Sketch / Uptown Girl in Ink + Non Photo Blue

 

Quick little ink drawings from last night. I'm working with a company here in Hong Kong to produce some silk scarves with my illustrations on them! I'm so excited, but working with those huge files on Photoshop to create patterns can be really tedious.

I've been reading Lynda Barry's cartoon class blog for-eva-eva but I never actually get around to doing the exercises, but last night she posted this photo with the instructions "why not take 20 minutes to draw this picture? Start with non-photo blue pencil for five minutes and then take 15-20 minutes to ink it in."

Fun, creative and non-committal! Here's mine.

I also made another drawing with the same technique of Lana Del Rey from her new Rolling Stones cover, Saddest/Baddest Diva. I love how the cat turned out, look at his little eyes. Meow.

I'm selling both of these little paintings. They're originals, each $50USD and 16cm x 21cm. Email me at kitty.n.wong (at) gmail.com if you're interested!

Sketches | Girl in Andy Wolf Cat Eye Frames

I've been thinking about getting new glasses lately and I've been thinking about these gorgeous Andy Wolf gold flecked Bettie Page inspired cat eye frames I saw at Piyi Optical a while ago but sadly they are well over my budget.

I made this little sketch of those glasses when I first got my Wacom tablet and I'm better at using it now but this one has such cute colours I thought I'd share it anyways.

Whenever I pass by a Piyi Optical I can't resist going in and trying on a million pairs of their glasses (sorry sale staff!). And I've been looking for cat eye glasses that look good on my face since forever (like middle school probably) and these Andy Wolf 5002 are just the perfect shade of flattering granny for me.
