Sparrow on the Dog Rose Twig | My Artwork on Products | Illustration



Hello!

And a happy new year!

Did you all have a nice start to the new year? 
I actually missed Christmas, that festive vibes, all finished until the next 11 months.

Anyway, about my 'delay' post that I have started a year ago, well here it is!  The reason is I have that one, a Christmas gift for my uncle, was a new idea of products that I want to include on here, you'll see when you read through. I believe this is going to be a long blog post. Hehe.

 First thing first, I have made a video of my artwork!


So snazzy, isn't it? Hehe

An inspiration of watching sparrows flying around the feeders, a lot of them hiding behind all these leaves of the bushes I have in my garden, waiting a turn to perch on the feeders, it was like playing hide and seek when I was bird watching.

Thinking about it, this has been the busiest time when I was working on this artwork. I actually started in late June or early July in 2020! First foster dog happened, returned to work after lockdown happened, my sister's dog sitting back on business happened. I was struggling to get back onto this artwork to finish it off, because of all the change and distraction in short of space. I have been painting other artworks, as they were either straightforward to paint or the theme of the month.

I have finally finished painting this, I'm guessing it was in September time.

Here are a few photographs of painting processes and close up;








That time when this painting sat on my desk easel, my mum walked by and stop to look at it, she thought the sparrow looks very sweet and the painting was lovely. I thought I could have this original artwork to make a copy onto a product, I decided this to be printed on a tote/shopping bag.

Here's a finished product!





I also added a personalised message at the back of the bag, said "Love You Mum Love Laura".

To tell you the truth, it was not fun to do a product photoshoot. I don't have the proper equipment as I only have my Samsung phone with a wobbly phone tripod, a natural light by the sunlight when it was very bright, me being an awkward model and foster dog nosy around the room. On the bright side, no pun intended, the wallpaper makes the whole photos look nicer with the product. Hehe.

I'm including the behind scene of my clumsy effort for product photography, just for the laugh.



As a result, I gifted it to my mum on Christmas day and she loved the personalised tote bag.

Then I had another idea, a most common product of the copies of original artwork, a wall art. This time a gift for my uncle.

Here's wall art in size A2.




My uncle proudly displayed this in his new house!


After I have been doing this project, I have a plan with all of my artworks, using the same way as these two products and other things as well!


Thanks for reading and have a nice day, evening, or night!

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...
