U guys notice anything diff of my desk? If u guess the addition of a painting, u're rite~! : )
Did i mention that i wanted to paint Renaissance masterpieces? yep.. here it is. My first try at it. I'm painting the famous painting of Pieter Bruegel the Elder, The Harvesters. Maybe I will attempt to paint Leonardo Da Vinci's Mona Lisa or the Creation of Adam of Michelangelo next time round.
-
It's quite simple actually. With the sketches in place. I prepare my tools and was ready to paint.
First, is to paint the background.
Then the foregound...
The civilians and tree..
Almost done, neeed to do somemore touch up
Ta-da... tis is The Harvesters by Pieter Bruegel, recreated by me : ) ~!
Okie, I will shw u guys the real thing... The reason for my work nt having as much details as the real one is that my canvas is too small.
Hmm... pehape i still gt alot to work on. Mixing and getting the right colour, details... anw... it was alr a good work, considerin the time i have spent doin tis. 4hr 30 min with lotta distration. One of the reason of painting this is that I do need a little warmup practice before 2D ArFun. Hehe... tmr the day~! Wish me good luck and stay tune for more of ME... Fuu...(imitating Hard Gay. Lol)

Okie guys, this is e end of this block's module. I will upload pic from the Ideation class. Some of the pic i've uploaded might have alr appear here but just bear with me.
-
This is the first assignment, the Image Making Exercise.
I won't tok too much on the 4 black squares thingie, it's lame.
-
Okie, next we have the 3 collages I've done on the theme mysterious, horror and young.
This is basically a photoshooting assignment. And if u notice closely...All of them converge into one point. Do u know where izzit? Anw, it's in the middle of big photo.
You might alr have seen this character. I think I 've uploaded it into my blog before and as a msn dp. This is one of the 3 views of my monster, Zackie and the following pic is his family photo.
And lastly, my gift wrap. It looked just like a real gift wrap ya. Anw, if such pattern of giftwrap appear in the market, would u buy it? : )
I dun think i wanna post in my DrawE work, it's so boring, it's just lots n lots of still-life drawing and sketches.... u get the picture. Heehee, during the DrawE module, we were told to buy "Charlie"(the wooden doll used for drawing) and i actually bought 2~! One male,Ed, n one female, Eva, and i was wondering if i can get a Ed junior. So.. crappy rite? hahaha.
-
Today's DrawE final weightage is 30% of the whole module. OMGosh... And we were given 2 nude statues to draw. Everyone's having a really tough time but I manage to do it. After the lesson, we waited outside e classroom and enter one-by-one. She would then give comments, blah blah blah,,,
-
I know I'm nt e best in tt class but who cares, I just want my A. Went in there, so scare she would give negative comments and implying tt i do nt well enough. Beside the final drawing which she comment a little on the curve of the top of the head, the rest of the time, she was telling me I was good, I have the talent, concentrate in class, keen in learning and keep on practising to keep this lvl. I was so happy but just be4 i left, she told me tt, everything was good and i would most probably get a high B. High B~!!?? I walked out of the room calmly and when my fren ask hw was it, then i got so frustrated and told them, who cares about what good comments she say, she say i'm goin get B when my target is A. What a waste of good opportunity. DrawE is one of the few classes i can score in and i screwed up. Where else can i get my A \/=-__-)/?
-
However, there's still hope of getting an A this block, it is my Ideation1 class. I worked so hard this few weeks (I must admit i nber reallie bother about DrawingE) that I deserved it. I put in alot more effort than most of my classmates sacrificing sleep and i reallie meant it. I haven slept for 2 nights during the last stretch and pehape this is why I couldn't draw tt good in DrawingE. I'm so deprived of sleep that my vision literally blurred even when i tried to measure the angles. I can say tt in Ideation1, I've give in my 80%. And guys, for the final project, I've compiled my work into a single sketchbook called the Samdeation(That is what u get when u mix Samuel and Ideation together)- a guide for students taking Ideation1 in Temasek Design School. It look kinda like a handbook and beside rationales, art works and journals which most student just put in, here is what extra stuff u would find. Kool cover page, professional looking layout with Teamsek Design school and course name on every page, copyright thingie u would find in a normal book, about the author, acknowledgement, content page, brief of lesson for the whole module, personal views on artworks, how to apply what u learn into the making of the work, process in doing it and even a bonus on secret in producing good work, everytIme. Now, does it sound good or what. I highly recommend ppl who have nt taken Ideation1 to look thru this booklet and and use it as a reference. Hehe... but also must see if Tcher(Francine) will return to us our sketchbook.

