Cafe people sketch

I was on official duty last Saturday and yesterday evening. So I took a few hours time-off this morning to enjoy my brunch at my favourite cafe - Penny University at East Coast Road. I was facing this loving young couple with a new born baby and got an urge to sketch the people. Sketching really calmed my nerves and at that moment I really wished I could stay a little longer. Too bad I had to leave for work and left before the lunch crowd walked in. Oh yes, sketching helps us pick up details - the ladies including the waitresses were all having ponytail hair except one even if they come and gone.

LEGO-Themed Family Day at our Campus

I missed the monthly sketchwalk at Serangoon Garden because I had to be on campus for our next activity in conjunction with the LEGO exhibition. It was a fun-filled Saturday after discovering so many young budding LEGO artists. The LEGO character look-alike imitation contest was really fun with family coming together and created the characters such as Mermaid, Bandit, Wizard and Sailor. It was fun fun fun!

Sketch at the same spot again at Tiong Bahru

  

  

The top is the completed work and the next one was taken just before I apply colouring on location. I led a group of my colleagues and their families to Tiong Bahru and sketch. The ad-hoc sketchwalk was conducted in conjunction with the LEGO exhibition at the campus. Sum Kwan, the 5-year-old boy really impressed me with his drawing. He could identify shapes on the spot and drew with very confident lines. Paul's son who is nine, is also good and bold in his line work. I had so much to observe and learn from these children. The lease we can do is to encourage them to do more so they will continue to sketch, draw, paint and enjoy the process of mark making.
