The mentor project---CSO Magazine

the actual layout

 I believe this is the last project of my college life...no more!! This project is assigned by my mentor Jason Raish who also a FIT graduate and is a working illustrator now. It is really easy working with him and I  want to say thanks to him for helping me. For more of Jason's illustration, please visit his site: www.jasonraish.com

For this project, I need to do a quite boring editorial illustration that the biggest challenge is to make myself enjoy doing it. I experimented many methods to finish it and I 'm actually satisfy with how it comes out.

Jack and the Beanstalk

I also try to put the tittle on it:))

This is another project from the mentor class. I really like the story of Jack and the Beanstalk, and specially, the golden egg. I think this is the first time I paint a boy, I am kind of like him and the beanstalk. The thing that I am not satisfy with is the background landscape. 

Next week, the senior show will open and I just hope everything can be fine and all of my classmates and friends can have a wonderful night!

The show opening is on May 8th and the show will be there until May 22nd. If yo have time, welcome to visit it, it is a good show!

I almost forget to mention here that I got 4 pieces in the show and won the gold metal. Thanks for my family and all of my professor!

In New York City!

The project for Sal's class. Finally, She has her chance to visit the city, which is a new world to her!

Recently, I keep working on projects and I have to admit that I am not productive at all. I think the reason is I worry a lot about the thing after the graduation... which coming very soon.

Besides, I am so disappointed that I cannot get into the student show in the Society of Illustrators...

Anyways, I will keep working.

The Winter Break

(The new member ~)

The winter break will end this week, and the Spring semester will start on next Tuesday. I am super nervous because this is my last semester at FIT. Actually, I want to cry now... I just hope that I can survive in the future!

Year 2012

Happy New Year!!!

Recently, I am working on this painting during the winter break. Actually, the sketch of this painting was done for Sal's class, but I didn't select this one for his project because I knew that I couldn't finish this paintning on time, so I chose to do a much more simple sketch for the project. Since I don't want to waste my sketch, I think it is a good timing to paint it right now.

I do enjoy painting the fur and the hardest part for me is the book. There are so many types that really kill me...Still, I do not satisfy with the type yet. Here, I also made a simple video clip to show the working progress.(some friends wanted to see the progress ) Hope you enjoy!

Boxing Day!

This is my recent life...
