This is a frequent sight of my family dinner, which I managed to draw when we sat together on the same table after a long while.

Drawing a portly hand
I felt the need to draw something before going to sleep, and recalled this visual image from a morning news post to spend some twenty minutes.

Fountain figure 4
I saw this sculpture in Anderson collection at Stanford and captivated by its structure.
I started with the contour exercise and still found it hard to coordinate my sight and touch and finished too quickly in about 10 minutes.
I then switched to ordinary sketching for about 30 to 40 minutes.
Because it sat high on a pedestal, it was difficult to photography.

Compensational drawing
I was frustrated by the hand-eye contour coordination exercise from the natural way to draw, and compensated myself with a normal sketching of the same subject.

Sidetracked from physical to digital
I was sharpening a drawing pencil pondering what I should draw, and found the setup intriguing and ended up drawing it on an iPad.

A shrimp dish
Someone commented that the shrimp doesn’t seem very appetite, but the lemon is crisp and eye-catching.
Then I realized that I should add more highlights to the shrimp to make it appear fresher and oilier.

Portrait painting from memory
I saw this face sitting opposite to me on a metro train, and drew it from memory after coming home.
Drawing from memory is the next step after drawing from sighting, with the additional involvement of (long term) visual memory.

Drawing a dessert from photo
The transparency is not quite right.

Quick sketch of a break-away body part
while I can still feel it.
I need to be gentler to my own body, which no longer heals like the Wolverine.
