Paint My Life

Cousin-sis graduated her Body Art Designing from Hong Kong few months ago and now she is opening her own shop which services included body art (temporary tattoo) and nail art at my hometown, Kuantan.

I was pay a visit to her shop and take an hour lesson at there as I am kinda interest on drawing.

And, I was took some pictures of her drawing while teaching me the skills.

Basic equipment for drawing, water color brushes and specialize poster colors for body art which are easy to remove with water

Begin to draw on black color paper without sketch

Sis said, the basic of body art course is drawing flower

The skill to learn of drawing flower is controlling the shade, if you are able to control it very well,

your flower will look more natural

Sis is very shy when I taking photo =x

Use white color to brings out the 3D effects

This is the one I draw in the 1 hour class

Obviously, my skill is not that good on the shade

As what people said, sis advised me, practice makes perfect

Or, beginner like me can draw with copying others' draw as it can makes us more easy and fast to point out how to draw

Here are some of cousin-sis's works

With skilled, sis always applied it on many different places such as phone cover, wall, book, nail (this is harder as the size of nails are so small), laptop cover and so on.

This is one of my phone covers which from sis 

She also draw on wall at her shop to celebrate this dragon-year

Notice the pink color thingy I holding?

That is another phone cover of mine and I draw myself

It is very simple

I will take another short-course during semester break to improve my drawing skills. 

It looks easy to complete drawing yet it is hard to make actually. 

Besides of the skill of drawing, you are required a good-sense of color-match.

Oh yea, body art but why it didn't draw on body?

It is because the basic of the course, drawing on paper before going to do temporary tattoo on body. 

Wish that I'm skilful to do body art after my next short-course.
