Random Sketches 1990




When using colour pencils sketching it is best not to do too large a sketch. Sketch with the pencils and not 'color' your sketches., thats my style offcourse. Sometimes the ragged strokes makes for more vibrant or raw texture rather than the unintresting smooth - out texture of a well laid out coloring technique.


Then again the use of jagged or random lines can also be deemed as uncertainty or unsure of one's technique or better yet the lack of confidence. However each and every sketches that i have done rarely takes more the ten minutes, five minutes is considered average as i have a poor sense of patience and am prone to lets get it down as fast as we can.
















Subject matter, as you can see so far in all my works, there is no subject matter as anything and everything matters as far as my sketching is concern. I try to make for intresting subjects through jotting down my thoughts as i am sketching or i combine various elements to create a story just so the viewer is gets a kick out of it rather than just see how well executed a sketch is.











It dont take much materials for one to carry around when out sketching and these are relatively so small that hardly anyone notices that you have them on you. Except for the sketch pad, the rest is hidden away safe in your pockets and thus there is no excuse for you not to have them around when needed.
