Sketchbook Project 2011: A = Argue
My eyes are so blurry now after coloring this. Had to make my eyes small in order to color, that is how bad.
I need a new pair of glass with more power.

Sketchbook Project 2011: Titlepage
I finally get to sketch for the Sketchbook Project as well as getting 8.5 hours sleep. I feel so fresh.
Here’s the title page of my sketchbook. I decided to just do a generic topic on boys and girls; on things they like to do. I made it A to Z, easy for me to work on it.
Using 0.1 Uni pen and prismacolor colored pencil. Not going to make full coloring, just randomly here and there.
After discussing with my husband, I decided not to mount the pages to make it thick. Just using the front of every leaf and leave the behind empty.
For those who not in the know, you can find out about the Sketchbook Project 2011 here. And my blogger friend Anny Boo is in the project too, illustrating Coffee and Cigarettes. Yay to Anny!

Sketchbook is here already
It arrived few days ago. The papers are so thin that I am thinking of mounting 2 pages together. The organiser says I can do anything with it long as the dimensions of the book is still the same.

Preliminary sketch
I thought I come up first with the concept and style that I am going to draw for the Sketchbook Project. Will use the combination of .3 and .1 UNI Pin black drawing pen for outlines and inner lines respectively, with watercolor patterns as background. Oh yeah, not to forget to sign my name. *lol*
Going to add patterns on clothing; gotta do study about traditional clothing in Malaysia for the first few pages. Other pages will include traditional games, food and what not. Thanks to Ihsan Khairir for the great idea!
IHSAN says: yes, boys and girls would be awesome! What a chance to show Malaysia’s multiethnic and multicultural background to the world!

Done! I’m in!
Ok, considering that it will take a while for my sketchbook to arrive, I ordered quickly for the sketchbook; opting out the digitizing part (first it was the t-shirt part, haha). I cannot wait any longer for payments to be in my PayPal account due to time factor. I hope I can still pay for both items opted-out at a later date.
Here are the votes:
* Things found on restaurant napkins – 1
* It’s raining dogs and cats – 2
* In 5 minutes – 4
* Adhere to me – 1
* Boys and girls – 10
* The greatest story ever told – 1
* Down your street – 2Majority wins! Thank you to all friends and readers, I have a theme already: Boys and Girls.
I am anticipating the fun and joy in illustrating the sketchbook that will be on tour before landing permanently in Brooklyn Art Library, USA.
Will get my sketchbook in approximately 2 weeks time!
Oh, I must speed up my current project. 3 more bigbooks to illustrate! Rempit!

Please help me decide
I am participating in the Sketchbook Project 2011 but while waiting for some payments to make their way into my Paypal account (to be able to register, I have to pay), I can’t seem to decide what theme to choose from given themes as below:
* Jackets, blankets, and sheets
* Things found on restaurant napkins
* It’s raining dogs and cats
* Revenge
* Trading forever
* Dirigibles and submersibles
* Capture the flag
* … you’d be home by now
* Make mine a double
* In 5 minutes…
* Adhere to me
* Coffee and cigarettes
* Boys and girls
* The greatest story ever told
* Science project gone wrong
* Down your street
* Secret codesI am thinking of “In 5 minutes” and draw things within 5 minutes. Or maybe “Down your street” and draw things down my street. What say you?
I appreciate if you can leave a comment or two in my comment box. Thank you so much in advance!
I’ll be taking the option of USD45 of particapting fee (USD25) + digitizing the artworks (USD20) + shipping USD3 = USD48. I have to scrap out the t-shirt part (USD20) as I don’t think I will be able to make it to United States for the tour exhibition. But I am keeping the faith that I can go on sponsorship, maybe by MAS hahahha
Yes, that will be in my wildest dream only. I can dream, can’t I?
I hope to be able to get the sketchbook by November and complete all by December and beat the postmark date of January 15, 2011. The tour will start in March 2011.
