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.

Merry Christmas 2011

Drawn on 16th Dec 2011

Merry Merry Christmas.

It had been a long time since my last drawing,

I had been busy in sewing beading and designing clothes instead of sitting

quietly in front of my computer and draw whatever I want to.

It feels really enjoyable to draw freely.

Again, it's Christmas time,

having all those delightful ornaments on the street,

following by those cheerful Christmas songs....

it feels like bouncing :)

Back to Basic

Drawn on 9th oct 2011

It's not that I do not draw recently,

It is quite contrary to that, I had been always drawing.

But due to the nature of the uses of those drawings, I cannot share them yet...

Anyway, this morning, I tried to work on those commercial drawings again,

but I just can't come up with anything.

So I decided to go back to the basic.

I interpret the look book of twenty by twenty, inspired by the nice colour combination

and the simple beauty in it, I keep the strokes of pastel, my favorite drawing media, instead of blurring them and blending them.

Sometimes it's the imperfection that makes the perfect.

While in most other drawings I enthuse on the delicacy and precision, this time I remind myself of the reason why

I love to draw, it is the power of creation,

which is simple, basic and fundamental.

well I was wondering do anyone really read between the lines I wrote?

maybe everytime I just type beeleebalabuleebeeleee and still no one sees it...haha...

anyway, I understand it.

Picasso once said, “I used to draw like Raphael,

but it has taken me a whole lifetime to learn to draw like a child.”

It is not that I am anything when compared with him,

but it is essential to find the core meaning and motivation in the path of creation.

While getting hold onto rules, we constrain ourselves.

We forgot the core value and the simple of happiness.

Laid back and listen to your heart.

It is always more than meets the eye.

Deep down the surface,

we can discover the real beauty.

I Got invited to draw for a magazine : )

please enjoy~

Sexy Wet Hair!

Headphone with flowers : )

I gotta make one for myself~

I like animals with pearl necklace,

so Classy and cute!

and I love that fluffy feeling : )

It's easy to get lost...

but it's about us...

to stand strong.

and always, believe in what we believed in.

I always believe that I have the responsibility to show others what's going on

in my mind. Not everyone have those inspirations,

And if we do, it's our responsibility to show that beauty to the world.

It is that belief that motivates me, and keeps me from giving up when I encounter obstacles.

From NObody to SOMEbody.

That’s the fun thing about life,

No?

Cloudy Angelic

Drawn on 13rd July,2011

This time I tried a light approach,

with the brush strokes lighter, finer and longer.

Like the clouds, the fog.

Clouds are actually frozen ice crystals.

With the theme of cloudy angelic,

I drawn gems to bring up the crystal clear mood :)

It was really fun to draw gems…after adding the deepest colour and reflections,

They almost seem sparkling to me!

Well I guess I was a bit dizzy (probably drawing for too long…)

so the sparkling effects were still here until now…

Sparkle Sparkle, Bling Bling!
