Another EDM post and an attempt on drawing fur/hair of possibly my favorite animal since I'm posting the 3rd panda now in this blog ^^ I know that there's still a lot to be improved, and I am starting to see why I should be using a needle as a stylus to get more natural strokes, rather than just the tip of my 0.5mm mechanical pencil. I am starting to love my Faber-Castell 6B Pure Graphite PITT Pencil. It makes it so much easier to do the dark areas.My deepest apology to the grainy picture as I took this with my compact camera at night. I'll re-post the picture again when I am able to snap it with natural daylight(or maybe it's time for me get an SLR camera ^o^)
Many thanks to all of you who viewed and commented on my last sketch on Okuribito. I am glad you like it, and I hope you like the movie too :)
He's adorable! And wonderfully drawn. I think you did an excellent job with that fur :-)
ReplyDeletenice and detailed. how long you took to finish this piece? btw, 3rd panda? where are the other 2?
ReplyDeleteAnn, Thank you so much ^^ still a long way to go for me to achieve photo-realism.
ReplyDeleteHuiHui, It took me about half an hour to do the outlines, and about 2-3 hours to do the details on the Panda, another hour for the colors and the wood. Click on the label that says "Panda" and you'll see the other two :p
Alex...this is amazing...the texture of the fur rocks...a beautiful piece! Well done!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute little pandaaa^^...He looks so relaxed^^...I love how you did the fur...soooo fluffy-I want to cuddle this one...*inlovewithpanda*

ReplyDeletegood job ... draw more panda okie next time :)
This panda is so cute... I just want to hug him...he looks so soft! Hehe. Great job once again :)
ReplyDeleteGreat job with the fur again - one day I'll work out how you do it! This one looks much friendlier than your last panda :)
ReplyDeleteOh and I'm really glad you liked the magazine - hope your fiancée likes it too!
I feel very complemented that you visited my blog and liked what I had done, because your work is excellent. The fur is amazing.
ReplyDeletePanda is my fave too!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work!! you've captured its essence so well that i really want to hug or touch it. You're good indeed!
Alex, great post! The last one too! I would have commented sooner, but I've been away from the computer!
ReplyDeleteMargaret Ann, thank you so much ^^ I love your work too!
ReplyDeleteP-Koda, yeah the panda is sleeping :) Shhh... be quiet.
Lyna, yes makcik! I'll try to do more cute stuff next time. But occasionally the war-monger side of me would want to come out and play too okie? ;)
Kaine, Thank you ^^ I need to visit your blog and see how's the progress of your art-studio!
Aveen, actually it's not hard. ^^ I learned a bit from Onlypencil.com The tutorial section is pretty easy to follow.
Dan Kent, thanks for reciprocating! I don't usually compare from one to another, but try to appreciate the effort and attention to details into a drawing instead. That way I'll be able to appreciate it a lot more.
Owl Eng, Hahaha! I thought you only like OWLsss.. thanks for the compliments, it means a lot coming from a great artist like yourself.
Raena, don't worry about it ^^ you're never late for anything. I love your Mickey Mouse spoon drawing!
The Panda looks hairy..the whole drawing is like a carpet.
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome! You did great with the hair. The panda looks like it's contemplating the meaning of life.
