Partners

I find it so romantic that penguins have partners for life :) another drawing for #doodleadaynov

A favourite thing

In winter times my favourite thing is a blanket wrapped all around me. I don't think I could survive any winter, not even mild, without my blanket. This drawing is for #doodleadanov :)

Begins with R

This is for #doodleadaynov. I'm actually quite behind with the daily drawings :( I've been having a lot of work lately but it's always nice to draw

Illustration Friday - Tail

I'm really into foxes lately. They're just so cute and their fur looks so soft and they're very nice to draw :)

Tying my tie

A quick doodle for #doodleadaynov.

Monkeys just wanna have fun!

We're been having wonderful weather here in Hong Kong so I decided to do something I've been thinking about for a long time which was to take some monkeys I bought in Thailand to the beach.

They were very happy because they haven't been to the beach before and even though they're very small they weren't scared of the sand or the sea.

We bought these monkeys in a Gibbon Rehabilitation Project in Phuket, Thailand. They're doing a very nice job of Rescuing, Rehabilitating and Reintroducing Gibbons into the wild. Gibbons were almost  made extinct by poachers in Phuket, but now they're being care for by the GRP. 

If you ever go to Thailand please don't have your pictures taken with Gibbons or any other wild animals. Remember that poachers have killed their mothers and have destroyed their families. Let's enjoy the animals in their natural habitat doing whatever monkeys, elephants, dolphins do and not dancing or wearing clothes or make up.

Vehicle

How fast would this vehicle go? This is for #doodleadaynov

Illustration friday - Energy

Lack of energy around this house.

Something you bought

We're getting into the christmas spirit round my house so I bought reindeer antlers for my cat. Needless to say, she doesn't like them nor wear them. This is a drawing for #doodleadaynov

On the floor

I like drawing on the floor sometimes. This is for #doodleadaynov.

Russian babushka dolls for #doodleadaynov

Something fresh

Screen printing experience

Yesterday I had my very first screen printing experience. We were told that we were going to print onto a tote bag so I knew I wanted to do some nice lettering for my bag. I had a few options, but at the end I settled for this one.

I didn't know anything about screen printing so everything was very exciting and new. The process was longer than I expected it to be, and there were many materials and lots of painting, washing and drying to get the screen.

After many trials with the paint, I decided to use 2 colours for my printing and here you can see the end result -The colours look brighter than in the picture- I'm very happy with the print and despite the back pain and the stains of paint in my skirt, I had fun and enjoy the workshop. I'm sure I'll do more screen printing in the future but maybe I'll try to use more simple shapes!

Leaf

Here's a frog for #doodleadanov. Did you know that the Victoria leaves are quite strong? When I went to the amazon, the guide said that the leaves could resist the weight of a small pig - or something similar, I don't remember very well- That's quite impressive!

By the way, this is my post 100! - HOORAY!- I'll do a special drawing to celebrate and tell you a little bit about my creative journey. 

Daily

I should go out on a daily walk but I'm a little lazy sometimes. There's a nice park near my house, I should try to go there. This is for #doodleadaynov.

Roots

This little bunny is for #doodleadaynov

I ❤ my onesie

I'm very happy to have one of my designs featured in the The Art and Business of Surface Pattern Design blog. This is the showcase of module 2. You can see the work of some of my colleagues as well in HERE. This is only part 1 of the showcase, there're more beautiful designs to come!

Illustration Friday - Secret

I've been meaning to draw a hedgehog for a while, so here it is. This one secretly plays the trumpet.

Paper

I can't believe it's already november. This year has passed so quickly! 

This drawing is for #doodleadaynov and the word is paper. I haven't done origami before so I thought I'd give it a try, alas I'm not good at it :( so for the moment I'll stick with drawings.
