30 Days 30 Sketches!!


"You can't do sketches enough. Sketch everything and keep your curiosity fresh." - John Singer Sargent.

You can't sketch enough. This is so true! It's quite strange how I sketch less and less since I work on art more and more. I started to think too much before dragging the pencil around on the paper.

Sometimes you might need to think less and let your hand move on the paper with your instinct.

I'm hoping this "30 Days 30 Sketches" will let me have more fun with sketching in this month!

Little Red Riding Hood


Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf pretending to be her grandma.

One of the All-time favourite fairytales that (most of) the girls should have heard about is "Little Red Riding Hood." or "Little Red Cap", written by Charles Perrault in late 1600s. What I like most about the story is how she couldn't tell that it's not her Grandma on the bed, but the Wolf. Even when she saw the teeth and the nose. I thought it was hilarious when I first hear it. Yes, it looks kinda... you know not very smart, but that's why it's cute and funny.

So, I captured this scene with Watercolour on a smooth surface (watercolour) paper, with a little touch of Coloured pencils :)
