What is reality?

Drawn on 31st Oct 2012

The amazing Anne Hathaway as White Queen.

She is always amazingly exquisite and charming.

What I want to say today is :

My drawing do not carry any story, any emotion,

until you give it some.

It is the relationship of art and human beings,

it's about the communication of what you perceive.

From art, we can always get a clearer image of our inner heart.

What is reality?

Reality is what you believed in.

It is the reflection of your mind.

If your heart is pure and beautiful, 

so is the reality.

If your heart is dark and evil,

so is the reality.

Give yourself a better world,

by living with a beautiful mind.

Ricci Ricci Dancing Ribbon by Nina Ricci

Drawn on 29th Oct 2012

Ricci Ricci Dancing Ribbon.

A very beautifully presented Eau de Parfum.

Today I won't be talking a lot about the scent.

Sure it smell nice and sweet,

with Toffee apple, vanilla infusions and peony petals,

so sensual and seducing.

But,

today i am gonna focus on :

How does it feel like to be torn apart?

Like my blood vessels being torn and they are all bleeding.

That's what heart broken feels like.

What if...

you believed in all those beautifully presented lies?

and they are the cover of all those ugly moves,

horrid conversations and wicked relationships.

Keep pulling pulling...

I am broken.

You happy now?

You both happy now?

But I am going to survive in this bloody shower.

Because I live with my pure heart,

while evil stays in those parties.

Thank God for the qualities I have.

Pureness is always in me.

At least, I am true to myself.

Tell me how to fix a broken heart?

when the one you trust the most are lying all the time?

Thanks for the lesson.

Flight for our dreams

Drawn on 24th Oct, 2012

Life is like a game that hold our neck tightly,

But even so,

we need to cope with it beautifully.

Featuring Emma Stone,

her innocent eyes and facial expression always seduces me.

And drawing Bokeh,

one of my very favorite element, that make the composition dreamy.

Life is difficult,

But with dreams and determination,

it could be as beautiful as a blooming rose.

Let's fight for our dreams together.

Valentina Assoluto

Drawn on 21 Sept 2012

Valentina Assoluto

Valentina, 

Such a beautiful name.

It's one of the perfume that I wears occasionally besides Paul Smith Rose,

And now it had a new version : Valentina Assoluto.

The sensual note of Tuberose , Jasmine and mix of irrelevant flowers is very seducing.

" With attitude, sophistication and unexpected characteristics "

Well, I do have unexpected charateristics,

if you have chance to get to know me any better.

I really will surprise you.

Nail Lacquer is something that I always always buy 

and I can never get enough of those beautiful shades.

And I was imagining if any of the nail lacquer have a bottle like this,

I would have die for it.

Okay, the perfume collection is nearly done,

with two more drawings, 

I will call it the day.

Any suggestions?

Emma Stone : Tear

Drawn on 13 Aug 2012

A picture speaks a thousand word.

Such a long night such a long day.

Such a long suffering.

I won't cry;

instead, I distress myself by drawing the very lovely Emma Stone,

with a drop of crystal clear tear hanging on her innocent eye.

I can only find peace in Art.

And it speaks for me.

Paul Smith Rose

Drawn on 10 Aug 2012

According to the official note,

''the living flower is isolated in a glass bell and equipment ‘inhales’ the scent.''

No wonder why the scent is so refreshing.

It's the one and only Eau de Parfum I never get bored of,

the scent is truly like me.

Fresh with a tint of sweetness.

Here, I drawn English roses, with magnolia and violet,

which are also the flower notes of the perfume.

I imagine it as a vase, containing all those lovely living flowers,

inhales and breathes.

The inspiration of this fragrance is that, Ms.Smith cultivated the rose for Sir Paul Smith

as his birthday gift,

a truly romantic start.

Dior Hypnotic Poison

Drawn on 9 Aug 2012

Another perfume from my childhood memory,

it is Hypnotic Poison from Dior.

It smells like Vanilla with a tint of seducing musk.

The shape looks exactly like an apple to me,

Poisonous one, like the one in Snow White.

Perfume is something very personal, 

the chemicals works differently on everyone, 

so even if we use the same scent, it induces distinct odor.

The name, Hypnotic, sounds a bit dangerous,

but to me, it seems to be dreamy and magical.

Hypnotic Poison,

like Snow White's beauty, hypnotically make everyone fall in love with her,

how lovely it would be, to have a skin as snow,

lips as rose,

and hair as ebony.

