After seeing your work and you telling me that I have all the fundamentals, I realise that doing these stylised, Victorian era etchings can only serve me so far. I have only ever drawn with feeling and not with mind. Now, a balance of both serves me and I think it will lead to freer and more expressive works. A loosening of my obsessive methods. Sure, it is a distinctive style but it does not permit me many directions due to a variety of reasons.Chuang Shyue Chouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03497292334309793651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8888336917026597401.post-10525550726840565902010-08-23T12:22:29.659+08:002010-08-23T12:22:29.659+08:00I have an idea now of a more exaggerated form.

It's quite unique the structure of the actual building, it's exactly the way it is in the illustration, a pointed sharp corner. Not a 90 degree corner, more like 45 maybe.Mitchellnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8888336917026597401.post-89132463848107708162010-08-20T10:00:16.957+08:002010-08-20T10:00:16.957+08:00Thank you Carla.

For one, my best artistic endeavour has to be stick figures so I admire anyone who can draw well. <br /><br />I've moved to blogspot since it's more customizable. If you don't mind a whole lot of girly fashion posts and an occasional musing, come visit me :)<br /><br />So back to the singlehood subject, does the father subject you to blind dates and push you into the neighbour's daughter's way?
