my sketches

This is a sketch while waiting at the Johor Bahru Immigration area. The time was 12.44pm and the queue took 1.5 hours. If you want to go to JB from Singapore, I advised you to be at Krangi MRT before 10am, preferably before 9.30am, or even earlier. The crowd at the MRT station seems to grow really quick from 10am onwards.

"Elephant dung don't smell because they are vegetarians", said someone behind me in the queue. It's quite funny to hear what other people talk about to while waiting in the queues.

Lately, I've been neglecting my watercolours. I'm trying to sketch as much with the fountain pens that I'm using at the moment.

Here are some sketches drawn today.

This was on the train. The red ink is Iroshizuku but I can't remember which colour because they have too many colours with Japanese names. The colours is nice, but using it alone is a bit glaring.

This was at City Hall MRT station. Drawing walking people is just too difficult.

I was at City Hall on my way to Esplanade to enjoy a free concert performed by the Raffles Alumni Chinese Orchestra. They are quite good. This was drawn inside the concert hall.

It wasn't ticketed and a long queue was formed outside the concert hall about 45 minutes before the starting time. The good thing was the queue moved quickly and the performance started close to the stated time. Check out the Esplanade website for more of such free events. I always though the free stuff happen at the concourse area.

This was dinner at the hawker centre just outside and beside the Esplanade, towards the Marina floating platform. Food prices are quite alright.

Sketching at the newly renovated Victoria Theatre and Concert Hall in Singapore. Only had time for a black and white piece with Artgraf water-soluble graphite.

Usually, I do not draw back lit subjects, but today, why not.

And I've finally finished using the last piece of the Strathmore 300 Series watercolour. Review to come soon.
