Taking planes, my family wish...

Singapore Airlines...

I come from a middle-income family, able to go overseas occasionally  However, I know I can't overspend and take planes often. It is always my family wish to take planes to go overseas, to many different countries and to explore the world. The flora and fauna of rural areas, the concrete grey of high rise buildings, the scent of the unfamiliar air, all these that I hope to experience. I hope to save enough to bring my parents overseas. That is why I am saving really hard now, I may look stingy now, but I know I need to...

This was drawn with reference to the actual Singapore Airlines plane and I modified it to look more cartoon-like. Looks more like a toy yea? Took me some time to get those windows colored. Each and every small yellow window. The plane of the body in shades of light grey and contrasting blue plane tail, with bird logo colored using complementary yellow. Got the proportions slightly wrong, but didn't have much space to rescue it. So, this brings my fat plane. :)

Look out for more...

Sushi...

Sushi

This is actually drawn for my friend who is studying in Japan. She is there to study for a year and I decided to draw this before she left Singapore as a present. This sushi is actually drawn with reference to a sushi from Ichiban Sushi Restaurant. It was actually rice covered with a layer of cheese, wrapped over seaweed with egg, cucumber and fish roe. Delicious. Hope my friend is enjoying her sushi meals in Japan. 

Burnt yellow for the cheese of the sushi, decorated with seaweed of dull green. Drawing each rice beads with pale yellow, beige and geen. Gradients of orange for the roe, gradual gradients for the yellow egg and then the cucumber. A Japanese styled plate for the background to distinguish the sushi from the background colour. Love the rice though, because of the effort drawing one by one:)

Logo...

Videography Company Logo Design

Managed to design a logo for my friends personal company which helps to make videos for weddings. She gave me a concept of what she wanted and I improvised on it and drew this for her. She sorts of uses it to print on her production video cd covers. I felt proud when I saw the logo printed on her cds. I am part of the production in a small way. My initial idea of a logo was simpler without the colour and so I submitted the black and white one. In the end, I decided to give it more colours and my friend seemed to like the latter.

Drew a cartooney video camera outline standing on a letter T and made use of the letter T to form the word Tik, which is my friend's name and then completed the wordings in black, small letters. 

Pebbles...

Pebbles...

This was one of the scenery drawings that I did quite some time ago. The inspiration came from the time when I was really down. Whenever I feel sad, I hope to be by the sea. I hope to look at the blue sea and calm waters with the pebbles and sand around. I will want to find some time alone...

The different sizes of pebbles stacked staggered, with contrasting shadows to emphasize the angle of the light. The sea bleached in turquoise green instead of blue to differentiate the horizon between the sky and sea. The sky is shaded with more than 7 shades of blue to give a gentle variation of the daylight, as well as the reflection of the sea...
