Drawn to this

It was a hyped up weekend because of the General Elections. I'm glad that all the buzz is finally over. Actually, the weekend ended pleasantly with an open figure drawing class held at the New York University Tisch School of the Arts Asia. Tucked away in the greens of the Tanglin area, this school organises uninstructed figure drawing sessions not just to students, but to the public.

For the past five Sunday evenings, I've been going there with some of my schoolmates for these sessions. This is a gem an animation student like myself will prize - more drawing! And how generous of the school to keep these sessions open to all! Did I mention it's free too? Classes like these definitely make the drawing scene especially here in Singapore (whether you're an animator, illustrator or hobbyist) more alive. One of the highlights of this open class concept is the opportunity to be exposed and learn from the many various styles of drawing from artists of all walks of life.

Thank you, Patrick, for organising this. Sessions begin again in the Fall '11.

Face job

This is the first set of serious sculpting I've ever done. Can't wait for the next bust project.

Today started out beautiful... blue skies and puffy white clouds. It was due to the showers from the early morning. But strangely, as I headed back for school again in the late noon, I sensed a blanket of haze over the city! What a drastic change from just a couple of hours before. I chanced on the opportunity to study lighting as the haze provides a perfect setting for atmospheric lighting. :O)

And lastly... my school has a open house 1 to 3 Oct, and 8 to 10 Oct (10am to 4pm). Details are found here.
