Weekend Watercolor Painting

 

 

Little Boy in the Swing

Hello everyone!

I wanted to share to all how special this illustration to me.

I was really challenged in using watercolor as a medium. I had to push myself because I wanted this done. I promised myself that I would do an illustration for the little girl who got accidentally hit with the iron swing on the back of her head!

She randomly ran below me when I was swaying the swing high.  I had to instantly jump off the swing on mid-air.  I thought I might had cracked her skull or anything.  I panicked for a sec. I could clearly recall her tearful agony. I could survive  her mother's deep blaming stare but not of those helpless child's look. I was really sorry even I did not mean to.

Wheew! So, there it goes. I had to, definitely, do one illustration for that experience.

Despite that, I had to decided to use a little boy in the illustration because I used a little boy's photo as a reference. I thank my friend for that photo which he took on that day. XD

Here's an image of my painting. I hope you like it! Thanks for visiting again.

 

I was so much dedicated to this illustration. I did many version of it. I did 2 pencil studies before I got to step on the watercoloring stage. Then, after I finished my painting. I decided to ink one of the sketches I did. XD

Here it is: 

Little Boy on the Swing, Lines and Ink version.

There's nothing much happening in this sketch, but I just thought about the best memories of every children. One of those, perhaps, was a simple stroll with a pet at the park or somewhere nice. ^^

#1 On the Spot: Sketch-O-Day

        Hey guys! Here are some of the sketches that I did last week, August 31- September 1, 2013, for the Art Mart at Bonifacio Global Center.

       I was very fortunate and privilege to have been invited by my colleagues who are great artists themselves. I never expected that I could make all these sketches. Though I was challenged to work at fast pacing, I did enjoy the whole experience because I got to meet many people and most especially, I learned so much. Well, as an artist I realized that the fulfillment is found only when you share your work and be exposed. So the next event I'll work harder! Unexpected things never stop chasing me, and that's a good sign for me.

     I want to promote our group, the Artery. Please visit our page, https://www.facebook.com/artery.ph and meet our team! We have many things to share with you. 

        Thanks!

Meet Moccasin. Believe it or not but my first client was a rabbit!

Cool Couple

Friends. It took me ten minutes to get this sketching.. so they had to remain post for that whole duration.

Someone's girlfriend. A guy who made me drew his 'yaya'.. Who would make their yaya's photo as wallpaper of their ipod? :D

A Husband and Wife celebrating their anniversary. She's in her early trimester but she asked me to make her belly more obvious...

Jillian. The little girl on a stroller. She was very enthusiastic.

A Mother and a Daughter.

The Triplets. The most interesting sketch I did. The babies came riding their strollers that connected from each other-almost like a train.

Happy Moment. 

 

Drawing drawing drawing..

An intimate couple. 

#12 Sketch-O-Day

 I went out today and soaked my feet in the flood. I have to pull all the courage to get myself into the water. Lucky, I was with my other friends whom I shared the unforgettable and spontaneous experience.

Adventure Is Out There.

Homeless Kitten

The homeless cat by the escalator. ~My heart melted when I saw the kitten unmindful of the heavy rain and the people passing by.

#11 Sketch-O-Day

       It's been two weeks since I had posted here. I have been busy with a lot of happy unexpected things. Even the rain gave me colds and a lot of sneezing, I cannot help but to love it still. Rain gives a nostalgic feeling and brings me to many happy childhood memories. Like, me and my friends spent time playing football and "Patintero", a known Filipino traditional game. We also went out for adventures under the rain. During those days, we did not care catching fever afterwards because it we had fun.  In our family, rainy seasons were the best time to go randomly to the beach just to  enjoy the cool breeze.And now, I like recalling them.

      Today, I am still that child who wants to play football. I feel like going out the streets for some spontaneous adventures . And probably, I will get my feet feel the cold water.

         I wonder what movie perfectly matches my mood.. Oh well, I'll be watching one this afternoon. :)

Thanks for the visit again.

Sunday Rain is Falling

A Lion and A Boy

Basically, the message of my sketch is the complacent silence between individuals no matter how dangerous or vulnerable the other one is--even a predator and its supposedly prey, such the case in my illustration.  The boy does not need to end being the lion's meal nor the lion becomes the boy's safe den against other wild animals.  Just for that moment, the lion and the boy both need to coexist in the same turf, if they want to benefit both in warmth of the fire. 

A Furry Tail

This illustration was inspired by the Studio Ghibli's, "Princess Mononoke" animated movie. An idea came to me yesterday, when I saw an image of a red fox. Foxes' have these impression of being mystical and enchanting. They are known to be sly and tricky.  But what if a fox such as huge as this one can be tamed and be loyal to someone-let's say a girl named, Harrieth, a girl from a nearby tribe. A story can begin even from a small idea such as this. I can't wait to see this colored someday. 

So, I spent my spare hours at the office working on this sketch. :D 

Chimney

An enchanted girl, Chimney jumped around the vast forest with a magical staff. That's how far I know about her. I hope to do a detailed yet brief background story for Chimney later. 

I started roughing in the details here in the image on the left. Then, I cleaned up the line, on the right. I look forward in rendering this illustration in full color but, I am taking slow in figuring out the style. I am in the process of learning how to play with colors and values. 

I hope sooooon : D Thanks guys! 

#10 Sketch-O-Day

Laundry and Mike's Bathing Time. I imagined washing my stuffed pillow--Mike Wazowski, struggling as I soak it in the pail.
