(Fictional) Movie Posters

Poster

The drawing above is an example of times where unintentional doodles on scraps became more detailed and finally I decided to finish them off with colors.

Sketched with pen, scanned and colored on the iPad.

5-Point Perspective - An imaginary city front

I used to look at fish-eye sketches and wonder how can those ever be drawn. I always thought they were very difficult drawings to do. But when I first came across a tutorial about 5-Point Perspective Drawing from the deviantART website, I realized it isn't difficult at all! In fact once you understand the principle behind the lines, creating one is just limited by one's ability to imagine.

First 5-Point Perspective attempt. Drew an imaginary city front.

Decided to color it eventually. Completed on my iPad with Sketchbook Pro.

City View Sketch

When I have extra idling time I imagine and draw... on anything.

This time a 2-D imaginary city view sketch on the back of a discarded sticker paper.

Bald Eagle

Pen Sketch - Mousy

I found this sketch that was done very long time ago.

The mouse is a toy for cats. You pull a string attached at the back. And as it retracts, the internal spring loaded off-centred CAM rotates, and the mouse dashes forward with a series of mini jumps on the ground.

It was sitting on my table when I decided to pen it on paper. I was glad I kept my drawings.

Car Toys

Car Toys (2009)

People who drives often warm their car up for a couple of minutes before they drive off. I did that too. Only to begin thinking what do I do while waiting for the car to warm up?

The sketch above was done over a few days. A few strokes per day depending on how much time I decide to warm up my car. I did not apportion space for the metal toy behind and decided to add it in after the lamb was completed. That is why Mr. Metal was like 'cut-off'. Sorry Mr. Metal...

Street Walkers

Street Walkers (2008)

Another fictional cartoon sketch done straight from a pen. This sketch was for no reason. It started off with a few lines. and gradually it developed with people, buildings, roads, street lamps, and birds hanging around.

Hence the title 'Street Walkers'.

You could guess by now how I entertain myself when I am pretty free. Pity my pen and pencil. They hardly get some rest...

Army Daze

Army Daze (Year definately before 2000)

I cannot recall exactly which year I drew this. It could be during my polytechnic days...

But what I could remember was this: I did not intend to draw a daze looking soldier. I had a pen with me and a piece of paper staring at me. So i drew a curve. It looked like a shell. Then I complete the shell and it looked like a helmet to me. Then I added in the face, which in turn suggests to me now it looked like a soldier. And the rest is history.

There are some inaccuracies in the sketch. For example, the rifle and the spear don't look right. That is because the spear initially wasn't a spear. There was a line drawn which I didn't know why it was there and so I converted it (or rather camouflaged it) into a spear. =) And also army boys cannot have long hair. Hehe...

Candid Sketches - Old Lady Complaining

Old Lady Complaining in West Mall Foodcourt (2008)

It was a fine afternoon and I was seated comfortably in a food court enjoying my bowl of Korean Kim Chi noodle. Then I was interrupted by two ladies who sat on the next table. Apparently the elderly aunt was complaining to her younger friend about his son and everything under the sun, soon that interruption became an opportunity.

An opportunity to draw. She looked kind of fun to draw. Soon her expression was shouting 'draw me, draw me'. And so... I captured her, and her friend, and the contextual background.

This time I only have a Pilot G-2 pen with me and of course my faithful little drawing pad.
