Break time

Last week in illustration class, Ned showed us pictures of concept artists, which kinda got me thinking. He said that people who usually do rough sketchers are generally brilliant concept artists, but lack the ability to refine their work into finished pieces. On the other hand, people who can illustrate pieces with high techincal skills sometimes lack the substance of a concept sketch artist.

Hrm. I wonder which is better?

I usually can draw pretty decent concepts, but my finished works are always lacking techinically -__- I hope I won't be like this for the rest of my career. Although concept artists get pretty decent pay- $250 per image, x that by 7+ images for an advert storyboard KACHING $$$. Not bad ey? Although the advertising ones Ned showed us in class seem unfufilling...

Here's something I drew for illustration class. I might post all my work this semester. Gotta get recognised somehow!

TASK : Draw a massive cactus

If I didn't do this the day before I prob could've fixed up my shading a bit more ^^"

Goal - Must refine technique. I'd rather people be in awe of something I poured my heart into rather then a 5 min sketch.

Still got a lonnnnnng way to go *sigh*...

Totoro Forest Project

I heard about this project a few months ago...yet it was only today i stumbled across the website! This project is based on the animation "Totoro" (which i sitll haven't seen ._. ) and features illustrators/artists from around the globe who illustrate their own interpretation of it. Very inspiring and depressing at the same time....I wish I was hardcore!!!

Heh i thought this was cute. Peeping Totoro!!! All traditional as well!!! (depressed ._. )

There she is!

This animation is so cool! The characters are so cute, yet the storyline still potrayed a deep message. Cat&bunny love = APPROVED :D
Animation & music were really sweet too. GO GO GO and see :]

Malaysia Boleh! part III where are u? :(

Hii folks,
Damn i feel so bad for not continuing my malaysia story -.- i kinda ran out of doodles to post up haha...i've been trying to post photos on blogspot, but for some reason it's nasty to me. Prehaps next time when i'm free i'll post them in photobucket and link back here ey?

Anyway...it seems this blog has turned into my "telling my life" blog. OH NOES how boring. But speaking of life, uni has started today! Got this incredibly difficult brief, but i'm glad we got a kool-ish laid back teacher for it(johnno was it?).

Hrmm...can't believe it's final year already. My goal is to be true(?) to my skills. No more boring corporate stuff. I just want to be an illustrator and draw for the rest of my life. ^^v

GOTTA WORK HARD AND YOU SHOULD TOO :D
ciao!
