Night Sketch @ Rangoon Road



It was a very different experience indeed. I only manage to do 2 but the whole night I was more interested in looking at how others execute their sketches. I was fortunate to sit next to Drew and Tia on several occasions to take a peep at their processes. Very cool!

This was my second sketch for the night. Used the Hero fountain pen and watercolor. I experimented with splashes and drips but made a mess out of it, but I kinda like it. I touched up the color a little this morning to increase the contrast between the night sky and the building.

We came home that night just to find ourselves heading out to a Malay coffeshop for some pratas and Roti Johns for supper. I sketched another while having my fav lime juice.

  1. Wow, it does look better with the darker sky. I love the drips. Full of character.

  2. i got to try the drips too. the night sky can be even darker since the buildings are mid-tones already. Same goes for the prata shop.nice how you did the speck of lights outside. wow you can sure eat!

  3. I like the muted colours utilised for the latter piece, likewise the hint of redness in the former.

  4. The warmer tones represented the hot and humid weather--- I was perspiring all over!
