Newspaper ad illustration for Singapore Repertory Theatre and StarHub’s “Art Hub It” program. Thanks to the wonderful team at DDB for commissioning me to work on this.
I love to draw surrealistic, colourful and intricate fantasy scenes and this collab project was just perfect and very fun. I have to pull myself away and stop adding details due to the tight dateline if not I can keep on drawing! 
Intitial sketches were done using paper, iPad and cleaned up in Photoshop. Final artwork was created using Photoshop.
stage 01 – 2 ideas were proposed.
stage 02 – Selected idea was refined and more ideas added to ensure drawing looks suitably intricate.
stage03 – Final drawing completed in Photoshop. Would love to draw the final lines using a proper dip pen but dateline was too short.

As part of OIC’s challenge to its Portrait After Dark participants to have fun and to draw and think “different” – Lilian suggested that we can organise a special session to get enough drawings to make an illustrated zoetrope. A total of 26 artists participated and many wonderful portraits from very angle were produced.
Lilian kindly enlisted her friends to help her record the process via video and photographs and also to “stitched” all the collected drawings together.
Here is the final video
Here is the “making-of” video
See the photos of the event here on our FaceBook page. ( Do remember to “LIKE” us )
Special thanks to:
Lillian Lee – for the conducting the “experiment” with us and for buying all the drawings too!
