It is 11:31 and tomorrow is the National Day celebration. I am supposed to reach school at 6:35am and I am still awake and doing nothing.

I am kinda into portrait drawings nowadays. Well not really portrait drawings, I am just sketching the outline out and then roughly add in the eyes, ears, nose and mouth. I always dread the part when I had to add the mouth and the nose because it will destroy the entire sketch completely. So everybody, if you are interested please call 92228958, arrange for a meeting place and let me take your picture. I will draw you ROUGHLY and hand it to you a couple of days later.

My target is to draw a portrait so real that even Iqbal and Jauhari will say it is very nice. Right now, Iqbal is laughing at me because of my diastrous attempt to draw someone. Instead of looking like a secondary school student, she look more like a female ghost reincarnated(that's the best exaggeration I can give).

Human beings are so hard to draw, Manga and anime are so easy to draw. No matter how lousy you sketch Manga and anime, they will still look like them because they are cartoon. To capture a person's true beauty in a drawing, is so damn difficult. I got the inspiration of drawing, I mean sketching a person's face from youtube by the way. The video below is how an extremely talented artist draw a portrait of smosh, a famous director for their stupid and funny videos:





This is simply pure talent. Art is actually a wonderful thing, all you need is patience. I just wish I can reach this standard.

Phew I am very tired now. Everybody, I know you are Shao Hua...
