These are faces too :-)

Oops! I know I should sketch human faces, but I can't help enjoying drawing these little guys! Excuse me ;-) Will work hard later on drawing people.

MATS Bootcamp May Mini - Drawing Faces & People


After five intensive weeks in MATS Part A, I am back to MATS Bootcamp this week. The Mini for May is to draw dolls, faces and people. I like to draw animals or creatures better, maybe because I love the imaginery wonderland without humans m...ore. Anyway I still should sketch some humans - in my styl, of course I have a full week to do this. To start, I doodled a few young faces, and even colored them. I believe they are not too scary.

MATS Part A Gift Market - Lush Pouch

This week, the MATS assignment is to design a full lush pouch for the gift market.  We are free to choose our own color palette to create a 9.5" x 7" pouch.  Ideally the design should reveal our collected treasures.  Well, I am not a person collecting things except books.  I do have the full range of Oliver Jeffers' childrens' picture books.  There are pictures from other authors including Aaron Becker's Journey and Emma Levey's Hattie Peck, both authors/illustrators have their debut launch last year and this year.  Books.  What can I do to merge them into my design?!  I just cannot show these books' covers to make up my pouch (copyright infringement).

Okay, as I cannot use the books for my design, I have decided to combine many elements of Spring.  Instead of creating a bright and noisy art, I use retro colors.  It looks not bad at all!  In addition to the pouch, I have also created two journals, a pen and a eraser/rubber.  I wanted to include more but due to time limit, I will do that later.
