I Love Flowers

Hehe, I really love flowers. I like to touch their petals when I walk by them, so smooth and soft (an action which my sister always scold me and say that my skin may get irritated- I have skin allergy).

- Sunflower -

From oOOo When I am free oOOo

Woo, Gek shan want me to draw a sunflower for her display picture. Hmm, she really really like sunflower wor... Fufufu, she even insisted that she wanted a coloured one. So I used my 姐姐牌 (sister brand) magic pen again. When my sister saw this picture, she almost fainted. Haha, no la, she just said: My magic pen... ... I buy one. This is such a waste... I feel so bad, so I used my own orange marker for the colour effect.

- Lily -

From oOOo When I am free oOOo

This is the one I used as display picture (Refer to my previous post regarding display picture). This is actually draw on the same day as the sunflower... Now you know why I used my new marker instead of the 姐姐牌 (sister brand) magic pen.

The two pictures above are drew on 10th May, Sunday.

- Rose -

From oOOo When I am free oOOo

This was drew on the 14th of May, Thursday. I went to a Temple with my mum on that day. After that, we pass by a florist shop and my mum saw two pots of rose which she later brought. She likes planting and loves rose. I was telling her that I was never able to draw rose and she told me I can try again now that we have two pots at home. Haha, this is the first time I manage to draw something that is recognisable as rose, I'm so happy!!!

- Lavender -

From oOOo When I am free oOOo

I was msn-ing with Gek Shan tonight. She told me that her sister want me to draw for her and Gek Shan said to draw lavender. I was like... stun... what?!? Lavender is so difficult to draw!!! So I went online to look for some photographs of lavender. The drawing above was based on photograph on the Internet. I used picasa to apply soft edge for the effect. This is draw with purple marker and colour pencil.

I was quite sad actually, because Gek Shan's sister said that it was not nice, don't look like lavender. When I show them the photograph which I referred when I draw it, she just said erm.. erm... * heart breaks. So she took the picture of the rose for her display picture instead of the lavender...

During the Exam

Haha, I went to brought a sketch book after the Exams so that I don't have to draw on random piece of paper!! I was at the book store, thinking which sketch book should I buy, and what size. Since I'm always bad at drawing large size things, I brought a A4 size sketch book.

I decided to paste my sketches on those random piece of paper onto the sketch book so as to be more organise. Hehe, 重点来了哦... This is when I come across something I drew during the Exam period (Arh... that horrible memory!!! Haha) I know, I know, this Blog is supposed to be on what I do when I am free. And logically, I'm not supposed to be free during Exams. Heck! (oops, please pandon the harsh word used) I just like to draw when I'm stress also, to destress during the break. Hee... so the break during studying is also consider as free time right? ne?

This is what I drew when I was studying in the school library with my friend. And it is basically how I feel during the whole process.

From oOOo When I am free oOOo

It's good to study at the school library...

1) In order to find a good seat, you have to reach the school early, so in a sense, it motivates you to wake up early.

2) It is so quiet and it allow you to concentrate. Or you can also say that it kind of force you to concentrate since you won't be feeling any wants to chat with your friend.

3) If you are a lazy person like me, you wouldn't bring your laptop (mine has a name: The Rock) along with you. This means that there will not be any distraction from the internet. Yes!!!

4) There are other students there, people you don't know, and you will feel the need to show that you are hardworking. So, you will study, and study hard even when you don't feel like it.

The second picture I drew is this:

This is actually for those who want to burn their notes after the Exams. If you are concern about the environment, there is an alternative way to treat your notes: Recycle. My friend was saying that she might use it as toilet paper. You know, a good suggestion if you really hates the subject. The only problem is that I hope the skin on your backside is thick enough to withstand the rough texture.

My Display Pictures

Woo, I like to draw my own messager display picture!! I normally draw something related to my mood at that time.

- Holiday -

From oOOo When I am free oOOo

Hehe, I drew this during the recess week. My idea of holiday is to be at the beach. 想到沙滩就会想到椰子树；想到椰子树就会想到沙滩!! 当然还有海浪，沙子和太阳... (When you think of beach, you will think of coconut tree; when you think of coconut tree, you will think of the beach!! There's also waves, sand and the Sun...) Fufufu, when one friend saw this displayed picture, he was like: why do you want to lie to yourself? Recess week was so busy, it's not a holiday at all. Haha, it was kind of true, but looking at my display picture every time I login to messager kind of lift up my mood. Draw with 姐姐牌 (sister brand) magic pen. (My sister will scold me for wasting her magic pen if she see this... ... )

- 我的小花 (My flowers) -

From oOOo When I am free oOOo

In the memory of my flowers *sob sob, wa----------!! 一场无情的大雨过后，我的花死了! (My flowers died after the "heartless" rain)

I planted some seeds in a pot: livingstone daisy (松叶菊). I saw a lot of these plant along the street of Malaysia and I thought that it has simple but nice flowers, with high tolerance (since it was on the street). Unfortunately, most of the seedlings died... but there was a few remaining ones. And I thought it has high tolerance... *sob. There was alot of storms in Singapore at that time... ok, maybe just rain, but to those small seedlings, they must have feel like storms right. I actually put a small umbrella for the seedlings, those used for decoration. I even choose a red coloured one to make the pot looks more colourful and I'll close the umbrella when there is no rain so that sunlight can reach them. Then one fateful night... I was so tire... I went to sleep and continue to do so even when the rain wake me up in the middle of the night... So, the very next day, when I went to check out my seedlings, they all died. * Wa-----------!! Curse the rain! I was so sad, I drew this picture for my display picture. Again, draw with 姐姐牌 (sister brand) magic pen.

- 心情很漂亮 (Beautiful mood) -

From oOOo When I am free oOOo

Draw this after my Exams. How can my 心情 be not 漂亮? This is supposed to be a long vacation, my very first one in university life. I'm year two this year, and my first long vacation was used for some special term...

I love flowers!! I draw quite a few different flowers after my exam. This is supposed to be lily if you cannot recognise it. Fufufu, I draw it with black pen and my NEW marker. At first I thought it was peach colour, which I can use as skin colour when I draw people... But turned out, it was more like light orange...

The Header

Woo, my Blog, I'm so excited!!!

For the first post, let me talk about my header. Fufufu, I actually draw my own header and edit it with photoshop. Initially, I was thinking of what photo to use as the header. Then my sister was telling me that I should draw it since I like to draw when I'm free. Not to mention that I intented to put up my sketches on this Blog. The problem is: what should I draw? Flowers? Grass? These are suggested by my sister.


In the end, I decided to draw a grassland with flowers (haha, how original, the idea). The original piece was a simple sketch on white paper.

I then use photoshop to invert the colour and texturize it. Next, I added in the words. I have to include the words in the picture as the Title of the Blog have to be CAPed, which means my pattern of oOOo will become OOOO, so ulgy!! I don't want!!! Can you imagine seeing

OOOO When I am Free OOOO

From oOOo When I am free oOOo

As I started to fool around with photoshop... Erm, I mean started to learn more of its function, I came across this circular rainbow function. Hehex, so I added in so that my header would have more colours. I tried a few times to make it looked at least artistic, and tada~~ the header is out.

From oOOo When I am free oOOo

I love my header!!! I know it looks a bit childish, but I really like it, this is just so my style. (Especial when I put in effort in it and that the final piece is so much different from the original.)
