A good friend of mine made this hilarious rendition of me. Apparently, this is what I look like when I got angry.

Some new stuff

Some recent sketches.

Life is either horrible and miserable...

2012-02-06T22:36:00.002-05:00

Horrible is the terminal cases etc, and the miserable is everyone else. So be glad if you're miserable.

His words, I'm just paraphrasing.

I thought I posted this before...

I think I was thinking of Clint Eastwood and...moustache?

Liiiiving in a material world!

Creeeeepy...

Oh yeah...I did finish it.

Sorry, Michelangelo. I did try...

Back to basics

2009-08-13T22:49:00.011-04:00

Okay, so I decided to picked up oil painting again. I have not been oil painting for almost 10 years now. The Michelangelo's David Photoshop was a “test” drive for oil painting. Definitely, did not help.

So let's see.

Step 1.
I started with charcoal sketch on canvas. Hey, I don’t really know what is the official way to do this thing. I think I’m a pretty decent sketcher. Pretty good I guess, aside from the fact that it doesn’t look like the sculpture at all.

Step 2.
I really have no idea what to do. Ten years ago, I had instructor! He is incredibly talented. Anyway, I draw over the sketch using black paint. Let’s see if this do me any good.

Step 3.
Next, I tried to use color and I got swamp-thing. I started from the dark area first. Whether or not this helps, that’s another story. Did I mention I did not know what I was doing? Great.

Step 4.
Take note: I always starts with the eyes when I draw portrait. Eyes are difficult to draw, so if you screw up, you can immediately start over

Step 5.
Hey there, now you look pretty good I guess. Crap! I forget I need to do the hair also. What to do???

Step 6.
Hmm, the hair is tough. Hair is actually one of my weakest point. Hmm, need to draw more.

Step 7.
Lesson to myself. Do not draw in under yellow lights. Always use white lights! This looks really gray! And he looks like 40 years old! Ah well. To be continued.

Umm.. Yeah.

Old Man Head

2009-01-29T13:04:00.011-05:00

Today is awesome day. After many many trials and errors, I finally made my 1st successful 3D model of a person's face. I used Blender, an open source software for 3D modeling, rendering, animation and such. I also include my work in progress. Check them out.

And finally…

Lady Sketch

2009-01-22T12:57:00.003-05:00

This one is for clients. They like the sketchy look. But they don’t like the face. Ouch.

Banner, finally!

2008-12-06T02:35:00.002-05:00

Finally, I got it done…for now.

Lunch Sketch #2

2008-11-20T12:47:00.003-05:00

I just downloaded a bunch of Photoshop brushes. They’re so awesome! As you can see, I was probably having too much fun and sort of abused it. Anyway, this is about 20 minutes sketch and 30 minutes random painting and splattering.

Jon Stewart

2008-11-10T09:00:00.004-05:00

Here’s a question. What would politics be without Jon Stewart? The answer: not funny. He is the man. If he runs for president, I would vote for him. Anyway, I did this one pretty quickly. It was about 30 minutes of sketch and 1 hour of painting in Photoshop. Enjoy.

Vespa

2008-11-10T08:50:00.006-05:00

I know keep drawing human faces is going to be boring…Okay, I lied. It’s never boring, in fact, it's always interesting and it’s the best. However, just for the sake of variation, heeeeeeeere’s Vespa! Why Vespa? Who cares? It’s awesome.

Note to self: Practice drawing circles. My tires suck…

Audrey Hepburn

2008-11-07T08:57:00.003-05:00

Okay, another old drawing. However, this is one of the drawings I’ve done that I truly like. Enjoy.

My Niece

2008-11-07T08:41:00.004-05:00

This painting is a few months old. I have not had the time to draw anything recently. Hopefully, I’ll get back to it again. Meanwhile, enjoy and have a nice day.

Eyes

2008-09-29T10:02:00.002-04:00

This is just some sketches of eyes.

Banner sketch

2008-09-09T21:13:00.003-04:00

This is a sketch for my blog banner. Lame, I know. I like the crazy monkey, though. Maybe I should let it hold some sort of shotgun or AK-47. Or maybe I'll just have it throwing a coconut at me.

Late night photoshop painting

2008-09-08T22:36:00.000-04:00

This is late night quick sketch. Took me about an hour or so. I saw a photo in Veer catalog book and I paint it in more caricature style. It was alright. Not to satisfied with it. I was having a lot of fun doing the hair though. I got a custom brush that made drawing the hair so easy. Other than that…bleh.

Lunch sketch #1

2008-09-08T12:58:00.000-04:00

This is one of my attempts to sketch more often. This was sketched during lunch time. Probably took me about 30–40 minutes. Oh yeah, images are referenced from the internet.

Friday night

2008-08-22T21:13:00.000-04:00

Either I’m too dedicated or I’m too slow. It’s 9 pm and I’m still at the office. Two days in a row. I’m going to go home now, but need to come back in the office either tomorrow or Sunday. Yay…

Anyway, this is how I felt at the office today.

My first post. I’m trying to draw more often, and hope that this blog would help me do just that. Anyway, this is one of three series illustration for work. I'm trying to make it more iconic and simple. This is “Annoyed”.