Black White And Red, classic tasteful color combination.

Sometimes I do think we human beings have different tones like a color story,

I will talk into it in details later : )

I do find when the color combination on us are harmonically pulled together,

we instantly looks amazingly attractive.

Chanel No.5

Drawn on 8 Aug 2012

I am planning to draw a series of perfume,

Starting from Chanel No. 5.

The very first perfume by our honored Ms. Gabrielle Chanel,

after 91 years, 

it still is the best selling perfume in the world.

Having Lily of the valley , rose , heart of jasmine, vanilla .etc as the notes,

the scent is irresistible.

But I am not indulging myself in this scent,

as it's the scent of my mother in my memory.

So I always admire the fragrance of it,

it represents classic, feminine and sexiness, 

well I guess I am still at the stage of young lady, so~

But one day,

I will find myself in this scent.

The color looks exactly like honey to me,

so, in my imagination.....it is how it looks like~

Irresistible.

And......it's very funny that my friend thought it's a photograph,

so I am gonna show you guys how I make it look realistic :

See~

So So So interesting is it~?

Lana Del Rey

Drawn on 3rd Aug 2012

Lana Del Rey 

I rarely like a singer that much.

From her voice to her fashion sense to her very classic hairdo.

 Lana Del Rey, 

such an elegant pronunciation.

Watching her Live performance made me feel that internal power she got,

the power and desire to be famous.

I once heard that there is no formula that guarantee being famous and recongized , 

All we have to do is try our best and be prepared.

Cause when the time comes,

We are going to Rise And Shine.

Until then,

Keep working hard.

Hard works do pays off.

Eternal Beauty

Drawn on 26 July, 2012

It had been a really long time.

Audrey Audrey, always the adjective of elegance, grace and charm.

" I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. 

I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. 

I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. 

I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls.

 I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles. "

-Audrey Hepburn.

There, we found the secret to eternal beauty :

Believing in beauty leads you to true beauty.

True beauty is beyond the eye, it's something intangible,

such as Love, strong wills and kindness. 

I can never get bored of flowers,

to me, they are beautiful creations that have content itself,

they are alive. 

Perfect match here : Audrey and Flowers.

The Red Sole

Drawn on 10th April, 2012

I passed by a pastel drawing artwork one day,

and I love the rough texture so so much.

With my digital drawing tablet,

drawings using different media can be easily done without purchasing new tools.

My drawing had always been so delicate and fine,

and I found that it is not always about the fine lines that brings the message and mood 

of elegance, it is the ability to observe the object itself , that shows elegance.

So here, my personal obsession of red mary-janes,

BANA PATENT 140 by Christian Louboutine, 

was drawn with photoshop dry media brushes,

that resembles soft pastel texture, on colored background,

which is a usual practice for pastel drawings.

Red is always seductive and glamour to me,

and red heels, making the skin tone looks fairer,

had always been my choice to enhance sexual appeal.

Such a perfect pair of heels.

Inhaling Rose

Drawn on 3rd April, 2012

Featuring Sweet Iris van Berne on Nylon Magazine, March 2012.

Her sweet plum lips pairs with orange eye shadows were so inspiring.

Using color pencil brush and water color brushes, 

( which are included in WACOM Intuos 5 pack)

I drawn this illustration with mix media approach.

It had always been kind of difficult for me to handle watercolor,

but doing it on computer is totally different,

I overcomed the uncontrollable factors 

( well , it's because that everything is under control!)

Most of the time I found those exciting splash of color fascinating on real paper,

however, not that everyone had that talent to communicate with watery media...

i.e. ME.

That is why, I still prefer to control them perfectly over my computer drawing tablet.

The air is so humid.

Spring is too short.

Blooming like flowers.

Inhaling fragrance.

Naughty and Nice

Drawn on 30th March, 2012

Haven't update for ages!

I had been busy designing my new collection,

which include 30 pieces of bridal and evening wear,

it kept me really really busy.

Using drawing tablet always give others the illusion 

of lacking of brush strokes and textures.

For me, I guess it all depends on the technique and use of different brushes.

So, I used brushes included in the CD with Intuos 5,

and create this pencil drawing-like illustration,

featuring Jessica Stam in Giambatista Valli Dress.

and Nina Ricci head piece

Very amazing isn't it?

Well, I hope I can update again very soon!

After all, it's drawing that calms me down and made

me rediscover the beauty in ordinary route.
