Practice from reading "The New Drawing from the Right Side of the Brain"
Found my old practice drawings while reading Betty Edward's "The New Drawing from the Right Side of the Brain"... Some are pretty funny while some are nice, esp. portraits of myself (ahem :D)... Wonder how I can do that 2 years back, don't think I can do that now...
Book list
It has been less than 2 years and my shelf is stuffed with reference books and art books... Before my days at FZD, I dun really have much books, max 10... but now, 1 shelf is occupied, onward!
Recent Artbooks
Read 2 art books that I bought recently:
- The Art of Alice: Madness Returns - A bit disappointed... with most of the environmental concept being really 'conceptual'... not much stuff to see, although a few nice pieces... Surprisingly that most of the designers are chinese where I originally thought all are ang mohs...
- Valkyria Chronicles Design Archive - at least 10x more worth than Alice art book. Nice character & vehicle design. Worth to buy (IMO).
Imperial Ship
Recent Books/movies
A list of what I have been reading/ watching:
From left:
From left:
- [Book] Color and Light by James Gurney - Great book from a great artist
- [Book] Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell - Presents some statistics about being success...
- [Movie] Soylent Green, 1973 - Movie whereby resources are depleting by the 2022, there's even a scene where they just load people in rubbish truck-like trucks... probably used for anti-riots.
- [Book] Getting Things Done by David Allen - haven't read past the 1st page...
Creatures from movie
Following screenshots were taken from a japanese movie: 牙狼 ~RED REQUIEM~ ( Garo the Movie: Red Requiem ). It's not a nice movie, but just looking out for the design aspect... Click to enlarge.
Interesting design with a executioner's chopping board at the front |
More of a typical Japanese evil monster design |
Steve Jobs & Apple
Steve Jobs,
Nice of you to bring about so many great products. Hope I could be someone like you. This caricature is for you.
Thank you & bye~.
Steve Jobs is gone and my iMac is going too, while my 6 yr-old ipod nano is still going strong... I'll probably never get an iMac again...
Apple products are great but recently I feel they are getting worse... Anyway, in time we'll see.
