Leonardo is one of my favorite artists. Not only for his work but for his dedication to the pursuit of knowledge.

I like to be very casual when I draw in my sketchbook. I kinda just turn off my brain and let loose.

Subway Sketch'n

This past Sunday marked the first time I attended Bobby Chiu's Subway Sketch Group over in Toronto. It was loads of fun and every one was pretty friendly. I even spoke with Bobby for a bit but I was nervous in doing so, to be honest.

I definitely intend to make this a weekly ritual. Especially since my friends and I are committed to a post-ritual curry from Sushi-on-bloor =9

Sketch'n On The Bus

Since I don't own an ipod or like to play video games for very long, I carry my sketchbook around for entertainment. I usually sit perched in a discreet corner and sketch away. These were done on Mississauga transit.

As a side note, I think I need a new scanner or need to press down harder when I draw. It's hard for the scan to capture all the little nuances of the original =<

Trip to the library

I'm a big fan of reading, books and the library. Unfortunately, this scene is not that exaggerated when you combine me and the three.

Scarmiglione from Final Fantasy IV! My absolute favorite game of the series. Inspired by Hyadain's take on the archfiend theme: link

A little study of a couple of boxers. I've been doing a few of those in my sketchbook. I always liked the intensity and ferocity of boxers but I've haven't been able to capture those qualities. I'll keep at it till I got it.

I think that's part of the gift and curse of an artist, pursuing that which is intangible, trying to give form to the formless. It's oddly satisfying!
