2011-01-19T20:00:00.000-08:00

went to a free lifedrawing session after work :)
i dont think alot of people know about it so check it out here!

it was pretty fun drawing naked people once in awhile but it does get pretty redundant so i made them all rainbow colours ^____^ YAY

these are all ball point pen drawings without any underdrawings whatsoever.
im trying to do something new and different with dotted strokes and detailed renderings of body hair thats considered ugly to most general public. :) ugly is the new pretty?

ed.. at life drawing lol

water colour is fun =)

first time developing =) HOLGA 120fn

2008-04-03T16:14:00.001-07:00

these are taken with a lomography toy camera HOLGA 120 fn =)
first time developing all the pictures after the purchase in summer last year lol
totally forgot about it up until like 2 weeks ago.
the set i bought came with the 120 fn and a baby holga thats doesnt even look like a camera, more like a can opener (?).
the pictures came out really pretty =) the 2nd one was a coincident, i forgot to wind the film after taking a shot and it overlapped 2 shots in 1. pretty cool and its my favorite piece.

i was thinking to buy an SLR, but after seeing all these awesome and retro looking pictures, i thought that toy cameras are for me! XD

thinking to buy another one thats less big and uses a default 35mm film, cuz the developing cost is so expensive, and i cant find the film for it that easily.. and the Blacks i went couldnt even develop the pictures from baby holga and had to ship it over somewhere else o_O

gonna go ebay some more cool cameras haha

the street fighter thingy

2008-04-01T03:38:00.000-07:00

i was SO rushed to do this one o_O;;
thought out alot of compositions but didnt end up liking any of them.. and time was running short ):
did this in like less than 2 hours..

i tried doing another one after knowing that it wasnt actually due on monday 12 (thanks to LOL)
but didnt end up finishing it, this was like more rushed too ):
and it sucked more ): but i sent it to them anywayyy eww
the forehead was too big but didnt have time to fix it lol angela thought it was a chibi cuz of that ): yup.. that bad.

whateverrrr.. if i dont get it in the book, ill just sell it (only ibuki one haha) at AX.
OH!! im going to california!!!! YAAAAY