Hmm... 2:30 now. I want quickly type down my thougts and quickly go to my lala land.
-
Basically, I'm slowly getting used to this new environment. Assignments, exercises may be alot, bt they are all small fry to me(hehe). At least the assignment in this current module is not as boring like the previous one, namely, ComDI.
-
I've finally figure out the massive spending spree I had this few weeks. I used to think that it's emotional but no... rather is a psycological pattern. I 've found out that in the past, there was time when I spent money like water, for a short period of time. I think that it has to do with habit. Short-term habit(hmm.. nice, it's a term i invent myself). You see, I am a person who is used to saving money and is able to resist the temptation of spending. There were many times when
I reallie want something but in the end, "persuade" myself it is nt worth it. Even if the thing i want is only a few dollar, I would consider very long before making the decision. Ok.. here come the pattern of short-term-habit. When I am forced(need) to get something or cannot resist the temptation and bought one, I alr break the not-buying pattern. And during that moment develop a short-term-habit into buying stuff... I would oftenly give e excus tt i alr spent some money, why nt spent some more... and in the end, end out buying alot. Especially in places such as Bras Basah Complex, it is truly considered a paradise to me. Forget to tell u, this week i went there again to get the doll for drawing, which cost only 8+ each(i bought a guy n a female, wonder will i have a kid doll soon. lol), and end up spending $70.
-
Dear readers, even though i say that i spent so much, dun be worried too much. Soon after the habit die off, to make out of what is lost, I started saving again. I will never be out of cash. I dun actually spend what I saved so hard. In order to reduce e risk of spending all e money, sometime, when i reach about $300, I will diligently put them into the bank so my limit will be smaller when another spending spree started.
-
-
What more can i say...? Hmm... okiee... Actually, I'm started to enjoy DrawingEss. I really can see mark improvement in my real life drawing and the accuracy of the drawing. Maybe I will post all my artworks done during DrawingEss next time. Most probably at the end of the module. However, I cannot gurantee the quality of the pictures. Since i do nt noe hw to use my scanner, I will most probably take pic of them with my camera phone. Just hope it will appear nice.
-
The assignment I am currently working on nw is some texture thingie... like the DrawingEss... I will also try to post all the artworks at the end of the module. Be sure to check them up.
-
Congrat if u r able to tahan my rubbish up till here. Gimme some comments in the tagbox, and gimme advice on hw to be able to entertain u guys. Poems? Stories? Events? or more pics? I will try to accomadate to the need of u all(also, to suckled more ppl to tag it\/=~_~)/) hehe... Bye for now... for those reading this entry in the morning, good morning, those reading this entry in the afternoon, good afternoon, those reading this entry in the evening, good evening, those reading this entry in the night, Good night... Sweet dreamz... : ) (man.. tis is damn tirng sia...)

He stands alone as the wind blows around him
It speaks of the unknown and sends chills to the bone
The trees sway from side to side
as the flowers mourn like someone died
He slowly walks down the street
not knowing exactly what he'll meet
He was all alone and...
thinking that no one cared
He longed for a different place to be
A place where happiness comes so easily
A place where he would rather be
In his mind he'd pretend that he could only hear himself
Until he heard a voice say
that he can't go on living life this way...
His fears and lonliness finally came to an end
The day he realized he had a friend....

