Monday, July 30, 2007 Portfolio

7/30/2007 01:46:00 PM

Yes! I've finished my portfolio! 20 of my best works (I think). Here they are!!!

Sunset at Kuala Selangor.

This landscape picture was drawn based on the sunset that I saw at Kuala Selangor before I left Malaysia.

Victoria Institution corridor

This picture was drawn based on the picture I took during my last day in high school. I didn't have charcoal back then so I couldn't shade it darker. 1 point vanishing point.

Restorant Malaysia Inc.
Yes the spelling for "Restaurant" is wrong in either English or Malay. Its like a cross between the languages and the format of the name is Malaysian. Example : Restoran Gourmet Terrace or Restoran Maideen. I sat at the end of the restaurant while I drew this and used the vanishing point principal in helping me draw this picture. There is a mirror on the left side wall so I had to mirror the objects on the right as well. P.S. I didn't use a ruler.

Porche Carrera S in front of Victoria Institution

Yea well, this view never happened. I drew the car first and then sat in front of the school to draw the building using 3 vanishing points. One each on the left, right and the top.

Porche Carrera S and a girl wearing Nike STOMP shoes.
The Porche Carrera S is the first car that I could ever draw. This drawing is my first try. I later decided to draw the girl there as well after I completed the drawing of the car.

Michael Shumacher and the F2001

I'm not sure how many people here in the States have heard of Formula 1 since it doesn't seem to be as popular here as it is in Europe. This is a drawing of the Ferrari F2001 car model that I have and the 7 time F1 World Champion, Michael Shumacher.

Mr. Subash

This is a deformed drawing of my Physics and Chemistry tuition teacher back when I was in high school. I gave the original one to him as a gift after I scanned it.

Girl.

Just a random picture that I drew when I was changing the way I drew when I was changing my drawings from Japanese anime to more life like drawings.

Li-Shia

Li-Shia was my choir's conductress in high school during 2005 and 2006. She likes being very... bubbly.

Zhi-Ni

A friend that I met in my younger brother's high school.

Pei Wern

Yi Peng

Su Yeng

Rachel Chen

Pei Wern, Yi Peng, Su Yeng and Rachel are some of my oldest friends in Malaysia. We used to go to the same elementary school before and kept in touch long after we went to seperate high schools.

Weng Yan

I knew Weng Yan through my cousin, Melissa who goes to the same school as her.

Rachelle

One of my new friends that I made. She lives in Canada.

Spiraling Bamboo

A drawing of the spiraling bamboo that I have in my house.

The Rose

A drawing of a rose that my mom got for Mother's Day which hasn't fully bloomed yet. It reminded me of the song, "The Rose", which I decided to write down in the background.

Egret

I drew this as practice when I bought a book on how to draw using charcoal.

Resource Centre Games 2007 logo.

I was asked by the Audio Visual Board of my old high school, Victoria Institution, to help design the logo for the 2007 inter-school Resource Centre Games. I gave them this in the end. The shades of blue represent Victoria Institution as the host school because VI's colors are light and dark blue. The hexagons in the backround represents the patches of a soccer ball and the outdoor sports held during the event. The squares completing the letter R represents a chess board and the indoor games. The roman numerals XXIX tells us that this is the 29th Resource Centre Games being held.

So there you go folks. My 20 pieces in my portfolio that I'll be sending over to the SVA on the 31st of July. Please leave some comments ok!!
