77. Dragon 1.1

 

After that tree, it took me a few days to re-think something and I always wanted to draw creatures so here goes ... however, I noticed I am always rushing to finish ... and thus what I started and what I ended are usually far different

76. Tree of Life 4.4 Finale

 

And here it is ... the final version all done in mechanical pencil lead 0.3 to 0.5 depending on what I had on hand ... hehehe ... no inks ... hope you all like it ... someone told me I should start signing off and dating my works ... so I have

75. Tree of Life 4.3

 

At this point, I was wondering where I went wrong because my tree looks kind of fat hahaha naturally we know trees are like the folds in our clothes and can wend any which way but somehow for me ... I tend to over-think these ... and I think ended up making finish product worse ... I guess this shows a lack of confidence in my own skills still

74. Tree of Life 4.2

The reason I took a while to finish this piece is that I am still unable to relax my grip whenever I do pencil work ... so my fingers feel numb within like a handful of minutes and my arm and back a bit tired and sore when 30 mins or so have swum by ... hence the need for frequent breaks to finish anything ...

So they selected Tree of Life #1 and one of the dot-dot paintings and I mailed it to them

Even that was a nightmare as the courier company sent it to Morocco instead of Monaco. A lot of unnecessary tension, I tell you! Hah!

Anyway, as I have never been to France, I decided to fork out the price for my own ticket and went there. Not a bad event but not as glamourous as I would have expected

71. Tree of Life 3.1 Finale

Well, well, well ... it has been many months since I have posted and I do have legitimate reasons ... firstly it's not because I didn't do much art ... well I didn't do much that's true and I had a dry spell from Aug to Oct .. but anyway over the next few days ... I am going to update everyone ... so here is the third in my series Tree of Life #3 ... this piece is more inspired from my days in 2001 Vietnam ... where I was doing the backpacker route up to Nha Trang passing by Muine
