Draw at least once a week
One of my new year resolution is draw at least once a week and blog about it.
I recall back in graduate school in my animation class and illustration class, my teacher always wanted us to draw everyday and every time take 4 hours a day to draw in a class, no matter in studio drawing, sketching, marker pen, water color or computer drawing class. Once you stopped you just feel like can’t draw anymore, that is why it is in one of my new year resolution list, and I just have to draw again.
I told my teacher I want to focus on more character design and I think i just have to start focus on this part again as my drawing direction. I started to collect more human figure and style in Pinterest as my inspiration, until now after 2 weeks I’ve quite a good collection already to move forward.
Fantasy drawing
Fantasy drawing is one of my favorite drawing style where you can fully release the creativity to draw whatever kind of imagination on mind, there is tons of drawing technique online tutorial to learn. Since i am huge fans of Harry Potter, should force myself to draw more, at least one small drawing every single day with some creativity explaination could be fun!
Today drawing suppose to draw a creature which has three-eyed, while I search some inspiration online realized there is some article wrote about there-eyed lizard, it very rare called baby Tuatara and resemble a lizard has been found in Wellington, New Zealand [1].
I used that as a idea to start my drawing of the day, but once I listen to music and keep drawing till my drawing turned out like above, then I start to looked back old sketch in yellowish drawing book, I realized my drawing is mostly like fantasy creature, may be I should start to draw more according this direction except from logical research work and writing everyday. I think I really need to find my balance between design and art…
This is a old drawing of mine while i am missing life in UK.

Old work: Oil painting/Water Color drawing
Very old artwork back in my college times at 2001, we are required to draw something in the studio drawing class and send it to a contest related to color. First tried to use oil painting, the girl in the middle is myself trying to jump out to the frame, and a pair of hands trying to help me out. Using a double layer technique to stick on canvas and painted many layer to wait it dry. The black shadow outside is represented some villain around my desired world, even though I met someone who willing to pull me out but unexpected devil always surround you and trying to block your way to bright future.

My First 3D works
This week class we watched another 2 great animation and we have to start to create our very self representative 3D fish, we gonna make a simple fish shape with personality, that’s much better start to use a simple form and simple shape for the month of fish. 2 homework will need to delivery by next week.
My teacher want us to create a fish which is fully represented myself, I didn’t know how it should looks like, i suppose i always change from time to time, may be i could create a fish which is can represent 2009 me. While i am totally out of idea, i decided may be i could have some idea when i keep sketching, so i drew many different kind of fishes and hope i can meet my my MS.Right while i am sketching.
I guess i am done with it , here you go , my Ms. right!
It’s time to move on to virtual world and create something from Maya, the 3D maya fish model learning process , even tough is still in very first stage of artwork of modeling but it should able to give myself a little motivation to build everything up!
Then i moved to different color and material testing using Lambet.
I had done part of my fish model and can’t wait to do more on modification stage.
Assignment two is to use a ball with 2 boxes, and we can play with that with our imagination.
We learned 3D Body adjustment from the class and used the ugly blue man generi as our character to adjust it movement.
