I cleaned up Gluttony rat. Ready for color.

"StudyOfCrying"Editorial

The article was on new results from the studies of crying that scientist are doing nowadays. I am surprised that there are actually no smiley faces with a teardrop on Google!!!

APageOfHatchV2

A random page of my addition to Hatch vol.2.
It is completely senseless when out of context.



I' ve been drawing alot of rats lately...and I dont know why....

POST EDIT: Man, I have a sudden urge to etch the top panel on to a copper plate.

Sins

Sketches of charactertures for Greed and Gluttony. I still need to tweak the design for Envy. I think I gonna do these by using a condensed watercolour wash, and then go over it with pastel pencils or color pencils.

Drafted Illustration?

Recently, I have been trying to incorporate technical drawing from architecture into my illustration work. This was a piece on the essence of a movie called Taken. (18x24 pen and ink) I'm not completely done with the piece yet as I still feel that there is something missing. But at the same time, I do not want to put too much black into the piece since I have a tendency to do so.....I am not sure what to think of it anymore, and it also turns out that some people cant tell Liam Neeson from Robert DeNiro....which I find strange.

LightDesign

This is a lighting unit that I originally designed for a lighting exhibition, but it was never submitted due to my laziness . The concept was to have these square lights in various sizes packed together to fill up an entire wall very much like the "Paris de Salon" of Academie des Beaux-Arts during 16-17th century.


After some careful measurement of the apartment, and consideration for ,my friend, Melissa's electricity bill, I decided to take a single unit from the lighting design, and blow it up to a 3 ft. x 3 ft. square, and presented it to her as a birthday present. I'm pretty glad with how it fits so well in her room.

This is the light during daytime.


and this it during nighttime.

SuperBigPost

I have gotten back into watercolors lately. This is a piece I did on
a 9x12 sheet of watercolor paper with a 3 color limited palette.




I finally learned how to paint with oils over the past half year or so. I enjoy everything about it except the cleaning up part.In the 3rd week into painting, I painted this on a 22x40 hand stretched canvas. I really began to play with the way I slopped on Gesso to create a texture even before painting on the canvas.



I'm really pleased with how this leg turned out.



Afterwards, I began to study generalizing shapes and colors.
I also began to add my study of light, and weight into the style.
I can see my paintings become more painterly as the weeks roll by.
These are both done on 30x40 canvases each.




For one of my final pieces, I took a coin from the Yang Dynasty (Chinese)
that has 1 inch in diameter and painted it on a 40x40 canvas. It turns out
that the bigger the canvas, the more I enjoy painting on it. I really want to
paint on a 120x120 or even bigger size, but I have no space for something
like that right now. Stretching a canvas that big must be crazy.



For my second piece, I studied Lucian Freud(a modern god of oils),and
his painting Reflection II. It was required that I use his palette
and techniques, so this is what I came up with this for my self portrait.
