Untitled

Since I didn't feel good about my personal problems, I started painting it quickly. Painting / Drawing is so good to reduce my bad feelings, aye? I was so lazy to create it spontaneously, like scribble, splatter, wash, etc.

" Untitled "
Acrylic, Ink, Colored Pencil on Paper
( I can't remember what this measures. I think it could be 6" x 9" inches. )

I gave this painting to my very good friend / Filipino artist Patrick Astilla for his belated birthday. Belated happy birthday Pat, sorry for my late gift! Check his artworks out, they are quite cool and great!


Apart from that, I'm quite excited and happy to make my first 3D Babu sculpture on wood, yipee! This will be for the 2012 group show. Sorry, I didn't videotape it because I kept concentrating on it for long hours so I needed to improve my sculpting skills. Maybe next time, I'll try to videotape when I'll make a full figure of Babu and Abu. Ahh, I love sculpting! I already bought more new sculpting tools from Ebay. Can't wait to receive them.

Recently, I can't wait to start creating my new commissioned piece for my client Mike! And also, I'll be busier with other stuff. Anyway, how are you all doing? :)

Lovely! I think I like this even more than your color work (well I have always been a sucker for black and white) though it gives insight into what I like so much about your color pieces. Is this watercolor or inks? And how did you get the fine white line?

Mall said...

thanks megan! Me too, I really love sepia more than colored work. When I don't feel good, I love to do dark stuff. It's acrylic, ink, pencil & colored pencil on watercolor paper. About fine white line, I used white colored pencil. :)

That's wherethe some of my most interesting work in high school came from... would never have ended up an artist without 10 years of depression! I hope you are in better spirits soon, even if it does produce such beautiful results.

I've discovered your work via Nucleus Gallery, I really like your style, so detailed, fresh, sweet and colorful at the same time ; your acrylic technic is amazing !
I'm curious to know what kind of white acrylic do you use to get the real white color in your illustration ? I guess that this kind of paper maybe helps a bit ?
Thanks a lot for sharing your process by the way :)
All the best,
veronique.

@veronique: bonjour! :) I also discovered your work via Gallery Nucleus "Momentum" before! I really dig on your style especially drawings :) Aww, thanks for enjoying my art, much appreciated! It's nicer to meet you! I used Golden Titanium White (and yes,I also used white colored pencil). :D Regarding the paper, I used Arches watercolor paper.
