Charcoal Portrait Drawing For Event
Did charcoal portrait drawing for a dinner and dance in Mandarin Hotel last week.
There are not much portrait artist doing live drawing for event because portrat drawing need a strong fine art base and live drawing for event really need to be done in a limited time frame.
Ivan was doing wire craft in this event.
Nice door prob design.

Artists "Gathering"!
It was super cool that I did a private event for a new office opening and met many other professional portraits during this event!
From left: Chong Jit Leong (our artist team leader for this event), Ruoshi Ye & Kamal Dollah, Me, Padam, Hock Lee, Poon Ee Way and Reggie Wan.
We had been requested to draw serious portrait during the event due to the theme, no photo to be taken, so you only see our group photo here :p
Always great to work with people I know.
Hm...did we looks like a band?
Nope, we are professional artists! heehee!

I passing by Orchard road few time and saw this China lady doing portrait down there, seems her business was quiet good while surrounding by lot people and seems she also having quiet a numbers orders which drawing from the photographs.
Other China artist can be found in Orchard including the China lady who plays the Chinese traditional instrument like ‘gu zhen’ or ‘phi pa’ sort of strings music instruments. There also a acrobatics mini troupe from Mongolia.

Still Life drawing
To improve your drawing skill, one of the training was doing still live drawing, it train the basic scale, lighting, the skill how you observe the objects, the angle and how you crop the picture and draw it in your artwork. A real artist able to present what you want your audience to see; a draftsman just only able copy or trace the object on the drawing paper.
I did these still life series in 1994 in pencil, that’s a bit boring to me but can’t deny it is a good training to me.

Portrait Drawing
Portrait drawing was one of the most difficult job, because it involved lots human factors; sometime not because how good your skill are, it’s depend on how good of the person’s artistic level that being drawn.
After you take so many afford to draw it, the person being drawn might not like it yet they said your drawing totally does not looks like at all; I believes any portrait artists will face this problem at all unless you are an artist that really famous in the world.
Basically, I realized that what you see is what you get, but what you see may not easily draw thru your hand unless you are real genius. I took many years to achieve this level although I still not that good yet.
Tracing is a method to correct your mistake on the scaling during portrait drawing, but that was not encouraging to use this method all the way, because you will steak to this drawing method and you will end up totally cannot draw at all without tracing, in another angle, if you keep doing this way, your are cheating as what my portrait master keep mentioned that: “You are mentality handicap, your are healthy and able to walk and run but wanted to travel with wheel chair, that’s no shame!” That's the words always in my memory.
These are my level in 1991.
ANd my level in 1994

Opening a new Portrait + Caricature Shop at FAR EAST PLAZA
I had been asked many times recently by a very enthusiastic friend that just back from Tokyo to became one of his partner for his portrait + caricature chain shop in one of his branch at FAR EAST PLAZA!
I wondering are you sure this industry really so good? Because every artists have their own style, no way to cover by other artist, because art piece was very unique thing, can’t get other people to draw for you and then you just sign your name, client could found that the artwork was not done by you! He keep mentioned that there’s a way……Ok, let me wait for his opinion to see what will happen and what I can do.
In my view, doing art was not easy in Singapore, because usually local people was more appreciate overseas artist’s art.
I ever heard one senior art event manager’s complaining: “Lots local artists was too stubborn, foreign artists was much creative and talented!”
I think, most artist here was emphasized their personal benefit, an I agreed the art was very personal thing, so it was not easy to form some sort of organization like caricature.org like the state.
