Head Casts Sketches, Clothes and objects from the Victoria and Albert Museum

Hello Everyone! I hope you're all having a brilliant November so far. Two Sundays ago, I went to the Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A) and it was awesome. I did some sketches on clothes, a couple of objects and head cast sketches.

The first batch of sketches are of clothes from China:

The next batch of sketches are clothes are from Korea and England:

These sketches are of objects from China, Korea and England:

The final sketches for today are of Head sketches. All of the are women:

This final sketch is part of a huge sculpture. I'm thinking of creating more sketches of this piece just like I did with the last Head Cast that I did a while ago.:



























There will be Fan Art Friday tomorrow. I hope to show you more fan art from comics or books that are great! Also Happy Thanksgiving!

(^o^)14th Day Christmas Pictures!(^_^)

As a lead-up to my 25th birthday, I decided that every month on the 14th, I will create and post an image on my blog, this will be based on what comes to mind, what I have seen from the first week, on TV, DVD's or places that I have been around London. This month I have chosen to create a Christmas drawing since it will be next week where Christmas will finally arrive. It's of a drawing of an angel that lives on top of the tree and meets another ornament which has floated around the house. (You'll probably realise this already or not but the ornament or the right reminds me of Steve Jobs in his younger days.... He didn't really come to mind while I was drawing this picture but as I coloured the image, I saw a bit of a resemblance.) This image is in water-colour paints and inked in black ink:

The next drawing is a Secret Santa for a particular forum member on a website called Sweatdrop. This forum member has a web comic called FanDanGo that begun in 2009 and is still going today. She is part of a group called Indie Manga and has created some great comics so far. Since she is a fan of Tsubasa Resevoir Chronicle, I decided to do a fan art of this series. It's written by a five female manga artists called CLAMP, where each of them create various fragments for one series. They are also the artist who create one of my favourite manga, called xxxholic. It's a different story however it's a cross-over of Tsubasa and the same scenes in Tsubasa are portrayed quite differently in this comic. The main characters are drawn in Christmas clothes:

The final drawing, is a another fan-art for Deb Marlowe. This is another retrospective picture of two brothers (Charles and Jack) who have found their love (Sophie and Lily) in two of the authour's books. (Scandelous Lord, Rebellious Miss and Her Cinderella Season) It's has a Christmas theme and I was inspired by visiting The Museum of London. As usual I visited the Pleasure Garden's section of the Museum and sketched the clothes with an orange coloured pencil. When I got home I inked and used water colour paints the drawing. Towards the end of this week, the image will be sent to Deb:

On a side note, I created this impressionist drawing of myself to celebrate my 24th birthday last month, I've abandoned black in this drawing and used blue. Also I portrayed myself wearing my Front of House uniform that I wear at work:
