Boxing Day!

This is my recent life...

Tragic

mix media(7"x14")

mix media(7"x14")

We need to do a sequential project for the WorkShop Class... I have created 7 pieces for the project but I just scan my favorites...haha. Basically, I used the skill that I learned from Sonja to finish the entire project. I like how it comes out and I specially like the texture.

A new creature

(digital)

This is the only assignment we need to do for the Documentary Class, create a new creature.

After the rain...

oil on gesso board(12"x16")

The painting for Kam's Class. Indeed, I paint this tiny girl again and many people suggest I should write a story about her.

Gaia

oil on gesso board(12"x18")

This project is assigned by my mentor, Kinuko Craft. I need to portray the earth goddess, Gaia. I really like working with Kinuko, because I think her suggestion is always very constructive and helps the painting a lot.

P.S. I updated my website, http://phoenixchanillustration.webs.com

Art Deco Poster

In the Workshop Class, we need to do a NYC travel poster in Art Deco Style. I think this is the most difficult project in this semester...many reasons for that. First, I don't know what is art deco style; secondly, after I know what is art deco, I do not like the style; thirdly, it is absolutely different from my work, I don't know how to make it works at all. But I tried to keep a positive attitude, open to new thing and see it as a learning experience. In short, I think I do my best for it. At Last, thanks for Steven, the art director who works for Disney, helped the class for the project and gave us critique during our class.

Yeah!! I got four artworks in the CMYK magazine. Thanks for all my professors:))

Time and Again

oil on gesso board (11"x14")

I finished this project long time ago, just didn't got chance to scan this one... it was the first project for the Workshop Class, we needed to recreate the book cover for the book" Time & Again"

Music Fairy

oil on gesso board (12"x 12")

The project for Mentor Class, we need to do a project about music. If I have more time for this project, I will definitely put more flowers and small fairies in the painting.

Untitled yet...

13"x 26"(oil on gesso board)

The personal project for the Mentor Class. I take this tiny girl as my subject matter again...I like the wall background.

Bathing Time

oil on gesso board(12"x16")

This is the project for the Mentor Class. I like the color of this painting a lot and the way I paint the bubbles. I hope I can have a black or grey cat...

Gumball Machine

11"x22"(ink&oil on watercolor paper)

The summer break was over...back to school, starts my senior year.

want to dance once more time...

oil on gesso board (12" x 16")

sketch and under toned painting

I sketched out this painting in the last semester, but just never got a chance to paint it.

I try to use color scheme that I seldom use, such as the blue, purple, green. Specially, I almost never use any purple in my painting....I don't know why, it just happens naturally.

Besides, I think I am addicted to make my own gesso, it is just so enjoyable.

The naughty cat

16" x 20" (oil on gesso board)

(sketch)

The summer is really hot...today is 103°F!!!

Recently, I am working on this painting, it will be finished very soon.

I hope I can paint one or two more in this summer.

Obviously, the painting is about a cat is trying to

catch this tiny girl. Will the cat succeed?

p.s. thanks for Kam's critique

Clean up

Whenever I want to give up, I will clean up my room and look at my doll collection. Then, start over again.

Rainy Day II

Digital(By Photoshop)

I like this girl's face a lot and I got critic from a famous senior student(Chase Stone) during the class! HAHA^^b

The 6th semester is over, the summer holiday starts. I think I should be happy because I can relax and has some funs, but I feel sad actually. I want to keep working and busy till the end of my life. I think this kind of busy life confirms my existence and gives some kind of meanings to my life. If I am not working, I am nothing at all.

In this semester, I think I do improve but not a lot...I definitely need more hardworking and should challenge myself more, never hold back. Because next year I will be the senior and I have to compare to the professional soon. I don't want to pressure myself too much but just need to keep working and make the process enjoyable, keep it as a part of the daily life, and I think that's enough.

Besides, I should start show my works to some potential clients. But my low self esteem is just a problem...

The 2D Class Final~

It is really a fun class!

Book Illustration

oil on board(11"x24")

This painting is for the Book Illustration Class. My story is called "My Dream Doll".
I like this painting because I can paint a lot of cats. However, I think I can control the color sheme better next time.

Perception

Oil on board (12.5"x 5.75")

Assignment for Vincent DiFate's class. His class was so amazing and I think I will miss him a lot.

The Bird Nest

Oil on board(16"x 20")

Actually, I don't know what to say about this painting... but I like it a lot^^b

p.s. I update my website finally

The Act of Rescuing

The second project from Sonja's class. There are so many projects need to do in her class...we almost need to finish a project within 2 weeks. I think it is a good practice of time management...now, I sketch out idea much more quick than before. Thanks for her class^^"

exercise in the class

The Green Heart Factory

ink&oils (20"x30")

The Green Heart Factory-guarantee all items are made with love

The project from Sonja's Class. I didn't really like it in the beginning, but after I finished it, it just looks so good to me...I think all we need is patient.

Recently, it is just so busy...never having such a busy semester before...can't breathe.

Handcuffed

oil on canvas(16"x20")

----------------------------------------------------

some details

My recent personal work that I did during the winter break. This is the first time I paint oil on canvas surface and I think it is a better working surface than the gesso board. Besides, I really like the oval shape canvas and it gives me more passionate to finish it.

Overall, this painting depicts a clock and there is a girl who is handcuffed, trapped inside the clock. The skeleton/gear of the clock contains some star symbols of the solar system, such as the sun, moon, earth, venus, pluto...Besides, may be you can't really notice from the photo, there is a wallpaper as the background, I spend a lot of time on painting that wallpaper.
