The Day I Went To London Again | Illustration


Two weeks later from the Halloween's Day, i went to London with the university yesterday, again! We went to British Library as they have the exhibition showing of Terror and Wonder, The Gothic Imagination. This is really as a research for the competition project, three horror stories.

It was quite dark exhibition inside but it was interesting, unfortunately photographing was not allowed. With the technique styles and illustrations had inspired me for the concepts of illustration, especially from that illustration on Exhibition Guide bouche.

We then went to The British Museum, not far from the British Library, they hold the exhibition of Witches and Wicked Bodies. Even though i looked through the displays but not took some photos, i got distracted by the Japanese displays and took some. I did that because i need some inspiration of Japanese bird and nature arts, and styles for my FMP. Here are some photographs i took.


The Japanese birds and nature arts had been in my inspiration and influence list since i was in school, doing my GCSE art.





I spotted in St Pancras have little gallery history of Beanotown, display of the comic book covers in every decades. I remember my dad had some of these comic collection of Beanotown when he was a young boy, i always read it whenever i visited to my grandparents i was younger.
 P.s. sorry about the blur from first photo.

The Monarch | Illustration

The Milkweed butterfly, also in another name of the Monarch butterfly, inspired me when I watched BBC's Spy in the Wild Series 2 in February. In episode 2 "The North", in this scene located the mountain in West Mexico, with the Spy Hummingbird capturing the place that's considered the world's most beautiful natural gathering, where the Monarch butterflies hibernated during the winter. It was Spring, the Spy hummingbird flying around millions of butterflies resting on the oyamel fir trees (I just looked it up of what kind of tree because I can't remember what it was, hehe). When the sunshine on them, warmed their delicate wings, then started to fly. And when they fly, it was absolutely spectacular, all orange and flow through the trees. I imagined myself in there, underneath them and watching them as they migrate to North. I felt calm and delight thinking about it, it was awe-inspiring. Being called the Milkweed butterfly is because they feed on

Bloom Wildly | Illustration

It's nearly the end of May, the weather for the last week of the month has been sun shining and over 22c of temperature, such lovely weather. So yesterday, I have been painting the dog rose flowers, that just blossomed nearly 2 weeks ago! Right now they're blooming quite wildly in my home garden and the front! This bush even grows over the tree, makes it so enchanting it's like in a magical summer garden. And with the wall, this can hang further that I can go underneath it for some shade. This one is new from the front as it hasn't grown there before, so it's the first time seeing this. And it's already climbing up the birch tree! It looks nice to look at through the window, where I work on some arts, plus good for some inspirations to illustrate! Whilst I was painting, I did another timelapse video on this. Seems I find the time-lapse illustrating very fascinating and satisfying, you can see the process in fast speed, rather than the normal speed that'll t
