Nth Years Drawings

Two posts back, I mentioned that I was having some Big Clean-up at home. In this kinda time, tonnes of Nth years memories would come back haunting me. From words I wrote, things that my friends wrote, books I read, sketches, old toys, useful stuff, and useless stuff. Kinda get overwhelmed by a sense of 怀旧感. (grr~ I am seriously getting old)

And among these stuff, I have a sketchbook full of memories! This sketchbook is one of my birthday present, I guess should be 12th year old B'day pressie (evidence that I am horribly 怀旧.. eiks~), from one of my very good friend of that time. I am very glad I did started sketching and drawing in it. This is one of the best-used-present I received. (usually I just "keep". and alot of them become 英雄无用武之地)

The sketchbook. Age: 9 years old!

And today, I scanned some of the pictures that I drew Nth years ago, to post them in this blog. One of the reason is that I'm afraid another Nth years may make my pictures unrecognisable. They are so old that the paper is turning yellowish le. A softcopy in my laptop, and another virtual copy on net may be better to preserve the ancient stuff. (eikks~ tell me! not only old people think this way right.) This is a few of them... takes time to scan and post... abit lazy... plus more importantly, I'm not so satisfied with the rest... or maybe not nice... these arent very very good also... eiks.. whatever it it... here's a few of those.

This is from 《浪客心》, quite popular anime years ago.
Nope, I didnt read that, my evil bro read, I only borrow to draw.
And yes, the pic is originally Black&White, drawn using pencils, not photoshoped.

Another pencil drawing.
If you scrutinize enough, the picture was drawn in 1999!

Portrait! Got my fingers blackish from all the shading.

If you think I only draw B&W stuff, nope! This is coloured, using colourpencils.
The baby and bathtube man is from Singtel advertisment. (of course, Nth years ago adverts, if you can remember)

This is from 《七龙珠》DragonBall!!! So ancient right!
Think the girl is called ah-bao, the pink colour creature I forgot le.

Yup Yup, that'a all folks! Wonder how come I ve so much time to draw all that. I must be super 无聊 and "eng" last time... But I can still visualise the wu-liao 13-year-old JiaYee drawing in the living room. Shoo-ing evil bro away to not disturb her. And the 13-year-old feel in the pictures... still 青涩, and young... (ARGH~~~~~ I am sounding like an OLD~~~ lady. ROAR!) Anyway, I doubt I still can draw anything like that now. Good chemical engineer can only draw rectangles and schemetics of reactors and distillation columns now. Boo~
