digital group caricature for Loreal
Client's brief:-
"JC on top of Singapore Airline plane
JC doing a superman shot with one hand in the front saying “ACCELERATION, REVOLUTION and PREVENT ACCIDENT”
In the background there is the Marina Bay Sands, Merlion, Singapore Eye, Esplanade "

Worked on the main subject first, on my Wacom Cintiq 12WX.

I split the image into 2 becasue Sketchbook Pro doesn't support arge canvas of A2 size , 300 dpi.
But I love the line quality of the brush here - very close to my G-Pen and brush.


Compiling the 2 parts together in Photoshop.
I finally decided to fire up my Wacom Cintiq 24HD again.
Thankfully, there's no burning smell coming out from it this round, after let it cool down for 3 months.
Wish it can last me longer, and not just 1 year odd.
(I have to say - supports from Wacom Singapore to the distributor to retailer are lousy. I am still waiting for their reply since April.)

I don't need to squint my eyes with this huge screen now.:)
Completed artwork!

Printed on stretched canvas!

Indiana Jones digital caricature for GIC
Client's brief:-
"a drawing of our boss instead as Indiana Jones? In the background, can you put words or graphics depicting “Peering through the crystal ball, “NIM mystery solved”, “searching for 1980s artefacts” and also a GIC logo.....Can you also add the words “RSP” inside the crystal ball. The effect should be one looking into the crystal ball and seeing the words “RSP” shining out."

Drafting out the posture on my Wacom Cintiq 12WX....

Inking in Sketchbook Pro.... Love the line quality. Very close to my G-Pen and brush on paper.

Colouring in Photoshop CS4....

Adding in the captions, logo and crystal ball.

digital wedding caricatures for wedding signature board
The client requested for this layout, meaning the heads have to be smaller.

Technically, it is rather impossible to draw in the details even at this large scale of 50x70cm.

Thus, I proposed to draw it digitally so that I can zoom in to work on the details.

The Balloons are meant as the space for the signatures of the guests. Good idea eh?!

Client's brief:-
"For Mr Yxxxx you can use the map of Singapore as background with him on a sampan rowing out to Korea
For Mr Axxxxxxx you can you the map of Singapore as background with him on a sampan rowing out to Africia"
