Inktober #3

Inktober #2

I decided to use the same bunny from the first Inktober :)

Inktober #1

This is my first "inktober" :)

The rules are as follows:

1) Make a drawing in ink (you can do a pencil under-drawing if you want).

2) Post it on tumblr (or Instagram, twitter, facebook, flickr, Pinterest or just pin it on your wall.)

3) Hashtag it with #inktober

4) Repeat (you can do it daily, like me, or go the half-marathon route and post every other day, or just do the 5K and post once a week. What ever you decide, just be consistent with it. INKtober is about growing and improving and forming positive habits, so the more you’re consistent the better.)

I don't know how often I will participate, but it's a fun challenge, and I certainly enjoyed drawing this one :)

Best Friends Forever

I shared a sneak peek of my personal project in the previous post, and I can finally share the completed work here :)

It was a wedding gift for my best friend, who I've been buddies for 20 years!

I made her a children's book about us and how we will always be together no matter where we are. I also made the book into a video, and would like to share it with you :)

It's in Japanese so some of you might not understand what it says, but hopefully can get the feel of my message through the images!

Sneak peek of my personal project

I've been working on my personal project for my best friend :)

It's going to be a surprise so I can't show the whole thing yet (plus it's still WIP) but I wanted to share a little bit!

Happy Father's Day!

To all the fathers :)

"Hopes and Fears" by KEANE

I recently took a Skillshare class where you get to create your own album cover.
I chose "Hopes and Fears" by the British band, KEANE. I got some inspiration from their music videos, and here's my take.

 

















It was a fun project and a good illustration exercise :)

Happy Mother's Day!

To all the mothers :)

American Museum of Natural History

Went to American Museum of Natural History and got some sketches done :)
These are great resources and I love sketching especially the animals I don't really get to see so close, but I can't help feeling a little weird people taking pictures of these dead animals... :/
Nonetheless, it's one of my favorite places to sketch!

Girl Sketches

 Here are some girl character designs I did :)

Illustration Friday - Wild

 My take on this week's Illustration Friday "Wild" :)

A New Profile Image

I finally updated my profile image with some colors (it used to be just a pencil drawing) :)

Audrey Hepburn

I saw "Roman Holiday" the other day and just had to draw Audrey Hepburn! She is BEA-Utiful!!

Loud!

Wow a first post this year... and it's almost April :/ Didn't realize I was absent for that long.. Well here's finally a little something: Another singing bird (like my last post!) but wasn't intentional! I must love singing birds then :) I drew this based on a word "loud".
Hope you enjoy :)

Happy Holidays!

Happy Holidays everyone!

Illustration Friday -Lost

Sometimes you feel so lost it's like you're floating in the ocean not knowing where you're headed.. but with a swim ring you'll always find a way :)

Sky & Clouds Study

Here's a little study. 
I love looking at sky & clouds.
They have so much character.
How many times a day do you look up the sky?

IF —Secret

Mr. Lion's secret to power is meditation.
It's not easy leading the pride of lions..!


On a different note, the kickstarter project (an online art school) I mentioned in the previous post has reached the goal!
Thanks to everybody who supported the project!

We're excited about moving forward with the Fundamental Drawing Course. 
We still have 3 days left, so spread the word! Those who support the project can get an early discounted subscription to the drawing course and future courses at Wigolia. Thanks again for helping us make it happen!

Wigolia -Kickstarter Project-

My partner has just launched a project on Kickstarter!
It's an online school for any creative people!
To start off, he's going to create courses for fundamentals of drawing.

This is for a great cause, especially for people who want to study art but can't afford to go to art schools.
Please check out the video and support this project!
