Fan Art Friday: William Hampton & Jane Tillney from A Slight Miscalculation by Deb Marlowe, Amelia and Harry from London Underworld by Rebecca Burgess & Aya of Yop City by Marguerite Abouet and Illustrated by Clemént Oubrerie

Happy Fan Art Friday everyone! Today I'll be showing you three fan arts. I have used coloured inks for all of these drawings. Two of them has a brown background. This was made using tea.

The first fan art is of William Hampton and Jane Tilney from A Slight Miscalculation by Deb Marlowe. This short novella is part of a series called the Half Moon House. William Hampton finds the Half Moon House after his astronomy calculation is solved. I was very intrigued that astronomy was featured it drew me into the story. The drawing consists of three pictures. Two of them of how I conveyed these two characters in profile and the last drawing shows where they are positioned. I enjoyed making this drawing as I did reading it.  While reading this novel, the picture came to mind. It is actually of a scene that takes place in the novel. I quite impressed with it:

The next fan art is of Amelia and Harry from London Underworld by Rebecca Burgess. I bought the graphic novel from the London Comic Con in October this year. I was fascinated that there was a comic that was set in Victorian England. Amelia who is part of the upper class gets bored of her high class status and decides to have some fun with the help of Harry and his gang. There was a lot humour and there was drama in the comic too. Rebecca has portrayed the characters in the story was really well.  I really liked Ameila and Harry in the comic:

The third and final fan art of today is of Aya from the comic of the same title. It was written by Marguerite Abouet and illustrated by Clemént Oubrerie. I first read the first volume when I was in my second or third year at uni and during this week I found the next volume at my local library. The story is set during the 1970's in Cote D'Ivoire bust somehow I felt this comic series definitely revelent for today. The comic frees itself from the way Africa is portrayed in the media. Aya who is the main character of the story has a dream to become a doctor. As she is in this process of making her dream a reality, her friends and family also go through things and situations that are very much relevent today as it was back in the 1970's. I felt pleased to read this comic again after a couple of years that I have read the first volume and I feel very convinced that Aya would certainly achieve her dream. I have yet to read the rest of the series but I think that it is going to be very interesting.:

There will be more fan art next week. Thank you for visiting and please leave a comment.

Fan Art Friday: Petex 2014, and An Inspired Drawing based on the song 'Dreamin' About You' By PuffyAmiYumi

Happy Fan Art Friday Everyone! Today I'll be showing you two fan arts. All of them were pencil sketches then inked and some were changed on Photoshop.

The next fan art is of an event that I worked at this week. The name of the event was called Petex 2014. This event was a business trade show about oil and gas. The event takes place every two years. This year the event was celebrating twenty five years. I worked at this event for the entire three days of the show. It was really good. Within the afternoon of the first day I saw two people who were holding balloons with the number twenty-five. When I first stared at these balloons, I thought that they were octopuses but from looking at them it was really the number twenty five. With these balloons there were a couple of red balloons too. In this drawing I've created a big octopus with the writing on the bottom and the number two and five on each side. Once again I used red ink and cotton buds to ink the drawing.:

The second and final fan art for today is of an inspired drawing of a song by PuffyAmiYumi. In Japan they are known as Puffy. The name of the song is called 'Dreamin' About You'. This song is on their Japanese album 'Fever Fever'. I bought this album from Hyper Japan Christmas Market last week. I really like the album. I was even more surprised that the songs just like this one was used in their cartoon. The concept of this drawing was what I thought of while listening to the song.:

There wil be more fan art next week. Thank you for visiting and please leave a comment. Have a great weekend. 

My 27th Birthday : (Birthday Special 2/2)

Greetings Everyone! Today I celebrate my birthday. I'm 27. So to celebrate I've created two drawings both of them are of myself in chibi. They both have the same background just like the fan art drawings I've shown today. The background for all of these drawings were created as a result of today.

So to start off, here is a chibi version of myself as a queen. I'm wearing a blue dress because blue is my favourite colour. The dress was made by myself too.:

This next version of myself is in a winter jacket, gloves and a scaf. I'm seen floating around the starry background. In most of my drawings I'm seen with cornrows. It is the current hairstyle that I have now and it's one of the hairstyles that I'm not tired with. (:D) :

I hope to continue to make more drawings and I'll be post them on here too. Please look out of the and have a great weekend whereever you are. (:D)

Fan Art Friday: Cogsworth from Beauty and the Beast by Jeanne-Marie Le Prince de Beaumont and Movie by Disney and Hello Kitty by Sanrio (Birthday Special 1/2)

Happy Fan Art Friday! Today is my birthday and to celebrate there will be another post that I will post shortly after this one. Today I'll be posting two fan arts. They both have the same theme background. 

The first fan art is of Cogsworth from the movie Beauty and the Beast. I love watching this movie when I was young and I really adored most of the characters in this film. I loved the music and the story as well as the animation. Another awesome thing was that it was set in France. Cogsworth was someone who like to put order to things but it wouldn't work. He's quite funny too. I really loved that he was a grandfather clock. Plus somewhere in the beginning where he's introduced I loved the way he was lifted and moved about. I won't say by which character. In case you might already know.  Drawing this picture gave back memories when I watched the movie. The Beauty and the Beast series didn't end there. There were another two movies introduced. They were released on video back then. It was awesome seeing familiar characters back again. Here's the drawing:

The second and final fan art of today is of Hello Kitty by Sanrio. I came across Hello Kitty when I was in school. One of my friends had stationary. As I learnt more about Hello Kitty I found out that there is a huge theme park in Japan which is  based on her and the other Sanrio characters. I would love to go there someday. I decided to draw her in a dress that I made up myself and use the same stars on her dress as well as the background. I'm very impressed with it.:

There will be more fan art next week. Please look out for the next post about my birthday. Have a great weekend. :D

Fan Art Friday: World Tavel Market 2014 and Perfume

Happy Fan Art Friday, this post is coming late but I thought that it would still post them today. There are two drawings. One of them is based on an event that took place and of another will be taking place at a future date. The background is a similar to last week's drawing but there is a combination of colours used.

The first fan art is of an event that I work at. The name of the event is World Travel Market 2014. This event took place at Excel London. It is mainly a business travel show and countries around try to convince people who visit the show to make business in their countries. I was positioned in the press centre. This was at the platinum suite of the Excel centre. I have to admit there were some interesting people who were press and came through. Since I was positioned at the second floor of the centre I greeted them with a smile. Some responded and some didn't. I yearned to make something inspired from the show. The people that you can see here in this drawing are song of the members of press that I saw.:

The second and final fan for today is of the japanese pop trio Perfume. I came across this band sometime earlier this year. They were recommended by a friend of min who has been listening to this bad for a very long time. I listened to some of their tracks on youtube and bought their latest album 'Level 3' from a Japanese festival in London. I loved it! They are a world tour right now and they will be coming to London. I will be going to this concert and I am tremendously excited. It will be the third time that I have seen a band that isn't from the UK. It will take place next Wednesday. The song that I really like the most was this song. I love the dance moves in this video too. There was an album version on the album and I thought it was really awesome. The dresses that are seen here are similar to what they usually drawn but I thought that I would make a couple of changes.:

There will be more fan art next week. Thank you for visiting and please leave a comment. ;)
