Day 20 exercise

Below illustration were drew in my Facebook graffiti wall today. Two entry for latest Graffiti topics.

BeesStick man.

Do you draw on your Facebook graffiti wall?

The tool is very limited in Facebook Graffiti Wall, yet there are so many fantastic drawings done by greatest Facebook artist with just simple way to draw. I have trouble in the beginning, where I got so use to Photoshop, like layers, color selection, brushes, pattern and many many more to help me draw to compare with Facebook graffiti program.
The Graffiti wall have only one type of brush, can be resize different point size, some colors selection and adjust opacity, that's all the tool to draw!
However, I slowly got use to it as it's like going back the old way of drawing, I really enjoy it, because it's more challenging!

Day13 exercise and a lovely mother's day gift.

Day 13/21
I try to draw proper posture, at least the hands and the legs and in right proposition, but it's very difficult to keep them perfect at all time, spend lots of time too..While I drew the above illo, I felt quite emotional, I wish I have wings and fly up high search the key to an answer......
Last week, our emotional is making us weak to make a decisions, we need conscious.. we may have it now..maybe.. I drew this without proper posture, just straight hand and leg, I find it's easier to finished a drawing like this...
Mother's Day Gift from my boy
My boy make this bookmark for me in his Kindergarten class last week, he only let me open it yesterday (for mother's day gift on mother's day!). I almost cry when I read what he wrote, only because he wrote it with a bit help on the spelling from the teacher (he said so, I still wonder.. :P ). I cried because 8 months ago, he can't even write his name right, now, he can spell and write in full sentences.......
