Quick Sketches By Fleecircus

It’s pretty normal that illustrator work late into the night to meet some urgent deadlines. I had lots of late nights last minute amendments on different projects lately. Even when i’m stuck with one project, i found i become more productive while waiting for large files to load/save. Here are some of the quick sketches i did. These are done rather quickly, taking faces from magazines, books for references. Practices like this helped me to stay focused, not to mention staying awake effectively!
It would be interesting to find out what are our fellow members do to stay sharp for late night deadline. :)

Lilian Lee X OIC human 360º camera zoetrope

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!
( see her other fun side projects here: http://axemarksthespot.blogspot.com/http://whomovedmyfckinwords.tumblr.com/ )

Her friends who helped to make this experiment a success – Neal (video) , Fee ( image )

And not forgetting our 26 sporting participating artists!
Can’t wait for the next “experiment”!
If you have any new ideas or suggestions do write or speak to us asap! (email info(at)oicsingapore.com/ subject: “IDEA: “
