It’s amazing what you can learn drawing from photography books and other reference materials. (eg. books on underwater photography, cities, landscapes, ancient artifacts, architecture, old japanes drawings, etc.) So this saturday morning, if you are looking for a relaxing quiet cool place to draw, want to discover new interesting subject matters to draw, and chill out with other illustrators, then join us at the art reference section of the National Library (Bras Basah) 8th floor locker area at 10am-12.00pm+. Cost is FREE. Can leave anytime. We will go for lunch after that. (but have your own breakfast)
DO: bring a sketch pad (not in booklet form) or sheets of paper. Bring pens, pencils, erasers, small pencil box. DO NOT: bring paints or materials that will look like they will damage their books. Be late because seats at the reference section get taken up fast so please come on time. Talk in the library (whisper if you must.)
Sign up in comments section if interested. Call Andrew at 91070735 if you are lost.

Here’s a vid of the process captured with time lapse photography… and edited in After Effects. I was trying to insert music in Youtube but the function was out the entire day. So for the time being, you may see it without music…
Thanks to 5 Secs Face that have taken so many beautiful pictures that have been my source of wonderful references of people. These were all done based on the pictures taken by Fleecircus, with media such as pen & ink, watercolor washes, magic pens, markers and etc. Each portrait took no longer than 10 mins.
Here is a small project done just for fun, practice and experimentation. They were mostly based on pictures in the Straits Times. Mistakes and all remain uncorrected in them. No photoshoping. The nice part is that there’s no client to request changes to these:) Please feel free to continue this theme of newspaper drawings in your own style. I think it would be fun to see.
Book cover illustration for “The Prince of neither here nor there” by Sean Cullen (Penguin). The brief called for the focus to be on the medallion so I played around with the lighting, such that the fairies are illuminated just enough to stand out against the dark background. I did this a while back but the book was only just published recently.
