Nostalgia

Here's an excerpt from "Nostalgia", a comic inspired by a narrative that my O Level English tuition teacher wrote :)

*****

"The decoupage of old theatre and advertising posters masked its familiar russet brick walls. A blackboard stood by its entrance, with house specialties ranging from authentic Auvergne sausage with potato and cheese puree to ravioli with basil butter, bearing every tell-tale sign that Bistro Augustins no longer existed."

*****

Paris, France – a quaint city with picturesque scenery rich in remarkable culture and history. Here, 52-year-old Angelika Abendroth, a former cabaret dancer in the 1970s, returns to the place she had held so dear during the height of her glamourous career and fame. However, her Paris was no more; ruthlessly replaced by the sights and sounds that marred the beauty of her treasured past.

Mysterious Ruins

Just a drawing that I did quite a while ago... On a journey to worlds unknown :)

Gluttony: coursework appetiser

Hey, this is just a colour pencil drawing of some cupcakes. :) I intend to include it in my A Level coursework, titled Sinful. In my coursework, I will be exploring the seven cardinal sins of man. (Hope my teacher accepts my ideas.)

Memories from Wonderland

Here, I've done some drawings that were inspired by Coliandre's French version of Alice in Wonderland :) The first one was done in pen and colour pencils and the second was simply a photoshopped version of the first.

THE MIRACLE ROBOT "ココロ (KOKORO) Rin and Len"

Hey guys :), I just found this really touching anime music video (watch it). But I'm not really that into anime/manga anymore... Just saying.

Awesome... Now the song is stuck in my head lol... Anyway, here I've tried to draw Rin, the Robot. Done in pencil.

And then, when I got bored in school, I drew this in my doodle book... Done in black ballpoint pen and coloured with highlighters.

That is what happens when you get bored, especially in school :)

Twisted Tinkerbell!

I did this in my school doodle book before running it in Photoshop :) Inspired by this awesome graphic artist Jeffrey Thomas who has done a series of Twisted Disney Princesses from Snow White to Rapunzel :D

Impressions: Taylor Swift and Ke$ha!

O Level Art

Hey again :) I have recently gotten back my O Level results and scored an A1 for Art! (I was the only one in the entire school who scored A1 for it hahas) The rest of my subjects didn't do too badly as well, scoring me an aggregate of 11 points for my L1R5. After CCA deduction, I have 9 points (HOORAY). So, it's off to JC for me! St. Andrew's JC to be exact (well, at least that's what I put for my first choice). OK, so here's what I submitted for my Art O Level papers:

Paper 1 (papercut coursework):

Title: Flying Kites

And here's the final piece that's done after all those pages of prepwork and many months later (this is made entirely out of coloured paper):

Paper 2 (drawing exam):


Title: Street Performers

The final piece was done during the three-hour long exam in which no photography is allowed therefore it cannot be shown :(

Birth of RE(draw)

Hi :) RE(draw) is my first blog and it will sorta be dedicated to uploads of my artworks and occasional drawings that I do in my free time. This post will be the official kick-start for RE(draw) in 2011. Enjoy :D
