Ooh la la ^^, busy busy again :)

Woah long time no post but again, I've been so busy that I almost forgot about this blog. I just finished my finals last week and already am working seasonal at a bookstore company full-time. The job is pretty demanding and I found myself so overwhelming and frustrating but I'm trying my best to finish off my work at the end of the day but I still have to rely on others to get me through... Oh well but I will elaborate later on what I'm up to...

Walking in the winter wonderland :)

I felt very comfortable drawing this one. Possibly because I'm a very detailed drawer who is not used to express my ideas so openly, and the new drawing allows me to be just myself drawing the way I want to. The last one was more of a drawing to 'please' my professor. As much as I hate to admit it, the previous drawing failed short, and all the marks I made weren't genuine. To me, it's so important to be genuine in everything that I do... if...

Hello December!!!

Woah, truly I only had one blog post for November? What had I done all last month?Well, the truth is that really I had been lacking quite a bit as of late, more on the matter of keeping track of this blog. Plus, there was just so much going on last month, with the holiday and parties and such, lol. I was only able to complete one more drawing for Printmaking. This drawing was done on a much bigger stone (~ 24x30 in) and it took a while to get...

Let's talk... Clay!

Uhm, something has gotten into me, guess it was this urge to create these cute characters. I happen to have these Sculpey clays ready since last winter but never once touched them yet. So last night in between study sessions I decided to try doing something out of them, and the results can be viewed above, lol XD.Some close-up shots: That bear was a pain to make, but it was worth it :).My mom is a fan of the male daikon figurine, haha XD. She...

Lithography nightmare -__-;;

... as in how time consuming it could be.I finally got my 2 drawings for Printmaking printed. And yesterday has got to be one of the most exhausting school days for me ever for I spent freakin' 19 hours in school, working nonstop. Guess how many hours were spent on printing these babies? 13 hours all together :D (though I was printing with another friend, so we did together 20+ prints, and not 10, so that's why it took so long). Uh-huh... talk...

A quiet chaos

Got one of my drawings for printmaking done today... It was fun, but time consuming like always. What I'm afraid of is how to get it printed as best as possible. Hm... Here's also the process of the drawing, lol. I was bored as you can see :).One more to go :D!!! And the stone for this next drawing is huge, hahaha... exciting ^o^v...not hahaha. I have an idea, but it's still so fuzzy that's why this time it's gonna be a challenge filling up...

Stress reliever

A place where I belong...Bigger viewI learned how to make patterns as above in Illustrator and tried it right away and came up with this little digital drawing ^^. To view a larger version, just click on the text below. I'm sorry for the ugly watermark, but we are living in a time where stealing virtually has gotten so much easier, and even though this drawing is not a pretty one by any mean, I still want to protect what little I have, so yea....

Say hello to Emolie!!!

Weird name, I know... :DThat sculpture was a real bitch >___<, a true and sound pain in the ass. Sorry for the foul language, but that one gave me a lot of frustration and took so much of my time. When I first started making it, I guess I wasn't thinking 'sculpture' enough and that must be why I put myself into so many troubles. If I have gone the usual route of making the entire thing out of foam board, that would have made my life so much...easier,...

It's time to part...

Created this two-page comics (sort-of) for Illustration class... I wish I had more time to work on it. Doing comics took longer than I thought, or perhaps I'm just a slow-worker. This one took me approximately 7 hrs to complete, including sketching and panel-planning time in my sketch book. I hesitated a lot during the first 3 panels, but after I finished the first page, the following page was done pretty quickly.Uhm, lol, the title of this post...

Fallen Angel...

The picture above is the image I did on a stone (it is a huge stone, but has a perfect surface to draw on), supposedly a lithograph ^^!! Printmaking is so much fun. I am lucky this semester to be in a small class, totals of only 5 people including myself. Therefore, the instructor (a great instructor and artist, btw :P) gives us all his time and is very patient in making us understand all the processes involved with lithography. My love for Printmaking...

My prayer

Once upon a time, I prayed to grow up fast.Now that I'm all grown up, I wished that time would turn back.But...-Time- waits for no one.So I learned to stop wishing, and start living.My design skills are not improving at all for the past 3 years; on the other hand, they seem to be deteriorating fast!!! It's so alarming >___<; I spent a freaking 1 hour and a half to do an in-class assignment again for my Illustration class today, and the result...

Fade away...

I sketched up and painted this quickly during my Seminars Illustration class so it's quite sloppy. It looks so different on my monitor comparing to the one in my computer lab, oh well. This is not really a good piece, but for some reason, I could totally see it as a cover for my diary, lol XD... with some Korean words to spice things up, hahah.*yawn*... gosh I'm so sleepy but I still need to work on my sculpture -___-; been in school for more than...

First few wedding album design spreads...

I'm currently designing a wedding album for a friend, and this is my first time so there's a lot of difficulty. These are pretty much just thumbnails for me to see the work without having to open up Photoshop and waiting for the files to load for like 2,3 minutes or more -___- (yea, the pdf file sizes are pretty big, ~600MB for each). There's still a lot to go, but I'm dreading the traditional nha` trai going to nha` ga'i ones. Gotta work hard!!!...

||_____ Les Amis _____||

The last two/three days I crocheted like crazy, in hope to complete these as gifts before I pack for my trip to Missouri this coming Thursday. So far I'm pretty much done, save for one more, but that one will not be given until 2, 3 months later so I'm not so worried yet ^^.I'm so glad that the more I crochet, the better I am at it, and now I understood which side I should use as the outside and what should be the inside. I thought they were all...

A blessing arrived...

I crocheted another coffee cup again. This time it's for a certain kid, lol :P. It reminded me of this morning when I waited for my mom at the airport, I drank quite a lot of coffee since I had to stay up late last night helping her pack some last items and dyed her hair and beautify her, hehe...Below is a random poster I made... I even had a little of the story written but got lazy a little after that so I quitted. Writing fanfiction is not an...
