Animal print

Another homework for illustrations: animal prints. It s easier to draw the animal prints with pencils. But when I tried to use markers, the result is less satisfying... Need to work on this more!

Don't Stop Believing

Here comes the big battle, mi amigos.
I finally decided that this is it. I have to take a step forward. 
The last two weeks have been draining my energy. Issues with boss. Working too hard and excessively. No time to sketch or sew. No time for social life. 

Amazing how this whole 'comfort zone' and security issue can deter me, deter us.
I have to be courageous. 

Let these words of wisdom be my strength: 

"Dreams are as real as we believe them to be. Follow your heart wherever it leads you"

"Welcome life's changing winds, for change can be a miraculous gift"


I need a hug, please....

My first dress

Finally.... after months and months of trying to finish this dress, I had the chance to wear my first creation. Lots of mistakes I did, and the dress is not perfect. But, I learned a lot while doing.
Hopefully, I can get my hands (and time allowed) to start on my second sewing project. Am so excited!

    Prismacolor, Copic, Superior, Marvy

    Yuhuuu.... went to buy markers for drawing fashion illustration. 

    I have to say, the best marker so far for coloring is Copic, but sadly, it is sooooooo expensive. Thus, I have to find other alternatives. I was looking for prismacolor or marvy markers (which are a quarter of copic's price).

    I found this store: http://www.tokoprapatan.com/v1/ online and called them to check whether they have prismacolor markers - and they said yes. I visited the store and pick these markers... oooo so happy and can't wait to start using it!!!


    Anyone know other store who provide art supplies? Please share it with me ^^
    Cheers....
