moving hands.: random sketches.. of things that are around me

one of my student was preparing for a coursework..

and while advising her..

i made this sketch of an image that she has of a marine creature.. Crab.

can't rem the name of this crab.. sure looks like spider.

this was done with a black 0.5 Pilot G2 pen... in about 20 mins.

as the pages go by... you see this green apple logo at the bottom right corner..

this sketch bk isn't bought or anything..

it was a free gift for one of those roadside promos..

seeing it lying on the desk collecting dust...

why not fill the pages up?

as i always mention to my students..

there isn't a need for one to purchase expensive materials...

unless you are preparing for an exhibition, ready to sell your work..

else it's just acting like a diary..

in fact my sketching journal IS a diary.

it is a VISUAL DIARY.

instead of writing words down..

i draw objects in and even though there aren't any text..

by looking at these images...

i know exactly what was happening then.

it's even clearer and faster than writing it down! (personally i feel so)

a quick illustration as i was bored waiting for my friends at a local cafe..

i enjoy working with ball point pens too!

not sure if anyone will agree with me..

but i kinda like the effect that a pen gives.. the 'wobbly' lines.. cartoonish yet real feel to it..

sometimes my own drawings remind me of the Korean stationeries you see at ARTBOX..

or actually speaking of which, this particular Korean Stationery online shop has a pretty gd range.

bought black pens from there.. gave a couple to my students and left 1 for myself...

it's very smooth and very adorable (refering to the designs on it)

got some notebooks too.. considered cheap too!

they've got a very cute logo!!!!

see?? am i right???

hahah. anyone who knows of nice and cheap stationeries store can leave a comment too! i would like to know.. then can buy for my students :)

ok back to my stuff..

more drawings in my sketchbook...

drapery study.. first time done in pen.

my left foot wearing boot..

very random but i would think this is my favourite piece till now.. in pen of course.

tata. thats all for now..

yet to find time to scan more of my drawings..

next entry i will strive to put in my pencil drawings!!

till then!
