promised me a payment and never did so~~~ (hence, the title ex-friend). Anyway, at least these gave me more experience in storyboarding and quick story sketches. I'm quite happy with the results~

 

Complete storyboard for Galactic Sandbox

 First pass and our most favorite panels

 Complete storyboard for Apple On Top Commercial (Apple On Top is a Hookah bowl)

And below is the link to the the full commercial for the Galactic Sandbox. He only wanted me to do boards for a few scenes that need VFX of outer-space and the age transition of the main character in the video.

Galactic Sandbox Full Cut (click)

It seems like the commercial for Apple On Top was never made due to low budget. Well, too bad.

A couple random sketches~

Just for the fun of it :D

A sketch of a soccer (football/futbol) girl~

A quick chibi sketch since it seems like a lot of people like doing it so I figured I'd just follow the trend with this little doodle~

DAILIES (Yes I do dailies!)

I started doing dailies 2 weeks ago and I have made this a regular thing for me. I have so much fun doing quick sketches drawing whatever I want or feel like. Of course I try my best to make it varied, not just a bunch of drawings of sexy girls (I'm sure folks, especially male, would appreciate that but nuh~ :P) or just human beings. These dailies are supposed to improve my skill and develop my style to a new level. I am excited!

Tada!!!

Daily #1: Office Lady

Daily #2: I felt like eating ramen so this was the result...

Daily #3: Fan-Art of Kurogane Yaiba, the hero and main character of one of my most favorite mangas also called 'YAIBA' by mangaka Gosho Aoyama, the same mangaka that created Detective Conan.

Daily #4: I was at the library to focus on my projects and two girls were talking on the phone with another girl with the speakerphone on! How rude was that! I got so annoyed so I sketched out what I really wanted to do to rude people~

 Daily #5: I just did not feel like drawing the 'homo sapiens' anymore, so a fat dragon was the result~

Daily #6: Then again, my passion to draw pretty girls will never fade away~ (Besides, who doesn't like pretty girls?)

Daily #7: I draw girls too much I need to brush up my skill of drawing men. I would, I really would draw his whole body, then again I could not find a perfect samurai pose for him and if I had, I would have preferred making it a masterpiece, not just a daily sketch, so I went ahead and sketched out his head-shot. Behold: the legendary Miyamoto Musashi, the greatest sword-master of Japan! Below is a WIP of this~

 More daily sketches are coming soon, it will be pretty much everyday. If I don't post a daily one day, that can only mean either I am too busy on that day or too tired~ 

Happy Doodles!!! <3

I am back! / Pencil Drawings~

Hi folks!

Wow it has been forever!!! But no worries! I am officially back for good! (PROMISE!!!)

I have been drawing a lot and working on multiple projects at once. Super busy but I'm very happy, inspired, and motivated. I was on a long long hiatus after my graduation due to... life. I did post some little sketches and drawings during that time (and many times I said I would try to post more often but I did not... sorry!) but it was mainly to kill off my boredom at work, or just a very brief inspiration which did not last very long.

Now I am back for good and will produce lots of artworks as much as I can. I've been doing dailies pretty much everyday. This is to boost my creativity and improve/develop my skill. I have so much fun!

To start off my (finally) glorious comeback, here are a few pencil sketches, my drawings as transition from my hiatus to my current active and productive state (kaka~).

Hope you guys will like them!

 A few squirrel sketches for a game I've been working on as a freelance. I kinda struggled because as you know I am not as good at drawing animals since I draw mainly humans. But this was such a good practice that I am so much more confident with drawing anything beside humans now. The final design will be reviewed after the game is released so stay tuned!

These are a few concept sketches I did for a new online interactive dress-up game. This will take a while since I need to finish the squirrel game first. This one does not require a tight deadline like the other one. I was trying for either realistic style or a bit more cartoon-ish style, and my client prefers the rather realistic look on her game so I will create more designs based on this concept.

Ha ha~ I admit that I play this app game called 'MOE Can Change' and this is a little drawing of my two 'myroids'. I am no longer very active on the game though due to my current busy state. I still play it once in a while so if you play it and want to check out my myroids, you can look up 'Tina' (there are a lot of Tina's unfortunately...) and search for the picture of a myroid with long blonde hair and blue eyes (both of my girls have long blonde hair and blue eyes, just different tones). Their names are BoA and Kara (based on my 2 favorite K-Pop artists).

BIG NEWS!!! I will start working on my first (not really first but this one will be consistent) manga. It is going to be an adult romance manga. No worries, I will try my best not to make it too cheesy but rather realistic. This is a drawing of the main characters, the main couple of the manga. Stay tuned!

Here are the head-shots of each of them. These are only concepts, not final designs.

Hope you had fun looking at my pencil drawings. No worries, more and more posts are coming right after this!

Thank you!
