Gwendolyn

No, she's not Gwen Tennyson.

I was having some fun with Shaz's A4-sized tablet and decided to make

this sketch a colored one.

Mind, it's my first time drawing something straight from the tablet,

so like, it's not my best work,

though I am quite satisfied with the result

as it's only a lil' sketch.

Shaz, Bee and Terry thought she looked like me...

==

But to be honest, I modeled her a lil' to be like my future daughter.

*shrugs*

Tell me what you think, yeah?

Morning Rain Whilst The Sky Remains Black

If the title confuses the hell outta you,
it's now 2 in the morning here for me.

Why am I still up so late?

Well, it's usual for us TOA folk, actually.

But what I wanna whine about now is how long I took to finish
what I think is one of my best work so far.


Hugh Laurie / Dr. House


I swear to God that if it wasn't for the wrinkled paper
and the poor lighting, it'll look better.

Heck, you can ask any of my college mates how the real thing looks like.

But what peeved me about the drawing is that although it took me
my average of 4 hours,
I took up an entire hour to construct the proportion.

Yes, 1 hour to get everything as spot-on as humanly possible.

And without keeping track of the time,
I stupidly spent another hour just to shade the left eye.
WTF?

Well, to be honest,
I was referring to the way one of my seniors did the same picture,
so I got carried away.

Die
Die
Die.

I should be getting some sleep now,
but I'm tempted to finish the last level of Halo 2 tonight
so that I have nothing to itch to do when I get back tomorrow.

*Then* all I have to do is to finish my other work that's due by next week.

Ugh.

We don't have things easy, I tell you.

Losing The Race That Wasn't Even There

It was all make-believe by my mind.

All it ended up doing was hurting me again, badly.

Why do I even bother to do it
if I know I'm never going to stand a chance?

I never saw the hints,
giving off too much of my own in the process.

Every move I made, intentional or not,
was saw right through.

I'm tired of having my heart broken,
I'm tired of being seen as such a ridiculous hopeless romantic.

Maybe the 100% wasn't meant to be a positive one.
Maybe it just affirmed that we were never meant to be.

You wouldn't have been the first.

Hell,
I can't say if you'll be the last.

The only thing is...
Will it come to a point that I'll be afraid to fall for someone again?

Every Silver Lining has a Cloud. Really.

Be it by the hands of Fate that we shan't be able to meet on this day.

Lest my heart be burdened by this.


It is your companionship that I miss.
My feelings for you are not involved in this debacle,
only my desire to see you after a year's absence.

Only as friends.

Is that too much to ask for?

Comparisons

Just to show you guys out there what Bee Lian is like
compared to the great almighty Shaz.

XD

Reflections

Chapter 16 is now out, people!

And as promised, the action's toned down.

Alot.

You'll know what I mean.

;)

The Picture Frames We Call Memories

So I'm home early for a change,

since class ended early today.


Finally dug up the old family digital camera since I need to use it
for one of my classes,
Letterform and Calligraphy.

Wanted to focus more on the guy in the center.
Y'know, the one standing up? He's the lecturer for the class,
Gabriel. And he's Swiss, ladies.

This was supposed to be just a shot showing the class, but little miss Bee Lian thought I was taking a shot of her. "Perasan little shorty,"
would be Shaz's comment on it.

And speaking of Shaz...there he is.
He's one of the best in my class in terms of drawing.


And since he's like, the tallest guy in class,
and in contrast Bee's the shortest (okay lah, the cutest too, okay?),
he torments her on a daily basis to our class's amusement.
It's all good fun in the end though.
Unlike how *some* people do it...

Too bad I couldn't get a clear shot of what he was drawing
exactly.

In order:
GC, Sim Yang and Patrick.
Sim and Pat are also 2 of the several classmates I bow my head to
in terms of their Figure Studies drawing,
besides Shaz and a few others.

Melvin (blue t-shirt guy in the middle) having some fun
as the guys share a laugh or two about some jokes
we came up with.
There were too many for me to remember which joke exactly...




We then had to go out and find some pics of
things that resembled alphabets,
like how a lamp post would look like an 'I'.

I thought the lion of Sunway Pyramid looks like a 'r' from this angle.
Whaaaat~?
It kinda does!

Later on...

Bee wanted to try this new restaurant for lunch,
so we went along with
Shaz, GC, Mei Kuan and Ern Nee,
and later visited by Ken and Vincent.

After much hard efforts from me and GC to get a snapshot,
I managed to get one of Channiece with her other half, Boon Sin/Sotong.
Not a very good one, though, as I practically freaked-out when she saw me.

This is one of my experiments in trying to draw old men.
The results were rather okay for me,
since I got a few approving nods here and there for it.

"Why's the rum...always...gone?"
-Captain Jack Sparrow-

Credits go to Shaz for giving me the reference picture for this piece.
It's one of my best by far yet.


And I got a few praises and constructive feedback on this week's submission
and I appreciate them, although a certain party's comments were redundant, to say the least.



Just goes to show that the majority
will always overwhelm the individual
in several situations.
