猫のありがとう "Neko no Arigatou"

This was a design I did for Hella Thanks! Kinokuniya Gift card Competition. The winner will get their work PRINTED as gift cards for the Japanese bookstore, Kinokuniya all over the nation!!

Hand drawn everything in photoshop and created the texture in PS as well.

I decided to do a simple drawing of a cat holding these bunch of balloons with "ありがとう” or "Arigatou" on it. Meaning "Thank you" in Japanese. :) Wanted the kind of children-like drawing feel into it.

It was really fun to do. :)

Still Life Project - 113A

Black and White Egg Painting - start

Final Result on Illustration Board

Initial Sketch

We started egg painting in acrylic today in class. So, this is my egg lay in today. THinking of starting a new one after I finish with this.

So, I decided to do the final on illustration board..here it is: I think I spent too much time on this.. took me like 9 hours...T__T Kept on messing up..

Note to self:

- core is too dark...

- problem with reflected light

- stop overworking on a piece @_@
