Making a debut on this blog....


...is my sketchpad.

Yes, I am learning to draw. And I am extremely proud to say that I am learning it all by myself.

Okay, the truth of the matter is....I blew off not-a-few thousand pesos on an amazing Fashion Illustration book late last year that's is soooo idiot-friendly (i.e. idiot-me). I was pleasantly amazed the first time I tried to copy one of the figures and found that my feeble attempt actually looked similar to the one in the book. I promise to post the complete title of this book next time (the full title escapes me right now) for those interested to learn Fashion Illustration.

The other amazing thing about this book? The figures are done in sketches so you get free reign on the color and pattern combinations. Don't you just love that?

The left photo I did with colored pencils. The right photo I did with watercolor.

More of my sketchpad in the future posts.

In the meantime, I am singing "This could be the start of something new"...

(oh you know I'm in a good mood when I'm taking off lines from High School Musical....)
