Sketch Session

Hi all!

Had a guitar, sketch and chat session last night with Zi Chao! :D
I think it's really cool to be exchanging pointers every now and then.
I learnt a lot in these sessions!

Here are some of the gestures from last night! :)

Iori Yagami

Hello,

This is a really quick and rouch fan doodle of Iori Yagami.
He's easily the coolest character ever in the King of Fighters!
Took a couple of hours for this piece.

Hope fans like it! :D

Minifong Initial Sketch

Hey all, this is an initial sketch of my new character, MINIFONG.
I did this sketch few months ago :)



Plans to make him 3D and do some wacky stuff but not sure how my schedule will be.
Thought it'll be good to just post it to share my progress ;D

cheers!

Digital Portrait

Hey, this is a digital painting practice done in 40 mins.
I'm thinking of doing some 3D speed modelling in about 30 mins to 60 mins too.
Not sure if that is feasible but I'll give it a go soon!

Probably model a simple 3D cartoon character like.. Sonic 3D!
Hope you'll like this painting!

林俊杰 | JJ Lin - Digital Speed Painting

Hey there!

This is a digital speed painting of my idol! Talented Singaporean singer-songwriter JJ Lin (林俊杰) Lin Jun Jie!

Always wanted to paint JJ Lin (林俊杰) but I started this series with Jay Chou (周杰伦) because I'm afraid I might not do a good job with with it. Looking at the result, I think I'm quite satisfied except that I spent too much time on it, took me about 5 hours for this piece!!

In terms of resemblance, I think I did a better job with JJ Lin because there was feedback that the eyes of my Jay Chou painting looked like those of Gary Cao's!

In any case, I hope JJ won't get mad if he sees that this painting doesn't resemble him very much! XP

In fact, compared to the Jay Chou (周杰伦) painting, this painting is of much higher dimensions. That's probably why I took about 3 times longer!

I plan to a series of such videos of celebrities because I think it's super cool to watch the painting process! :D
I'm kind of addicted to making such videos! Hahahaha!

周杰伦 | Jay Chou - Digital Speed Painting

Hello!

This is a digital 'speed' painting of talented taiwanese singer-songwriter Jay Chou (周杰伦) !
I plan to do a series of such videos of celebrities because it's so cool to watch the painting process! :D
I'm kind of addicted to making such videos! Hahaha!

Actually, I wanted to do a JJ Lin one first because he is my idol and I really like his music. However, I was afraid I might not do a good job so I started with Jay Chou first :P

I'm open to suggestions to who to paint, so do leave a comment! :D

The final result:


Next up: JJ Lin Jun Jie (林俊杰)
