Previous rewards are available for everyone on my Ko-fi Shop.This year, I’ve been adapting a flower theme and painted daffodils, cherry blossom and peonies so far. For May, the featured flower is Carnation, the flower for the Mother’s day! I also wanted to paint a MerMay challenge for May so I combined the two and came up with this underwater scene. I’m happy how this turned out :) Get this wallpaper set here: https://ko-fi.com/s/e02cb8d25e https://leafbear.com/blog/watercolor-landscape-studies-with-mapcrunch/ Thu, 18 Apr 2024 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/watercolor-landscape-studies-with-mapcrunch/ I love painting landscapes and I’ve made a small sketchbook dedicated to painting landscape studies.

I’ll be moving (again!) at the end of this month. I’ve been running around preparing for the move past two weeks and didn’t manage to paint as much as I’d like. I still have a lot of packing to do, but decided to spend some time to work on this month’s date sheet this evening. It’s done now and you can head over to the freegift page to download it for your personal use. https://leafbear.com/portfolio/paintings/art-exhibitions-2018/ Sat, 06 Oct 2018 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/portfolio/paintings/art-exhibitions-2018/ Paintings featured in shows and exhibitions https://leafbear.com/blog/october-free-date-sticker-sheet/ Tue, 02 Oct 2018 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/october-free-date-sticker-sheet/ The October free date sticker sheet is now ready! I tried something different for this month’s date sticker sheet. Instead of drawing individual items, I’m painting them all together as a whole! I first painted a paper with indigo, leaf green, and violet watercolors. I then added scribbles with fountain pen and metallic pen. I also added some alphabet stamps, hoping to create a collage feel for each sticker. https://leafbear.com/blog/sketch-your-desk/ Tue, 18 Sep 2018 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/sketch-your-desk/ I received an email from #mymoleskine a few days ago, telling me that someone is following my work on their web site. I got curious and went to check it out; and was pleasantly surprised that an old drawing of mine that I submitted for the #sketchyourdesk challenge is now used as the feature image of the challenge! The drawing was done in 2014, more than 4 years ago, on my Moleskien Watercolor Sketchbook! Well, I’ve now moved to a new place, but I’m still using the same desk and the same iMac! It was a fun challenge, I might do another one if I could find some time this week :) https://leafbear.com/blog/september-sticker-datesheet/ Wed, 12 Sep 2018 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/september-sticker-datesheet/ It has been a busy week and I’ve only managed to work out the September sticker date sheet for you now! I decided to re-use some of the Leafbear’s Stationary Line Stickers in this month’s date sheet because September is #backtoschool time and buy new #stationary time! :) https://leafbear.com/blog/august-date-sticker-sheet/ Thu, 02 Aug 2018 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/august-date-sticker-sheet/ I’ve created this August date sheet This time the theme is about summer and I hope you’ll enjoy it!

I’ve worked on is the “Girls in the Universe” series (shown above). I had fun randomly applying colors onto the paper, and then worked out the details using negative painting techniques. https://leafbear.com/blog/march-aceos/ Thu, 21 Apr 2016 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/march-aceos/ A late update on my ACEO project – I managed to finish a total of 54 ACEOs in March! I was experimenting with different papers and different art materials. It was fun just to paint whatever I feel like whenever I feel like, but after doing that randomly for the past 3 months, I think I need to be a little more focus and working on some series instead of making a lot of individual pieces… and I need some time to think what I’d like to focus on…it’s hard to decide…… https://leafbear.com/blog/mini-book/ Sat, 19 Mar 2016 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/mini-book/ I made a mini book with drawings of Tommy the Tiger!

We arrived at the Larkin bus terminal around 2:30pm on that day, and bought tickets for the 3pm bus to KL. However, the bus didn’t take off until almost 4:45pm!! It seems that there were too few people on the bus so they keep delaying while trying to get more people to get on the bus… They even pretend to count the number of people on the bus and took our tickets so that we cannot get off the bus or get refund! How ridiculous…. I drew the bus terminal building and the bus next to us while waiting… https://leafbear.com/blog/little-india-2/ Sat, 27 Jul 2013 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/little-india-2/ Little India is one of the liviest places in SG, it is so sketch-able that I keep going back… I sketched these back in May when parents were in town and we took them to shop and sketch around Tekka market, I finally found time to add in the color earlier this month.. https://leafbear.com/blog/bookillustration/ Mon, 22 Jul 2013 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/bookillustration/ Earlier in June, I was busy working on 20+ illustrations for this book called《觀城記－－做個有情有義的香港人》, written by 天航 and published by {格子盒作室 | gezi workstation}.

