Hello Ellie

I miss her pretty face...

____________
Work has been so busy that I hardly have any energy left to draw for fun when I returned home at night... This makes me sad but there's nothing I could do about it at the moment... But if only I could have Saturdays off, if only...

Drawing Animals

Some zoo animals.

Fantastic Creatures

I went to the "Fantastic Creatures" exhibition at the HK Museum of Art on Saturday, and I spent about an hour sketching different exhibiting items. I personally think the Greek and Japanese ones were the most aesthetic and well-crafted (which explains why my sketches were either of the Greek/ Japanese...lol). And at the end of the show there was a little game in which you could create your own fantastic creature (or play it online).





After thought:
It had been a long while since I last visited an art exhibition and I must say this visit was a very refreshing one for me. Although I was mostly copying what was in front of me, the mere act of drawing still brought joy to me. And then there was an elementary school boy who walked by and saw my drawings, and he said to his dad: "Wow, she draws so well!" This, for me, was a huge & precious compliment because HK people (or all traditional Chinese) are generally very conservative with verbal praises--even if they complimented you, it'd be questionably genuine... But the fact that this compliment came from a kid and not an adult, I knew it must be a real one. :)

Looking forward to the next art exhibition visit!

Church Banners

Our church needed some new banners for both inside and outside of the building, but this time I was so privileged to have two other amazing graphic designers--Melanie Islip and Sophie Li--to be part of the brainstorming session. It was a very cool collaboration. You girls rock! ;)