Haven been blogging past few days since I am buzi with my character design assignment. Well... the time now is 8:40 p.m... n the last time i sleep is the day before yesterday. Really is tired nw... bt anw... juz quickly jot down some info i want to record and do 2 sketches den dreamland.
-
The day before yesterday, which was 6th of June. Some reallie creepy happen. Everyone in TP shld know i have a veri special matrice no. which is 0606006E yah... what sent chill down my spine was that day, my dad came to fetch me back from school at exactly 6:06p.m and 6 second. Matrice card no.? 6th June? Fetch at exactly 6:06:06? Man... that was creepy.
-
In the course of doing the Character Design thingie. I happened to do alotof design, den Li Jia say i spolit market and that she only do 5, why i do 35. And she also say that what's the point doin so much... Maybe in the end she also get that 5% for doing 5 design n my 35 design also earn me 5%. That set me thinking. No doubt I can also do it veri simple and achieve that 5% but the truth is, I want to do it liddat. It's no longer about the marks, the 5%. Rather, it's enjoying what I am doin, having fun while doing it. That matters~!
-
Wednesday, which was yesterday, is considered a rush hour for all of us. Even during e lesson den, we had so much question we want to make clear with e lecturer need feedback on how to improve the character but instead, th whole lesson is to asssign us future assignment. After school, each of us had develop a plan on how to complete our paintings, rationaling n journal. Some decide to take a evening nap, some decided to hang their hair to prevent sleeping, some with jug of coffee and some jus dun care. My plan is to quickly complete it, preferably be4 midnight n go rest for the day...
-
i was painting the sepia effect on my watercolor paper when I fianlly gave out n decide on redoing. It is den 8 plus, i am only on my first painting n that i redo it. Still got another painting on 3 pt of view, rationaling and journal.
-
1 plus i had completed the drawing of both the painting... now on to inking n painting. My eye is closing, vision is blurring. Arrg..~! Went to wash my face couple time that night. even had supper. Not working. I stand up, thinking that i won't fall alsleep. Only to find zhuo gong waving at me and within minute my mind start wondering into dreamland even when i was still on my feet. There was once i was painting n suddenly was suck into dreamland for a second, resulting in me painting a stroke across my artwork~! And pls forgive my grammer, i basically cannot think nw. Jus bear with me for a while more.
-
That morning, alot of ppl nvr appear. Most still staying at home doin final touches n rushing to finish their character. I am a good boi, I went for DrawingE lesson. For the whole 3 hrs, my eye is like watering like mad. It is as if i'm crying. Lol...

Anw... this is my character's design

Just smile and make my day.

smiling is infectionous, you catch it like the flu

a single smile just like mine culd travel around the earth,
so.... if you feel a smile begin, dont leave it undetected,
lets start an epidemis quick.
and get the whole world infected..........................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The 3D ArFun looked at me when she said, there are some ppl who almost got an A. I went to ask her and found out that i was only short of 2 points to get an A. Damn wasted. Beside, come to think of it, if i done my plaster scupture reflective journal, I would be able to get tt A. This lemme see the importance of every marks and assignments we do.
-
Even the Image-Making Exercise of Ideation class take out only 5% of the module marks, i spent the whole night to do it. I have seen the important of every marks and that maybe a few marks will determine a good grade n a average grade. Not to mention those assignment that take out 10-20 % of the module. For example Character Design, which took up 20%. Just now, during e 3 hrs i am waiting for my taekwondo to start, I started doing it, even though the lecture have nt assign it yet. I believe that Ideation, Drawing essential and 2D ArFun is able to earn me an A so i will not let such an oppartunity slip away. Since now i am nt able to get an A for 3D ArFun, i will have to be more careful in future projects and assignments. My goal in TP is that my result should be around 2. So, subject such as ComDI, i am nt doin well... it's okie, i will pull the mean grade up with other modules.
This is a pic of my Image-Making Exercise. This is in the process of shading. I haven reallie completed shading it. And too bad i nber take a photo of it when I'm done with it. Anw, the final piece is basically the same only with a few more shading here and there.
-
Even when it look very nice already(according to others), I'm still nt satified with it. Even when i have such a wonderful concept, i blame myself for nt being able to draw well enough. Some shading still dun look like professionals ones. The technique i used to draw is still nt good enough, and tht i still have a lotta to do to improve it.
-
My friend's work reallie look good n the style of drawing iz veri mature. That iz why it motivate me to also produce a good work. When i brought it to class, my classmate is like "wow wowo w ow..." I felt like i am spoling the market n ppl were like saying, why make so good one. Then my one how. With them saying that, I juz smile n nod my head and dun dare to say tt i am nt satified with it.
-
okiee... end here ya... i'm too tired le lar... Won't bother to post in $0.35 too so dun bother to even go there.
