favoured but sadly..rejected

Since I start working, designing in photoshop has been my everyday breakfast. Without much guidance and idea how to use this software, I am glad to have picked up some understanding of self learning. These are some rejected works I did which I think will be wasted if not posted here since I have done it with much of stress and sweat..

Name Card
Reason rejected: Too girly colour? Why find bed picture instead of living room picture? =. =''
R: What's with green sketch? and why green? ( I replied: because I am trying to use the logo colour) ,
People will not understand if you don't explain it.. Please do something that people can understand easily +__+

(After changing to living room picture)
R: Cannot see the clear effect of what I am trying to do ( to make sketch to real)

There are a few more rejected work but I just put those i think are nice ones ...

End Result which was Picked


 GREETING CARDS

R: Too red, never represent what company is doing

R: Black no good ..


Final pick:



Check out the greeting card I did for 2012

I'm so proud of my pcb circuit xmas tree.. i took lots of time to have this effect^^


Another xmas tree I did for another company.. not to bad

I promised i wanted to post this couple of months ago and only had the chance to do it today.. because I didn have access to scanner n many other things that kept me busy. Anyway, its been very challenging year for me with final assignments, exams, graduation and frustration looking for jobs within limited time to stay in Singapore. I had to go through disappointment of rejections after raising my hope high in most interview.

Then, I went to this interview carrying my certificate of Business background thinking how to convince them to hiring me since I was so desperate. The interviewer flipped at my resume and certificate, then to my surprise he asked, '' you take art before ? can you draw ?'' Then I saw him looking at my O level result. At first, I thought, umm I shouldnt be talking something that is out of the position I'm applying or else he will probably said that I am not suitable in this job since my passion is some other things but he appeared to be more interested in what kind of art I usually draw. ''Poster?still life.. fine drawing'' I said, while trying to dig up my memory back to school days. "What do you learn in making poster?", still puzzled, I said '' I must make the caption as focal point''..He said the position will need someone who can do web design but I dont know anything about web designing.  This kind of conversation is definitely not in my morning preparation thought. I came home thinking about drawing again wondering maybe I cant draw as nice as before. Then, I drew this. To me the light shining through the window is like hope.

A week later, I was called for second interview. I was anxious and I took some of my old drawings in the bag with me. I showed him to see him happy with my still life drawing.  Then he said, I had to choose between you and a local, but I choose you because you have art skills. I was definitely too happy to hide my wide smile. I really never thought taking art during school would save me?  I praised God because He really provide me more than my expectations. I was delighted I can do art together with business course background in my first job! : D I hope I'll do well...

I wanted to try shading black and white objects so i looked for pictures this morning that may provoke me to draw it~ and i saw this.. it really doesnt look as simple as it does.. sigh** especially wire part..



not dark enough.. :( i used 2B mechanical pencil and HB pencil. i would say the drawing is 65% accurate including me, skipping of the wooden table..

~`staRting from bEginnin9

Back again and i am starting from beginning. I've been encouraging myself and support from important people to paint again. I want to do things that is close to my heart ..

Blowing Dandellion



The girl look so preety and i kindda destroy her :( well this is my 2nd try painting .. the 1st try was "horrible+ terrible". It was better than the 1st one so i dare to put it up but it still hasnt bring my confidence back yet. it was suppose to give the peaceful feeling with beautiful sceenery but what i feel is tense in blowing dandellion. :( i guess i have to try harder next time.. < OTL in despair >

 




At last.. i can see my table this way again with messy painting equipment again. i love it ~ its a moment to remember.

th0se gl0ry dAys i leFt beHind~~

These are my babies .. i mean few ideas that i love so much that i bring it around to singapore. well, i left many of my art work in KL too~ those big pieces like my fruits and many other things . i always do better / much better in ideas than the final piece .. because no stress in time.  i love the big pieces too but it was difficult to bring them here.. these cut pieces also got me scolded already.. but im happy i can show them here. aaAhh..my glory days ..~~  made me feel nostalgic and guilty

 

my spoon and fork ideas for still life.. i love the purple cloth too..~ :) ~ i thought drawing metals and reflecting stuff would be terrifying n super hard and so i draw things that dont show much of reflection..  im never sure if im a watercolourist or a postercolourist as u can see im always in between but i always add the pencil colour touch to it.  The result was never like i thought it would turn out..

 

My onionssss~~~ ^^, i discovered one technique to make it look like the onion surface.. i use those fable castle pencil colour that can blend in water and to know that u must estimate the colour i mean not to press it so hard because when u blend in the water the colour is quite powerful.. same goes with the garlic .. just a little brown and yellow on the shadding and with wet brush.

 

Im not sure if this is some plants or fruits or FLOWER .. haha i just had to draw it.. sadly i didn finish this in the final piece.. i was like ARGGGhhhh no time no timee... my enemy was always time constraint..

 

 china pots in colour pencil  . I really like the wooden holder and the china print

 

Finally .. finalllyy.. my olevel book cover trial "the artist's studio in 19th century" . the final piece didn turn out better than this but it was really my last drip of blood to give .. hahha . Looking at this i remember crackiiinnnng my head and went crazzzyyy when i came to know the topics and went even crazieerrrrrrrrr almost insane when my ideas were " rejected " by most respected one and only Art teacher who could only stay a while for my last battle. Actually wat made me insane was not her rejection because she saw "better" things and when i saw the "better" drawings by my most respected friend and rival made me really like tearing art pieces ideas , her drawing were like heavenly amazing and mine was like rubbish  a TOTAL DEFEAT is what i called ..im sorry i know is not good to say her as rival buttt i cant help it. she was reallyy my worthy competitor.?! but because of her i got my spirrittt up burning to do better to see things outside the box .. really thankfull . i really hope i can meet her again but of course i will feel defeated again since i choose business course. i hope not i will make a come back when im ready .. heheh :D
