Pineapple Girl
I have recently finished directing an intense animation project(I will update as soon as it's officially released), and got some free time to go back to Fruit Dress series. Looking outside the grey rainy day, I need something colour and cheerful. What can be better than a PINEAPPLE?
So here we go :)

Kiwi girl
Continuing my "Fruit dress" series, I drew this one using watercolour on hot pressed watercolour paper(a smooth surface). Really love the richness of texture, but it can be a limitation on detailing, but again I guess I will need to practice a bit more!
Overall, I enjoyed the process of creating this Kiwi dress girl :)

"Childhood"
Recently I have been doing drawing classes/workshops at a Primary school, it's challenging and rewarding at the same time. I love their drawings so much! What a bench of talents they are! I plan to make a collage poster of Victorian Toys based on the outcome from the classes. Here are some Work in progress:

Edeline and Father
I'm working on refining the characters of Shoe (picture book) these days, really had fun working on sketches and watercolour.
Using marker pen to block out silhouette and you can get the general shape, posture, and feeling come across quickly, then pencil sketch on top of it, define more details:

Starry night on the mountain in Norway
2005, when I was taking my Animation Bachelor Degree in Norway, I took an optional course -outdoor life. In one of the trips that took place in the course, we had one self camping night with smaller group of 3 person.
My group had chosen a spot next to a stream and under a huge pine tree. Night sat in early when you are in Nature, about 8 o'clock I remember. I was lying in my sleeping bag, all tacked and ready to sleep however it was way too early a bed time for all of us. This one middle age Norwegian woman from a tiny little village (about 5-10 residents) in my group then started to sing a traditional Norwegian lullaby. It was beautiful and surreal, whilst I was staring at the stars through the tree branches.
One of these nights I will never ever forget about. And here I'm trying to capture the feeling.

Summery girl
I was quite a boyish girl during my teens and early twenties, it's a privilege to be young, sunshine and energetic! And of course, I was wearing Converse shoes(or similar kind) everywhere!
Was sorting my old sketches and found one that described this feeling pretty well, so I made this one based on that sketch.
And let's hope summer is finally near us!

Shoe - Watercolour test
So officially or not, I'm working on Shoe illustration book.
Trying out a watercolour look for Shoe Character, I also give her a name now -Edeline, which is an old fashioned English girls name which means noble or kind.
After a few test with photoshop, watercolour on paper, I'm most pleased with this one. Still looking into a work flow to work with pencil sketch, watercolour, photoshop etc. for the actual illustration work. Next step will be a test on Background.

Snow London 1905
It was 1905, in the great city of London,
cold winds blowing,
snow is falling, from sky above.

Oh My Days
Having read Daniel Clowes's "Ghost World" recently, I was inspired to re-work on an old project from 2010 Summer -"Oh My Days"(Directed by Netia Johns), which I had to design some comic style illustrations based on the Singer and Actor of the show.
Here it's a newer version I just made today.
Here it's one of the older version from 2010.
