The working title of this drawing of mine is “Make-Up”, inspired by what you will see in just a bit. This drawing does not have the complexity in terms of meaning like that big turtle drawing. So, please don’t think too hard on this one. If you have the bandwidth, try to decipher that puzzle of mine instead. No one has figured the answer yet! Shocking. I may give out more hints in like … a month down the road.
In this drawing, you see a woman staring into an eye – can you see the eyebrow above the eye? – and there are three make-up brushes used for the girl in the mirror (the bigger face). So I suppose when a girl looks into a mirror, the reflection on her eyes is the girl herself? Anyway, the three brushes are eye shadow brush, blending brush, and powder brush. This may sound Greek to you if you are a guy. If you are a lady, these are your daily, essential tools, I suppose.
Out of nowhere, Cynthia has this renaissance ignited interest in make-up. Partially my fault in pointing her to the direction of YouTube. These days, she is glued to not only TV, but only YouTube. Oh my. I have a daily passive dose of make-up jargon and techniques by hearing the video. The positive side of this is I too get to stare at those very pretty girls behind the video. I mean, these are really good looking people showing their fans on how to apply make-up and more. Gulp!
At times I look into the statistics of these popular YouTube contributors. Each video can easily be viewed in the region of a million times, commented and rated in excess of ten thousands. Woah! A scene quite rarely seen in the blogging world (at least the world I know of). Making videos seem to enjoy the highest number of comments per minute of attention. And if you want the highest number of comments per characters you type, I would say Facebook or Twitter. Humbling speaking. Some comments can even be longer than the status update or tweet itself. Now, why continue to blog? Hmmm.
Back to this drawing of mine, I hope you enjoy staring at it. I often stick my most recent drawing onto the wall for temporary display. This morning Cynthia got a shock when she woke up to this drawing. So did I. Pretty scary piece of drawing the more I look at it. Oh well, I hope I am improving and heading somewhere.

After seeing so many complicated drawings these days, I miss those simple cutie drawings you doodle earlier… like the dinner under the rain, massive jam, three reactions in the cinema, etc… 😛 They are not so artistic but simple and pleasant to see. 🙂
Lora – Ah I see I see. Thanks for your feedback 🙂 How about that little robot with erm heart shaped panty in one of my previous posts? Hehehe.
Uh oh. Tomorrow’s one is even more complicated. Maybe I shall try to doodle something simple next week.
Woo I like this picture actually. I think its quite modern in a sense yet a little greek?
Si Ying – It is always good to hear how one perceive a drawing. Thank you! I guess by introducing day-to-day objects into the drawing makes it somewhat modern? Like the brushes?
