Afternoon tea

I went to these two places to have afternoon tea recently. I always left my coffee and cookies on the side and started my finger drawing on my iPad. I do not usually erase what I drew although it is much easier to erase lines on iPad than on tradition paper. I tried to catch the best shape when I drew out each and every line.

Of course, as most photographers and artists do, I will think which orientation of my iPad I wish to use before drawing. Portrait or landscape? It is really depends on what I want to draw in my picture. Sometimes landscape serves better whereas sometimes portrait does!

Finger Drawing ( Snapshots at Beijing )

When I visited Beijing in June, I drew some pictures about the shopping mall, cafe, and restaurant over there. Most pictures were done when I was eating for someone to come. I did not wish to focus on the details. I just wish to take a snapshot of how the place looks like.

I did try different types of brushes and combined them into one picture. Please note the crystal hanging bubble lights in one of these pictures. I tried to outline each lights initially. However the picture looked very messy. Thus, I decided to colour the background first and use marker pen to dot on the pastel background colour. It looks much better than outlining all the lights.
