Process Log
Wakakakakakka..... this was fun to draw, started with the ice cream trip in Esplanade's Haagan Daz with Wush, Nic and boyfriend and Tristan. We were catching a few shows at the esplanade, and the lovey dovey couple decided to for some ice cream. The waiter that took our orders wore a black vest with white stripes, that kind of reminded me of Giotto... and that's how this picture came about. I was grinning while thinking about the reactions of the guardians and the taglines. Wahahhahaa... feel evil....

Anyways, trying out a new way of approaching cg with this picture. Disciplined myself and had as few layers of painting as possible. This totally stopped me from 'ruminating over' my painting, but the downside is that I had to think ahead for my palette. I was lost over the color choosing, so the characters were painted in their original colors and later, using the blending modes, I did some lighting, as though I'm doing some compositing work to a dull video footage. Seems like one nice way out, but I'm hoping achieve a more painterly way without outlines. Aiming too high maybe, haha.

On the life side... It's been a long while since I played badminton, even more with the kids. Realised that Ann had improved a lot. Yang is still hitting air though, he has too much actions. What the teachers say about Ann was damn true... that kid has too much energy to burn. I was getting tired and she's still fine, though she was pretty quiet towards the end, maybe conserving her energy? Or too focused on the game? Haha, maybe this holiday, I'll be exercising this way, hahahaha...
