‘Bliss in Ulysses’

First sketch of the year on my first sketchbook of the year, Ms. Molly.
A New Year… A New Sketchbook

Ideas, I mean good ideas, please start flowing to my brain;

Ulysses by the way is my favorite butterfly specie; ocean blue colored and just so darn pretty-ful when reflecting under sunlight.

Done with an old retractable Pilot ball pen I found on my sister’s desk.

I hope it adds a little bliss to your day too.

Entitled, “Color Me Yemeni”, Oil on Canvas ’06
This is the traditional look of original Yemenis
I enjoyed studying the allure and mysteriousness of these traditional Arab women.
One brush size was used throughout the painting hence the unnecessary dilated effect.

We all have a violent streak flowing in our veins, not unless one of us have literally lived a fairytale life, but then again living a fairytale life is so buggers that one would prolly go on a killing spree or sumthin.
Charcoal sketch on scratch paper. Moleskines to arrive next week, I can’t wait to get started!

“Rudolph In My Room” A Christmas card drawing on Oslo Paper.
I decided to create personalized Christmas cards for my loved ones for this year.
Hopefully I can upload all the ones I’ve done.
I used Faber Castell Watercolor Pencils and A Winnie-The-Pooh mechanical pencil.
I wonder if Christmas lights count as glass? I know that there are also some made from plastic so yeah, lol.

Just finished drawing, no title yet.
A sketch I have been working on for the past two days, it all started with a hesitant pair of wings I drew first. I then wanted to attach it to a subject that attracted me.
Done on an ordinary A4 with an HB Faber Castell pencil and fingers for the smudge effect which was poorly handled.

Entitled “To My Baby Sister (’07)”, oil on canvas.
I just recently finished up my Moleskine and so till I can buy a new one, I thought of uploading other works I have done till now.
Seals, just cause they’re too darn adorable.
Made it for my baby sister.

Self Portrait entitled, “Good Hair Day”
I had no more real materials left but an A4 paper, a Mongol #2 pencil, a rustic dusty charcoal pencil and the usual- my fingers for the smudge effect!
I was so happy with my hair this day that instead of the usual- take a photo I went for the ol’ sketch myself, haha.

Last page of my old Moleskine entitled, “Bridge Over Water”
There’s comething about light reflecting over water that makes me happy.
Done with Faber Castell Watercolor Pencils and brush.

Second to the last page of my old Moleskine, entitled “Brigitte Caught Them”.
Reminds me of a simple spring wedding and the silly feeling of victory after catching the bouquet. Done with Faber Castell Watercolor Pencils and brush.
