Flying Through The Glittery Snow | Illustration


A robin flying through the snowfalls.


Thinking about the snow, even for Christmas although it's rarely happened. The last time I remember it was snowed on Christmas Day was 8 years ago. This December is Wet December, it has been rained very often, I had a feeling it's going to be Wet Christmas on Christmas Day, but I recently checked the weather forecast that they predict it'll be sunny Christmas Day. I wouldn't mind frosty weather as it's almost Christmassy, snowing would be nice too.


Whilst I was painting this, I had been thinking something wintery and/or Christmassy, a glitter vinyl that called to mind. It's a silver glitter vinyl I've found as a sample and I thought that can make it snowfall shape, I planned to use it on my paintings and here it is.


I tried to get some previews of glitter reflection from the bulb-light, this result doesn't seem to work as I hoped. So then I waited for the next day for natural light.


The results still the same, couldn't get some glitters to show clearly. As I've mentioned, the weather in December is mostly rain and dark cloud. So I'm not going to wait for the sunshine to appear. Oh well, that's winter, got to go with it.



Last but not least, here's a blooper of behind the scene.


I thought I could get some better reflection from that position, by using the tripod clasp, doesn't grip well. Whoops. 
P.s Excuse the mess from my workspace. 

Thanks for reading and have a nice day.

And... 5 days to go!

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
