Good Bye Baguio.

"Walis Tambo" ride to Manila, weird idea probably because every time I travel to Baguio parents and friends would usually ask me to bring "walis tambo" as "pasalubong".

I tried adding colors, and its fun. I captured a WIP because base on previous works every time I'm adding color everything goes wrong (=___=) but I think I made a good job for this one.

When In Baguio

Random ideas, I always imagine I have my pets with me every time I travel. And for a record Baguio City is awesome early in the morning. Really.

Hello. Doodle exploration. I like the idea of expression using pen and paper alone.

30 DAYS DRAWING CHALLENGE - DAY 10 : FAVORITE CANDY

Cotton Candies & Gummy Bears are happy food for me + I love Meiji Chocolates they are cute and yummy :P so here's an island of my favorite.

I am ashamed that my daily challenge became weekly :( Lazy. Slow. Lack of Ideas. Busy is not an excuse.

30 DAYS DRAWING CHALLENGE - DAY 9 : FAVORITE TV SHOW

Hello. Back to the challenge, after 4 months? Tsktsk. I really want to finish it, accomplish something maybe. So here we go my favorite local TV show "Biyahe ni Drew" I love traveling and of course taking photograph and this show is a great guide in making my own itinerary. FYI I don't really watch TV I just watch the episodes here.

For international TV show, I love Sherlock and still waiting for the next episodes.

Wishing everyone a great 2015. Happy New Year! :)

Fail lettering, I suppose to draw a thin line but I did a wrong stroke and end up making a super thick ugly lines. Anyway I learned something thick lines looks ugly for this style :)

Merry Christmas everyone! :P

Just another fun art, I just love sketching its mind relaxing habit - inspired by tokomo illustrations.

Texture Experiment. I’m still struggling with what process to use in adding textures on my illustration without ruining it. I stopped using noise effect, though it's easy to make, I think my final artwork is not sophisticated enough.. I'm looking for something.. oh well I don't know. I'm not fun of using textures, though there are artist who really used it aesthetically, I still prefer to use solid colors however since texture was needed for this specific client I’m gonna give it a try using my own texture.. Hope to get a better result..

New York Skyline

Ola! it feels like Saturday. I'm not sleepy at all and since I was not able to follow my daily illustration for this week (work thing - I'm having a difficulty in following client's Illustration style guide - following other's style :( so I used my free time to do my work just to make sure I have something to show the next day. I think I'm losing my sense of judgement between what is beautiful and ugly. Peer Pressure, I guess? Anyway because I don't feel good this past 3 days, I need to entertain myself so here's New York Skyline following only FEW google style ( the trees and flat colors - because I will reuse it tonight)

Illustration Process.. No gradient.. I just used flat colors & played around with opacity - a bit crazy but I just want to try this style. It's super fun playing with colors.. I'm trying to achieve sunset lighting effect - uhm its one of google standard and they called it HUECAST.

30 Days Drawing Challenge - Day 7 : FAVORITE MOVIE

Edward Scissorhands is one of my childhood favorite. I want my own garden like that and of course I am a big fan of Johnny Depp :) So here's my version :p

Illustration Process... I did different approach. I started drawing the background, I wanted to add a moonlight effect but I found it difficult to add nice lighting ( I just wish I had a mentor to teach me the best approach) anyways i just added a slight touch of light. Also I did a slight adjustment with my sketch. I included the illustrator screenshot with my reference photos hehe inspiration :)

30 Days Drawing Challenge - DAY 6 : FAVORITE BOOK CHARACTER

Anne was my childhood favorite book character and LM Montgomery was my first favorite author. While sketching I noticed that Wendy's logo has same features with Anne ( red braided hair & the freckles )

Illustration process ( It's not yet final.. I spend some time, or maybe I'm just slow but I guess I'm learning the tool.. will update this in the future :p )
