Way Too Many Feels. Way Too Much Emotion

Syke.. That was just a line from my new spirit animal Kiiara (sorry Blackbear). Anyway. The title has nothing to do with this content. Blogging now in the midst of probably the most hectic week of my life (I'm talking 2 hours of sleep on the weekend). As usual being consistent of posting is not one of my best skills therefore I always end up piling all these different moments/topics to compile into one post and guess what.. I'm about to do it right now. Hah.

1. Long story short I bought all these different kinds of fabrics and planning to make stuff out of them as usual but during school I was only able to make 2 and I still have about 4 kinds of fabric waiting. The initial fabric I was looking for to make the denim jacket was quilted fabric as a combination but I wasn't able to find it. But weeks after that I went to a different place and found it and SO excited and was planning to make another jacket out of it. 

Also bought mint neoprene to make a jumper (far left). Look at the hot pink quilted tho.  


2. Oh yeah. Went to Singapore for Laneway and didn't even post anything about it. Also didn't take a lot of pictures at all. You know you just somehow forgot you have my phone with you when you're having too much fun.

 First day in Singapore spent in Universal Studios

My baby Lauren

You prolly can't see too clearly but I swear it's The Internet and I swear we were on the second row there's just too much gap between the stage hahaha!

3. Oh yeah. Also became the top 10 finalists of Pop Up Market 2016 Fashion Design Competition. Saw the poster at my campus and immediately wanted to give it a try. In the midst of designing the outfit I was really hesitant to join with all these competitors, but I thought, you never know if you never try, so I decided to keep going. And by the time I finished sketching I had a slight hope that I wouldn't be chosen as the top 10 cause we were only given a week to produce the actual garment.

But just a few days later I got an email from Pop Up Market saying I was one of the top 10 finalists and I immediately panicked. It was a mixed feeling between happy and "oh snap gotta finish this in a week in the midst of doing college assignments". So that night I started drafting the pattern and making the pattern digitally for it to be printed on a fabric later on.

Inspired by a famous painter from Santa Fe, Pablita Velarde

Pattern for the printed fabric

Finished result. I took this picture a day before Pop Up Market was held. The next day I came again and saw my design being exhibited and I have never felt so proud of myself. I honestly didn't care if I didn't win, the most important thing was people could see my design. I wish I would've taken pictures of other designs but I didn't. Not sure why. But they were all very interesting.

4. Oh! I don't think I've posted any of my drawing but I'm about to right now. So in the first term of college we learned how to draw a person's face from a reference photo and I wasn't really pleased by my first try so during the holiday I decided to draw two slightly better versions. 

  Zooey Deschanel 

 Chloe Moretz

Oh and these three were assignments in my second term. I actually drew the female faces but they're all whack so I'm not gonna show them sorry not sorry :P

These two are my drawing assignment. I drew them manually using a pencil and a drawing pen and colored them digitally using Adobe Photoshop and I just put a random background

A new drawing I just finished. I wasn't satisfied with my digital illustration assignment so I made another one and I tried to make it look as realistic as possible and it's not too shabby I think..

5. SO happy that Spotify is finally available and I just want you to listen to this track. Thx