Did not bring the camera this time, just a small sketchbook and a pen. It was great to see family and friends again, but the trip was too short. https://leafbear.com/blog/if-hurry/ Sat, 02 Jun 2012 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/if-hurry/ This week’s Illustration Friday’s topic is ‘Hurry!’. The first thing that pop up in my mind is the white rabbit in Alice in wonderland. “Hurry! Hurry!” said the white rabbit, “Time is running out! I must run against time!” https://leafbear.com/blog/weeds-in-the-garden-2/ Sat, 02 Jun 2012 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/weeds-in-the-garden-2/ Summer is here and the weeds in the garden are in full bloom! I picked a few of them to draw, and stamp on my garden sketchbook. A bit messy but I think the prints look quite nice :) https://leafbear.com/blog/if-faded/ Fri, 01 Jun 2012 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/if-faded/ The following is my interpretation for last week’s Illustration Friday topic “faded”. I drew a simple girl figure in Photoshop, added layers of texture and played with different custom brushes. Love the postcard texture from bittbox. https://leafbear.com/blog/360-view/ Wed, 30 May 2012 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/360-view/ Drew this on a very hot afternoon, it was so hot that I don’t want to leave the room because it has air conditioning. I was bored and wanted to sketch, but there isn’t much interesting things to sketch in this very ordinary room, so I came up with this – draw the 360 view of the room. I added in the color in Photoshop later after scanning the sketch. https://leafbear.com/blog/watercolor-experiment/ Fri, 25 May 2012 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/watercolor-experiment/ i had so much fun playing with the watercolor set, just experimenting with different color combinations and see which one i like best… hmm….still couldn’t decide… https://leafbear.com/blog/if-sight/ Thu, 24 May 2012 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/if-sight/ i see a bear… sight https://leafbear.com/blog/if-kernel/ Thu, 17 May 2012 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/if-kernel/ kernel… kernel https://leafbear.com/blog/littleindia/ Wed, 16 May 2012 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/littleindia/ Little India is such a colorful place to sketch, and you won’t run out of topics! Last Sat, I joined another sketching session at Buffalo Road, Little India organized by Master Chan Chang How. It was another fruitful session, Master Chan showed me how to sketch people, he was really fast and his sketch captured the motion and the form so nicely! The two persons in the sketch in the middle were done by Master Chan, I added them to my sketch with Photoshop :P He also showed me how to sketch the leaves in the drawing on the right, and helped me to add some darker parts to the drawing so that it’ll pop. https://leafbear.com/blog/food-around-the-world/ Tue, 15 May 2012 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/food-around-the-world/ Japanese sushi, Chinese noodles, French crepe, Mexico taco, USA hotdog, Indian curry, Swedish meatball, English fish and chips… which one is your favorite? https://leafbear.com/blog/happy-mothers-day/ Sun, 13 May 2012 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/happy-mothers-day/ A little drawing for my dear Mom, wish you happy and healthy everyday.

Master Chan is one of the most excellent watercolor painters in Singapore, and it was a very valuable experience to sketch with him. He is a very warm and generous person, volunteer to organize a sketching session like this to share his knowledge in sketching and painting. It was really helpful to see him demonstrate how our sketches could be improved. A very inspiring session indeed. https://leafbear.com/blog/if-hitched/ Fri, 11 May 2012 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/if-hitched/ this week’s IF… hitched https://leafbear.com/blog/little-india/ Tue, 08 May 2012 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/little-india/ Sketching at the Subway sandwiches store at the Verge.

However, the canvas size is too small for the free version, and the image looks kinda blur when you view it on the computer. https://leafbear.com/blog/capitol-building/ Fri, 16 Mar 2012 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/capitol-building/ Finally drew the Capitol Building on a rainy afternoon.

Last week, after having lunch at Boat Quay, I walked across the bridge to join other sketchers around the Asian Civilisations Museum to sketch. I sat outside this IndoChine restaurant, which is located at one wing of the ACM. I think there was a banquet or function going on, as I kept hearing musics and people singing while I sketch. https://leafbear.com/blog/if-vanity/ Mon, 21 Nov 2011 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/if-vanity/ bunny acting vain~ IF: vanity https://leafbear.com/blog/goodwood-park-hotel/ Wed, 16 Nov 2011 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/goodwood-park-hotel/ Finally sketched the Goodwood Park Hotel, where we had our sinful high tea buffet.

