Human Face VS Cartoon Face

Sometimes when I get a little stressed out , I make faces that looks

or this..



or maybe this ..

But it turns out that the muscle of the human face is constructed up to only a certain amount of limitation of how far it could stretch



Anything that goes beyond limitation ..



...could very well lead to a contract of a life time dis-figuration



So,to summarize it all , here's how I really look like when I try to play around with my expression..

Mrs Tattenburgh - Painted from my old sketchbook

Mom's birthday was on last Saturday , Nov 6th , and apparently Traditional art worked faster than the usual digital art I did for Mom over the past few years ever since I started picking up Digital painting , and most of them didn't survive anyway. So here's what I did and gave to her ~ Happy Birthday Mom , love ya :)





Color Pencils and pastels (approx 2 hrs)


Sketchings from the Chinese Temple


Sketches I did at the Mall after work


So here are some sketches I did while on my 2 weeks trip to Florence and Rome, the images are dark but I hope they did their job , to translate.































On the other hand , my college hard work was finally paid for .The short film which me and my team mates worked on last year fell under the Winning category and we were all awarded for the Tokyo Asiagraph 2010.Without you guys, this would be totally impossible to reach ,Great work everyone & Thanks for making this happen. Congratulations to the other winners tonight too !!
