To all you reading this blog: I’m finally back!! Sorry for the uber-long hiatus; been rather busy with school. So here’s a series of four papercut photos to be submitted for ILP 2:

I also want to give a big SHOUT OUT to everyone who gave your comments on this blog. Thanks for all your comments! And to those who requested for drawings etc, could you email me by clicking here? I’ll try to get to you as soon as possible after my exams are over. Good luck for mugging everyone! (:

Presenting my submission for Term 2’s ILP submission:

This is the final papercut made from white cardstock and painstakingly handcut by XY! (: The draft is now being exhibited in its own little corner in the Inner Plaza. I named the draft “Polar Lights” out of sheer desperation. I don’t think I’ll name this piece yet. Because the design was made through pure spontaneity and random mumbo jumbo. Can you find all the animals?

More random papercrafts done during ILP today. Here’s the bovine skull from the previous pencil sketch and some flora. The flower was inspired by Peter Callesen! (But of course it’s no where near his work!)

I decided to try something new for ILP, and here’s the result.

I improvised as I did this, so I didn’t really plan for it or anything. I like the grass; it was made from single sheet folded in two! Haha. (:

Here it is! I just finished it today. I remembered Mr G saying something about Cornelia Parker, so we tried out some shadow effects at the Photo and Film room during ILP today.

I’ve gotten a little tired of drawing these stuffs. I want something more expressive, more dynamic, more me… :/

p.s. if you noticed the weird pattern on the neck, it’s because I accidentally cut it so I glued it back but it’s not in the right position…

Finally less realistic drawings and more random doodles. This is something that came up in my mind yesterday. Firey pheonixes have always been a motif in my work. I’m recently introducing fawns and deers now. Love the idea, don’t like the lousy penart. :/

I realised I hardly draw marine mammals, so here’s a Bowhead Whale for a change! And I’m using one of my favourite techniques… STIPPLING! The proportion was really tricky because I tend to make him look a little fatter.. XP

An animal’s skull from a creative photography book. I really like the subtle shading on this one. (:

Mr Tan said I can’t post coursework stuff next year, so here’s your chance to check out all my ILP drawings and stuff before everything goes private and confidential! Here’s another bald eagle pencil drawing from a copy of the Encyclopaedia of Birds in the school library. Check out the textures! :D:D

p.s. sorry the scanner picked up the skull and eagle head sketch behind LOL!

Surprise! It’s another inked papercut design, but with a smoother, curvier style to it. It’s supposed to be a fawn in the clouds with the full moon behind. Should’ve saved this for Mid-Autumn Festival, no? (:
