Lennon Sketchy

I made this a long long time ago. I saw inside an old folder earlier today. A quick pic then a quick post. Ayun.

Charcoal Memories

I made this charcoal baby portrait March of 2007. I gave this as birthday gift.


And, I made another baby charcoal drawing on September the 29th of 2007. I remember finishing the portrait inside 3 hours 'coz my nephew is celebrating his 8th month birthday that afternoon of 29th.




...and you'll feel getting old if in a snap (some 2 years), the babies in charcoal are now two kid-cousins, all grown up. Both not yet ready court little girls but surely quite a handle for their lola and two yayas.

Getting Back To Charcoal

It’s been almost a year since I have drawn something. Last March and April, I gave two portraits to my 2 nieces. One, for cracking the top five or top ten in her class and the other, for graduating elementary. To say the least, I was not happy with my work but I wrapped it anyways and gave both.

Fast forward today, this time it’s my nephew’s (BOY I AM GETTING OLD) turning one year old tomorrow. I no longer can’t think of gift to give so I decided to pick up the charcoal one again and do one portrait. Besides, it’ll save me P1000 or so by just making a heart-felt, sentimentally made portrait.

Thus, after lunch earlier, around 2 PM, I started to work on this. At 7:30 pm, I got this thing done. Tomorrow, I got to run to ATC just to get a off-the-rack frame for this. The size would be around that of a legal bond paper.



(You know what? I’m sure this is just not me. While drawing or painting in the real-world, every time I make erroneous stroke, my mind tends to look for an UNDO button.)

I have decided to re-kindle my so-called craft. And so, aside from posting basketball stuff like KOBE’s Company, Sam Smith Gone Wild and Dead Online PBA Ending Game Plan, I have decided to do some real-time visual arts as well.
