Below's the video I shot for this month's sketchwalk at Circular Road, Singapore, with Urban Sketchers Singapore.

Circular Road is near Singapore River which is one of the oldest areas in Singapore. The place has undergone significant redevelopment. There's quite a variety of shophouse designs around here. If you look above the roofs of the shophouses that line the streets, you'll see many commercial tall buildings, mostly owned by banks, around the area.

It's relatively deserted in the morning during weekends but during evening time when the pubs are open, it will be crowded with drinkers and party goers. And if you head over to the next street by the riverside, there are restaurants serving seafood --- be careful not to get ripped off so always ask for the price in advance.

Steambot Studios need your help to produce an animation. They've put up their project on Kickstarter and you can read the details at https://kck.st/1rhtFmM

One of the gifts of the campaign is an artbook called Genesis of Urbance which features the concept art for the animation. Only 1500 regular editionand 300 Collectors' Edition are produced, and all the Collectors' ones are already gone in just 3 days!

Here's a video that shows how Pixar uses colours in their films. If you study the colour scripts from The Art of Pixar, you'll notice that Pixar pays special attentions to how colours transit from one to another.

I love looking at how art materials are made.

And here's an even older video at how crayons are made. It's from some Sesame Street DVD.

Austin Kleon's first book Steal Like An Artist teaches you how to be creative. In his new book Show Your Work, he teaches you how to promote yourself, a book he says is "for people who hate the very idea of self promotion".