It was my first time there and found many interesting things to sketch. Almost every building is so sketch-able I didn’t know where to start! I ended up at the junction of Duxton Hill and Duxton Road where there are some tree shades, and I decided to sketch this little shop across the road. It just stand out from others – the color, the flag and the sign board – looks like a cute store. It was only much later that I found this is a bookstore called ‘Littered with books’, and many sketchers had sketched it too. I should pay it a visit next time I’m around there. https://leafbear.com/blog/if-scary/ Sat, 29 Oct 2011 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/if-scary/ watch out – scary rabbit is here! scary rabbit https://leafbear.com/blog/balestier-road/ Fri, 28 Oct 2011 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/balestier-road/ Joined USKSG for a weekday sketchwalk at Balestier Road yesterday afternoon. It has been raining almost every afternoon this past week, and yesterday was no exception. It started raining once we stepped out of Loy Kee, the chicken rice restaurant. Once we arrived at our first location, the Sun Yat Sen Nanyang Memorial Hall, it started pouring. The Memorial Hall is now a museum, and I ended up spending more than an hour inside the museum before I started sketching. https://leafbear.com/blog/deepavali/ Wed, 26 Oct 2011 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/deepavali/ “Deepavali, which literally means “row of lights,” is celebrated by Hindus across the world and is the most important festival in Hinduism.

Instead of sketching on our own, we were challenged to collaborate with other sketchers on a panoramic sketch of Club Street. I teamed up with a new friend, Chao, and did the following piece. I didn’t think much about it when I started, luckily Chao did some magic and put the drawing into the right perspective and some nice composition. I then went back to Club Street on Monday morning to finish off the last part of the sketch. It was a good learning experience and I really enjoyed sketching with others! https://leafbear.com/blog/nationallibrary/ Wed, 28 Sep 2011 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/nationallibrary/ Library is always a good place to sketch people.

We first did some thumbnail sketches, then we were given an hour to go back to one of the thumbnail locations to paint a larger piece. I liked the idea of thumbnail sketches and the multiple sharing sessions that we had, there were more interactions among the participants for sure. https://leafbear.com/blog/simple-dinner/ Sun, 14 Aug 2011 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/simple-dinner/ Drawing our dinner… simple dinner https://leafbear.com/blog/staedtler-triplus-fineliner/ Sun, 14 Aug 2011 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/staedtler-triplus-fineliner/ Got a pack of Staedtler triplus fineliner (0.3mm, 6 colors) from Popular Book store for S$4. I tested it on a yellow color memo pad. It bleeds to the back of the page, and even the next page if you did not move the pen fast enough. The ink is not waterproof too. Out of the 6 colors in the pack (black, blue, red, green, purple, orange), I like the orange color most. https://leafbear.com/blog/abad-day-52-van-bear/ Fri, 12 Aug 2011 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/abad-day-52-van-bear/ V for Van.

This time it was a whole day event, but I only managed to join the afternoon session. The first stop after having lunch at the Funan was the Central Fire Station. It is definitely one of the most challenging buildings I’ve drawn. I got caught in the details and spent more than an hour to draw just one tower of the building… https://leafbear.com/blog/abad-day-50-tram-bear/ Mon, 08 Aug 2011 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/abad-day-50-tram-bear/ T for Tram.

Still loved the food – you can tell from how much I ate. But we really should not go back there again so soon, all the good foods made me feel guilty! https://leafbear.com/blog/woodlands-train-checkpoint/ Mon, 01 Aug 2011 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/woodlands-train-checkpoint/ We need to pick up a guest at the Woodlands train station two weeks ago so we went there for the first time, but it was a horrible experience. First, we waited more than 30 minutes for the bus. Then, we got caught in a traffic jam and the bus moved very slowly, it took us more than 75 minutes to get to Woodlands. The worst part is, we did not get off the bus at the right station because a lot of people got on the bus at Kranji and totally blocked our view/way. Before we knew, we were already at the Immigration Tower where we were asked to show our passports! Of course we did not have passports with us, as we had no intention of going across the border and just want to go to the train station. But there is no way out from there, and we had to ask the security guard/immigration officer for help. Finally, we had to hand in our IDs to the officers there, and wait for an armed guard/officer to escort us through the tower. We waited for around 30 minutes before an officer came. We were then took to a room where we had to wait again for our IDs to be checked. I cannot believe what we had gone through! It was well passed 7pm when we finally get to the train station, when we were supposed to be there at 5:30. We decided to take a cab back after picking up our guest, and it only took us around 25 min to be back in town. https://leafbear.com/blog/nando-and-vivocity/ Fri, 29 Jul 2011 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/nando-and-vivocity/ Nando is famous for its peri-peri chicken. We were at their Bugis store a few times and quite like their food. This time, we tried the one at PlazaSingapura. For some reasons, the foods don’t seem to be as good. I also ordered a ‘refreshing mint’ drink, and it was SO sour – I can hardly taste the mint but lime juice. I guess we should just go back to Bugis next time. https://leafbear.com/blog/abad-day-45-outrigger-canoe-bear/ Thu, 21 Jul 2011 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/abad-day-45-outrigger-canoe-bear/ O for outrigger canoe. outrigger canoe bear https://leafbear.com/blog/abad-day-44-narrowboat-bear/ Wed, 20 Jul 2011 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/abad-day-44-narrowboat-bear/ N for Narrowboat.

