Assignment and Ink

Week 5 assignment 3, night lighting. 2 years ago when I was getting up at 3am everyday to use this pump, I saw my lone tired reflection in the dark window and I silently saluted to whoever else was out there going through this same period of time. Congrats to myself, I'm over this now.

I always thought ink markers are for true artists only. I remember leafing through my dad's interior architectural drawings as a kid and thought grey markers are for grownups and professionals who needs to shade incrementally. So I bought some and now pretending to be grownups.

iPad paintings

I bought an iPad two months ago and have been painting with it almost every day. So much plein air is now possible! Also a shout out to Zac Retz who has been giving me tips and suggestions on my studies.

Long time no paint!

I've started taking an online painting class and finally get to paint for a bit while toddler is napping. Yay!

Long time no bunny!

These bunnies are custom made for Reviewable -- a code review program for GitHub. I still don't have time and energy to get back to regular bunny drawing, or regular life (for those of you who don't know, I procreated, and am now suffering from the consequences.) Precious naps were sacrificed for these drawings.

Bunny's Roaring Rainmaker

Bunny thinks sunny days are overrated. Damn sun shines all the time.

Thus Bunny deploys its newest patented invention: Roaring Rainmaker! 

It contains lion-shaped thunder clouds. When released they roar thunders and soar above.

Within minutes Bunny can cozy up on the couch with a hot cuppa and enjoy the lovely pitter patters.

Bunny's Personal Heaven

Bunny bought a "Make your own Heaven" package. 

It involved putting together a sky box, 

and release the cloud bag.

Let the cloud lift up the sky box.

Open up the bottom view hole.

And you're free to observe the world from your own personal heaven! (Or passing judgement on all other creatures on earth who are literally beneath you.) 

Bunny hatching

Bunny has an enormous egg in its lab and is doing all kinds of experiment to help it hatch while trying to figure out what kind of egg it is. 

Lemon Land

Bunny visited Lemon Land!

In Lemon Land, every citizen is well documented with size, level of acidity, and favorite color. 

Bunny saw the nursing quarters for babies. 

And where they lock away the bad lemons. 

And witnessed their natural defense mechanism.
