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!

Today sketches..One of the blogger friend's asked me long time ago to draw a Moo Moo reading newspaper, here goes, sorry it takes so long. I will color it later for her, OK Mama-Bok?

My husband think I have improved my drawing time, but he asked how come he never in my drawing?? Yar.. I guess he is right... I better include him... hmm. I can't draw men... he doesn't look mature, but he look rather young and funny, and that's not quite him though! LOL...Above drawing done a while ago, special wishes to a blogger friend's - E.T.
The above pictures were drawn in my Facebook Graffiti wall..

15/21 days exercise.

When I draw this, I have hard time to think how to draw the bike properly, where to put the pedal, how much body length .. .. It look ok in sketch without detail on the bike, but when come to color, will be a challenge..
Below is my boy art-work. Fish Tank..
He still do the 21 days exercise, but this week, he got lot of school work and review to do, so, he is tired sitting down too long..I also drew this illo today (previous post posted full illo) after reading , hearing news everywhere since Tuesday, our prayer goes to the Country..

.

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.......

10/21 days exercise - Tea Cups Bubble 士多啤莉甜品

Today exercise.. Tea cup Bubble.. I love tea cups, and I drew this, where my boy love playing animals stuffs during his bath time. I will post some of my favorite tea cup with added drawings later..P/S: Flowers & bubble added in Photoshop.
我很喜歡西式或可愛的茶杯，有機會我會post我的之愛杯子和畫上插畫共同欣賞欣賞。

My boy class-mate's an Italian sweet girl (only 6years old )brought delicious looking strawberry for snack, I asked her what's in it? she show me how to make it, by adding Balsamic Vinegar, lemon juice and sugar, it taste good! I make it for dinner last night, I added little chef in my De-li-cioussssssss pictures.

Enjoy!

見到仔仔的同班同學帶的snack，是這六歲小女孩教我弄的，味道很好！
原本她只說加義大利陳醋，檸檬汁和糖的士多啤莉甜品.，可是我把它改良做比較適合中華式，所以我再加少許生抽，而我不用糖和檸檬汁但加橙汁，因為當今的橙多汁又甜呀，不過老伴就說久久吃還可以，可是我喜歡!

Day 9/21 My first attemp-water color

I did most of my coloring in Photoshop, but I love to learn to paint with water color, I admire how people can paint especially water color, I always want to learn yet never really act on it.Everything always have it first time, now I want to start practice painting with water color and by practicing more, I hope I will gain experiences and improve the coloring skills. This exercise really push me to do what I have put off for long time..I don't think I colored this one good, (sketched and color last night) I have no clue how to control the paints, how much to mix and not knowing whether I use the right techniques? I simply bought some water color and water color paper and start blur. However, now I have a tutoring water color book, I will practice with it. (I will color this is Photoshop too, to compare with this) Feel me to comment and love to hear what I should do as a beginner.
通常我都是用Photoshop塗顏色，很少用水彩顏色上色，主要我不懂！但是很喜歡水彩畫，很羡慕懂的用水彩顏色劃畫，我之前自學的作品也不敢登上因為塗的很差!! :( 所以停了，不過参加了blog world這个21天的計劃，我要再試一試。有待進步. 多多指教!For my boy, I bought "Stone painting" books in second hand store a while ago (love shop in second hand store to search for goodies), we were doing this Stones painting on the weekend, here is one of the stone's he painted (with some help). 仔仔是獨生兒，在家時除了他爸爸我二姐三姐表姐陪他玩，其余的時候吵很悶，看电視和玩電惱game的時间很strict ，那我会找一些craft給他做，今次是看到表姐在家的stone painting craft, 我又在二手店買到這本塗石頭手藝書，再到外面找石頭回來洗乾清，給仔仔慢慢塗..他的控制手工還沒steady,到最後我捉他手塗一些地方，很快就完成啦!Added some background in the pictures to spice it up! ...

Today sketch........ wanna join 15 minutes exercise, click here for detail..."Off You Go!"

My boy being naughty yesterday, we ground him no computer game for 5 days, he was angry with us, and he drew this for me. He reversed the rule, it's us that are grounded and no computer, put a cross on us and him with check mark! After his dad had little talk with him, he is sorry. Apparently he needs to get his anger out by drawing this.
