Birthday Card!
8:15 AM
 And this card is significant to me because this is the first time i touched colour pencils since i was a child, and also the first time i am colouring the human form, realistically. To make this card, i also used ribbons, letter-stickers and markers, but that's not the imporant bit. It's very similar to scrapbooking, really. I even drew my mom on a blank sheet of white paper then cut her out and pasted it on the card. Before this card, the only time i used colour pencils was when i was in p4 and was colouring within the lines given. How do i know i was 9? My colourpencil box had my p4 class (4j) written on it, and im very sure i did not touch any in p5, hahahaha!!!!! This card was hard to make because i wasn't very sure with my colour pencil skills. Also, as my colour pencils are ridiculously old, the colour would not rub off on the paper properlly :( So i had to press really hard, which in turn created indents, and made it even harder to colour.. Also, i wasn't very sure how to mix the colours and how exactly to blend 2 colours together. I also could not use pencil to sketch my mom first and then colour over because she would have a pencil outline and no matter how much you erase, there will still be a pencil mark. So i started off with her face, hen her neck and lastly her hair. I remember spending close to 3 hours drawing her and even though it is not perfect, i feel like i captured her happy glow, just like in the photo of her. I truly am proud of myself as to me, this is my first realistic colourpencil work. My mom finally got her answer to why she had to dig out my colour pencils from the store room 3 days before her birthday, and also found out that it wasn't school work. This would be the few out of the many occasions whereby i lied to her and she didn't scold me. But what really meant to me the most, was the smile on her face when she saw the card, I could tell she was really proud of me drawing this and definitely did not regret forcing me to try out for AEP. :) Labels: art works |
