Dance and painting. Contemporary and ballet. Flexed and pointed. Free and structured. Bold and pastel. Curves and straight lines. Darkness and light. Soft gradients and rough strokes. Illustrative and realistic. You never know what two (or more) different elements / people / things could produce when they unite. They may not always turn out “pretty” but certainly they have something unique that intrigues us and for me, that’s what true beauty is. Surely, there is strength in unity. Live long and prosper.

Oh, and here’s my newest piece. Just added it into the gallery :)

Inspired by Disney/Pixar’s latest masterpiece, Inside Out. This one’s very personal to me. Each character was personalized to meet the characteristics of some closest people in my life right now. I just love them! I must say there’s so many inside stories about this piece. The title, the process, the people. But nah, I’m not going to share it all out. They’ll stay inside ;)

Yay for practicing people potraits again! And it’s colored now :D I already have a long list of ex lovers more people to draw for practice, since I’m off college for the next two months! Gotta make the most of the time to sharpen my eye-observation skills. I made everything with pencils, just like my other practices, but I just realized how much noise it produced after being scanned, so I have to retouch it in Photoshop. I would love to hear if any of you know how to handle the noise problem :) 

March 2015 I've always loved her since she went public around her wedding with Prince William. Not only her features, I also love how she radiates natural grace, beauty, and sophistication. I mean, she wasn't a royal in the first place, but she can carry herself to that level of attitude. *claps*

February 2015 The fact that 99% of calico cats are female made me think that they should be the new symbol of feminism. They're blessed with the richness of their natural color (which they can pass into hundreds generations of cats to come) and with strong instincts of a mother and a hunter.

August 2014 Made this for Lea Michele's birthday present, hahaha. I hope she noticed. Well, she's one of my inspirations, she and her character Rachel Berry. While she claimed that Barbra is her biggest inspiration, then I decided to put them together in a picture, one across another in a similar attitude. Barbra on the left, Lea on the right, the original Fanny and the new Fanny (well, on Glee). It's a good regeneration after all, isn't it?

October 2014 Here's another cat of mine, Ms. Cali. I was depicting her when she was little and used to sit by the window, her gaze wiping across the landscape. Either she was waiting for someone to come home or she madly dreamed to get out past the glass barrier, no one really knows.
