Inspired by Dior

I'm in a sketching spree and inspired by the upcoming events of NY fashion week. Can't wait to go!

There's something beautiful about a woman with effortless style and confidence.

Just Pencils

This was sent to me from my little cousin in Hong Kong. Cute!

A PENCIL MAKER TOLD THE PENCIL 5 IMPORTANT LESSONS JUST BEFORE PUTTING IT IN THE BOX :

1.) EVERYTHING YOU DO WILL ALWAYS LEAVE A MARK.
2.) YOU CAN ALWAYS CORRECT THE MISTAKES YOU MAKE.
3.) WHAT IS IMPORTANT IS WHAT IS INSIDE OF YOU.
4.) IN LIFE, YOU WILL UNDERGO PAINFUL SHARPENINGS,
WHICH WILL ONLY MAKE YOU BETTER.
5.) TO BE THE BEST PENCIL, YOU MUST ALLOW YOURSELF TO BE HELD AND GUIDED BY THE HAND THAT HOLDS YOU.


We all need to be constantly sharpened. This parable may encourage you to know that you are a special person, with unique God-given talents and abilities. Only you can fulfill the purpose which you were born to accomplish. Never allow yourself to get discouraged and think that your life is insignificant and cannot be changed and, like the pencil, always remember that the most important part of who you are, is what's inside of you.

My wrist strain is getting better but still not back to normal...but on an exciting note...I'm finally done drawing in my first moleskine! WOOHOO. I think I might upgrade to a larger moleskin..I love the thick cardstock pages.

Here's the last image..inspired by The Standard Hotel in NY and a very special someone...

Thanks everyone for all the support and feedback...here's to more drawing..:) Have a great week

Tribute to my friend who's going to a pool competition next week! I don't think it's done but couldn't help to post!

Paper!

My friend just gave me a beautiful piece of kozo hand made paper he made and I was wondering all day what to draw on it....equipped with my trusty Mars plastic, soft pastels and black ink pens...I think I erased my drawing over 5 times and luckily the beautiful paper stayed intact. There's something so natural, perfect about the fibers that intertwine together..creating this wonderful texture... so here's some teasers..

Perfume perfection

I really enjoyed doing this piece tonight. I love perfume but the really feminine, light, floral kinds...my ultimate favorite? Chloe....which reminds me, I'm all out an need to restock...there's something delicious about an intoxicating scent...spritz or not...
