Mirror Mirror On the Wall

Drawn on Feb 17, 2011

Mirror Mirror on the wall, who's the fairest of them all?

Famous Quote from the Fairy Tale Snow White, well,
I wasn't really asking that question but recently I had been looking into the mirror
for uncountable times. Due to the fact that I got some kind of Allergy on my face..haha..
It's getting better and better anyway~
Featuring Lisa Cant, again,  in this illustration.
I came across an old magazine page that inspired
me to draw this this morning, as early as six o'clock.
It's the antibiotics or what..I just can't sleep well..feeling thirsty all the time....
ah...like being poisoned or something..
all those things combined made me the witch and snow white at the same time.

okey dokey! Have to get dressed for school now.

Until next time : )

Valentine's day special : Jill Stuart Valentine Nail Lacquer

Drawn on Feb 12, 2011


Okay, I admit it, I am a BIG FAN of Jill Stuart, for daily wear, and make up as well.
But for design skills and manipulations of fabrics I have got other favorite designers,
Which I would like to talk about later on.
Anyway, Jill Stuart Beauty got a Valentine’s Day special gift packages,
Those Petit Nail Lacquers are Very Cute, Very adorable isn't it?

Today I feel much better although the problem is still here,
I am going to recover very soon I believe~
I will draw one more illustration for Valentine's day...chocolate this time,
Why am I so enthusiastic about Valentine's day?
It's all about the colour combination,
we seldom use a lot of reddish tone together normally,
but in valentine's day,
we can match pink with red and lavender,
surrounded everyone in the mood of love.....
pinky pinky : )

 
Happy Valentine's Day!

Longing for a Valentine

I always love those heart shaped ballons and the I love drawing the shinny surface of them.
love love so light,
love love so heavy.



I am here waiting.

Inspirations and Affections 2 - Mucha

As promised , today I am going to talk about another artist which I
appreciates and brought me influences.

He is Alphonse Maria Mucha (1860-1939).
Usually Known as Mucha.
He is a Czech artist, one of the artists that best represent Art Nouveau style.
I was lucky enough to came across his masterpeices during my trip to Barcelona,
I have seen his works a thousand times in books but not very impressed until I saw the real ones.
His delicate brush strokes and the arrangements of flowers and plants in the background inspires me a  lot.
The drapery dress worn by the women made every single one of them like a Greek Goddess.
Again, in his paintings, the colour tone is always warm and pastel,
books and internet images always have the problem of colour difference,
The colour goes harmoically with the canvas in his masterpieces.



Reverie (1897)
Retrived from Art Renewal Center(artrenewal.org)


The foilage, the flower arrangements, the tender smile...very pretty is it?
His paintings are rather 'flat' when compared to other artists,
very poster like, ofcourse, they are intially used as posters back at that time.
He had even draw advertistments for Moët & Chandon, yes, the well known champagne house.
Including the Moët & Chandon White Star and Dry Imperial.

Moët & Chandon: Chamoagne White Star (1899)
Although I don't drink at all, I would love to purchase this back in his times....

And he always draw Lilies in his paintings,which made me love them even more,
due to the fact that Lilian is dereived from Lily and is the symbol of innocence, beauty and purity...
names often have beautiful meanings,
and it is up to us to lift ourself to those expectations.

Spring of 'The Seasons' ( 1896)

Valentino

Drawn on 19th Jan, 2011

Finally the whole picture.
Initially this drawing was supposed to use for some special purpose..
but then something happened so I will just leave it to another opportunity~
The dress is from Valentino Resort 2010,
and the concept of the drawing is falling apart beautifully...
something I encountered earlier...
though the past is past : )

Later on I will talk about another painter which had influence on me,
not that I intended to imitate the style but the delicacy of his paintings
do inspire me a lot.

Chanel Rouge Coco



I watched this video yesterday, it's so amazing~
and I got inspired to draw this today....


Drawn on Feb 2nd, 2011

The concept is that wearing Rouge Coco made you so hot , so hot...it melts : )
It's so much fun to draw the texture of lipsticks~
And I always think for a girl.....whether you use it or not...
it's always necessary to put a lipstick in your purse..
Applying lipstick is an act that made me feel more confidence and more like a girl..
That's why I think being a girl is the most wonderful thing in the world...
and being a men that brings a girl happiness is even more wonderful,
Love Love Love, that's why Love is so beautiful~

There is even an effect called the Lipstick Effect,
which is during economic crisis , people are more willing to buy expensive lipsticks ; )
very funny~
Happy Chinese New Year Everyone~~
