New Illustrations, finally ^^

Something that kept me busy for a while

These sketches are really something for me. I am gradually learning how to render my lines into color.

These illustrations are  for an illustrated children's book competition. Probably, these pieces are my entry point as an illustrator for children's storybooks. Can't wait to do more of these.

Thanks for visiting. ^^

I used a picture of Barbara Palvin, http://www.pinterest.com/pin/384846730628973309/ to make this study. 

Run Forrest Run!

Everyone's excited to see tomorrow! Happy 2014!

Filling Up My Holidays

Sketch-O-Day #16

Hello guys. I have been spending my holidays in our house here in the province. I have been drooling for something to do for days now. Yet for the mean time, I have been utilizing my vacation watching movies, reading "how-to-read-people's-gesture (a random book I found in my sister's school stuff) and unlimited procrastination in the hammock just listening to the music and wondering what to do the next time I have my digital pen on hand. These are lazy things which have been making my day worthy. Being lazy, I should say, at least for me, is healthy for people of crafts and arts. It gives them time to think, reflect and plan out their next step. This will make room for inspiration and motivation. 

And in between my resting, I am able to hang out with my nephew. I suppose the best part of the day. But, my little friend here, should not be underestimated. He has made my ideas for "what-to-do" ran out. Plus, I have to answer limitless questions of why and why not!

Happy holidays everyone!

Sketch-O-Day #14 A Tough Ride

          The bus, bound to my province, would leave in half an hour. It was only one train-ride away. I was assuming the simplicity of the situation. But, the series of events had denied me of it.
         First, I had to endure the long wait in the line just to get the train tickets.That was level one difficulty. Second, I had to strengthen myself for a man was desperately shouting that he was robbed and the suspect was running away. My knees was trembling and I was not in any way ready for action. My bag was heavy on my back, not to mention I only had two and a half hours of sleep.  I had to fight my nervousness so I cling tightly to my companion. That was level two. Then, level three. It was a wrong move to ride among men! I thought I was lucky to avoid being pushed and hit by aggressive women on the other line. But, then I was wrong. I forgot that in men's section , it was a lot worse. Yes, men don't squeezed each other nor you could see them bumping their bodies with another. The sad part was that men don't need to fight over. They simply had to strengthen and flexed their muscles like creating an armor around themselves to avoid being crushed. That left me, defenseless. I was the weakest being on that section. I was bumping and being squeezed into their tight offense. I would survive though, if only I was a few more distance from the guy who smelled like sweat dried and tendered by the sun. I hold on tightly to my companion. And tried not to breathe. My clothes was wet from the mixture of my own perspiration and who knows who. I tried to bear with it. It was two more station before I reached my destination. By the last station, the train became looser but, I had to stepped out then. 

       I raced towards the terminal. I was a minute away before my departure. Level four. I was unfortunately reserved on a bus which happens to be either non-existent or suspended. I failed to confirm. Everything from then on became blurry to my senses. I could have engaged into a heated discussion but I won't and I can't. It was already tough for me. So, I decided to quietly go home and to get a enough sleep. I rescheduled my trip for the next two weeks to come. And I probably will work on with some muscles for the next tough ride on the train! 

I thank the person who fought beside me XD

This is one of my most memorable ride on the train because it was literally, a bone-crashing experience. I hope you like my illustration!