My friend took me there for Laksa last time. This time, it already passed lunch time when I arrived, and all the laksa and prawn noodles were sold out. I ordered a cup of ‘hot tea’, which is actually milk tea, so that I can sit down and sketch. While sketching, I overheard the ladies in front saying that this place has very nice Nonya desserts too. https://leafbear.com/blog/fairprice/ Tue, 19 Jul 2011 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/fairprice/ This is the entrance of FairPrice at Coronation Plaza.

There was even a big crowd at the entrance of an underpass and people need to line up to get in! It’s that crazy! ! It was about dinner time when we were at Takashimaya, so we went to the food court to look for food. Needless to say, there were lineups everywhere and no free table at the food court at all. We decided to go somewhere for dinner, and we found this little cafe called PiqueNique on our way out. It has some interesting decorations – large tins of milk bottles were hanging on the walls. We were seated at the middle of a long table as this is the only available spot left, and there was a cute glass bottle on the table, with a paper tag in it. The letters ‘LTM’ were printed on the tag. I drew these sketches while waiting for my food – ‘big breakfast cheese burgers with fries’, which costs $12 before tax/service charge. https://leafbear.com/blog/abad-day-43-moped-bear/ Mon, 18 Jul 2011 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/abad-day-43-moped-bear/ M for Moped.

The colors are bright, and the best thing is you can make both thin and thick lines with it, by holding the pen at different angle.. The only problem is, like most other marker pens, the color will bleed through the paper easily, so you need a thicker paper to draw on. https://leafbear.com/blog/tiongbahrucommunitysketchwalk/ Sat, 16 Jul 2011 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/tiongbahrucommunitysketchwalk/ It was a very hot day last sunday. Everyone’s out sketching already when I finally arrived at the White Canvas Gallery. It was so hot that I decided to stay inside the gallery and check out the exhibition first. There were so many lovely sketches. After cooling down, I went outside to look for other sketchers, and found Tia being surrounded by a bunch of people. I joined them and watched Tia starting on her second sketch. It was so inspiring to watch an artist work. I thought I was just gonna watch, but then decided to get my sketchbook out and start drawing too. I managed to finish two sketches. Colors were added at home later. https://leafbear.com/blog/abad-day-42-limo-bear/ Fri, 15 Jul 2011 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/abad-day-42-limo-bear/ L for Limousine.

As Makoto Nagasawa said in his book 《線條速寫上達術》， “when you continue to draw, you can discover your own style after you’ve finished 30 or 50 drawings”, I am hoping to explore a new style. This past month, I mainly focused on using Photoshop – playing with different brushes and textures to make it more interesting. There are still a lot to learn and to try out, I think I shall continue the project in July and see how things go.. https://leafbear.com/blog/abad-day-29-starry-bear/ Thu, 30 Jun 2011 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/abad-day-29-starry-bear/ bear catching a star~ Starry Bear https://leafbear.com/blog/abad-day-30-sailing-bear/ Thu, 30 Jun 2011 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/abad-day-30-sailing-bear/ sail sail sail bear is sailing away~ Sailing Bear https://leafbear.com/blog/abad-day-28-ballet-bear/ Tue, 28 Jun 2011 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/abad-day-28-ballet-bear/ dance dance dance bear the ballet dancer~ Ballet Bear https://leafbear.com/blog/abad-day-27-bagbear/ Mon, 27 Jun 2011 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/abad-day-27-bagbear/ bear wearing her new bag~ Bag Bear https://leafbear.com/blog/colorful-oranges/ Mon, 27 Jun 2011 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/colorful-oranges/ playing with colors colorful oranges https://leafbear.com/blog/little-india-sketchwalk/ Mon, 27 Jun 2011 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/little-india-sketchwalk/ Joined USK Singapore for the Little India sketchwalk. We arrived late, as usual; but this time we couldn’t see sketchers everywhere. We tried to find the group but I guess Little India is actually not that ‘little’, we had no idea where did everyone go. After wandering around for a while, I decided to stay at the Little India Arcade to sketch as it started raining. Only managed to do two sketches, one was the flower shops on the Campbell Lane, and the other was a corner shop at the Little India Arcade. There were so much to see there, and everything is so colorful – the houses, the shops, the street, the people. I should go back to sketch more later. Added the colors later at home, and scanned the sketches with my brand new scanner – yummy colors! https://leafbear.com/blog/pottery-class/ Mon, 27 Jun 2011 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/pottery-class/ I had my first pottery class at Tanglin CC last week, it was fun!
