Always a delight to be drawing again for Piaget's guests as they viewed and tried on the watches which was generously donated for an auction at the Singapore Red Cross Benefit Gala in October. Swipe to see more of the portraits drawn live during the event as well as the 2 gorgeous timepieces being donated - the Limelight tonneau-shaped Full Diamond Watch and the Piaget Gouverneur watch.
Always a pleasure drawing the guests of one of my favourite clients. Other than doing what I love most, drawing, at these live Illustration sessions, , I always look forward to the interesting conversations with the people I meet. I am quite capable of drawing and painting and my eyes on the paper in front of me at the same time while still having a chat about fashion and art (of course!), music, travel and even C-dramas. Anything, as long as it is not politics and finance!
This has got to be one of the most fun projects that I have done. From designing the concept of featuring each of the Special Edition Bvlgari Parfums Omnia Candy Collection as a delicious treat to live illustrating customers, it has been one sweet experience. .
To further enhance the delightful sensory experience of the Bvlgari Omnia Candy Collection, I designed and illustrated the four perfumes as four different sweet treats to be savoured at Bvlgari’s Italian pasticceria pop-up store.
Four girls were illustrated enjoying these delicious confections while depicting the joy, pleasure and exuberance of these fragrances.
Join me as we indulge in a whimsical world of colourful eye candies and sweet smelling fragrances. The Limited Edition Omnia Candy Collection is pure pleasure for the senses. Yum!
What a delight it was to be part of the celebration of love at the wedding of Ruby and Noby at The Clifford Pier. Drawing all the beautiful (and equally dashing) guests in this magnificent venue doesn’t really seemed like work, even if it was more than 6 hours of non-stop drawing past midnight.
I just had to paint this on the spur of moment when I saw the lovely bride walked up the aisle in one of the most beautiful wedding ceremony that I have ever seen. Reminded me of an unforgettable scene In The Crazy Rich Asians.
I also had the pleasure of meeting and sketching Alexander Gotama who designed and styled this gorgeous wedding in one of Singapore’s iconic heritage venue, The Clifford Pier. What a wedding it was!
Of all the gorgeous ladies and charming men that I sketched that night, the one who stole my heart was no other than this little boy. Isn’t he an absolute darling?
Drawing elegant ladies in their fabulous outfits while seated on a plush velvet sofa surrounded by the most sumptuous clothings and accessories may sound more like a fashion illustrator’s sweet dream than a job. Well yes, you got that right!
A huge thank you to Dolce & Gabbana for having me at your private event with Singapore Tatler. Though it was almost non-stop drawing for the two days, I had a most wonderful time.
Do you remember how the Dolce & Gabbana Devotion Bags made their debut being flown in by drones in their Fall 2018 RTW show? Similarly for their recent private event with Singapore Tatler, fashion portraits were done with the most advanced digital drawing gadgets - the Apple iPadPro and Apple Pencil. This hardworking drawing tool served me well for 7-hours of non-stop drawing.
Here are some of the fashion portraits that were sketched and printed out on the spot, much to the delight of the guests during the 2-day event.
I couldn’t help but have also included a couple more shots of their beautiful boutique in ION Orchard. The space is just simply beautiful!
I had the pleasure of live-sketching again recently and this time it was for a private event for Patek Philippe Annual Calendar Collection. Thank you, Cortina Watch Team, for having me. Scroll down to see more of fashion portraits that I did for some of the wonderful guests that evening.
When I first started my freelance illustrating career, the thought of sketching and painting in front of an audience had seemed like the most daunting thing to me. I am actually quite an introvert and a rather private person so I had never relished being in the public eye.
But surprisingly, I found that I had honestly enjoyed the live-illustration sessions. I guess that it must be because I truly love what I do and there is nothing more rewarding than sharing my love for art. And the best thing....I get to meet some of the most interesting and nicest people out there.
