Findings on using copic markers

Lighter shade first, then the darker one, with the medium colour to merge the two shades*

always always leave some white to allow light spots... 

fine point marker should be used as little as possible!*

As an experimenting artist, Copic marker, a bit pricey to doodle with, but so great for shading and merging colours. love it! 

Facial expression part is still a bit challenging for me, as the shades to be made are so small and precise, every stroke of a darker shade can make a huge difference of what the face would look like. 

love this pose*

Illustration of the warrior yoga pose in a mint dress!

It is actually more difficult drawing figures with clothes on, I find. 

Measurements of an arm and a leg is not the same. 

But yoga clothes are a bit too boring, this minty green dress just made the whole posture more interesting and feminine. 

Om..... sleep time. 

a picture means a thousand words

An image that I came across recently, mother and child, simple yet powerful image that I saw from instagram 

I saw the picture and it made me smile, drawing it out pouring out my feelings towards an image made my heart melt. ah. Amazing way to end a friday night.

Happy weekend!

Love my copic markers. I wish they were cheaper :P

Observe, Practice and Draw!

I find that when I practise drawing yoga postures, it is the best when I am practising yoga myself.
I feel where I put my weight towards, I feel my stretches, my muscles pull, I pay attention never to put stress to my knees. And then after interacting with human, I hide at home looking at many and many yoga postures from online yoga instructors. Instagram is amazing.

Pretty happy with this one. This one is inspired by yoga teacher elias falla

And of course, I'm very honoured to have him use my illustration on his profile:)

Watching So You Think You Can Dance

...that's why I don't watch tv, I get distracted and I started doodling when I tried watching so you think you can dance, 

all those dancers are so inspiring, 

how do they fall on their knees without bruising them.. 

other than that, my yoga instructor's perfect posture continues to inspire me in perfecting in illustrating body postures...
