[one drawing #5] Frozen Jellyfish
Orlando! What a fantastic city!
I visited Universal Studio Orlando, which was like a dream town for Minion fans.
The most popular ride for now was ‘Frozen’, and I drew this jellyfish clock on the wall while waiting for TWO hours in line. Found out it wasn’t too easy to draw while slowly moving, so took a picture with my iPhone and continued to draw it at night… and found out again that it wasn’t too easy (actually pretty hard) to draw from a picture.
BTW, the sketchbook is 4 ✕ 6, a ‘palm size.’
[one drawing #4] wings
To attend IRE(Investigative Reporters & Editors) annual conference #IRE2018, I travelled to Orlando. My teacher Anne McGhee told me to practice with soft pencils and small sketchbook while hitting the road.
I was squeezed in between two ladies while flying to Orlando from Boston. Left with little choices, started to draw what was in my sight: back of the chair in front of me.

[one drawing: 1] a cat
Today I started to learn drawing from the wonderful teacher who happens to be living in the same apartment of mine. Whenever I tried to draw something, I tended to get very scared. Perhaps my unpleasant middle school memories where I was one of the WORST drawing students in the art class, had kept me from drawing anything.
Now I am planning a train trip across the US in late July, I wanted to become like one of those cool people who draw something (like in their sooooooo cool Moleskin notebook!), I cautiously reached out to the teacher and she so gratefully accepted me as a student.
So here I am starting a new series (not that I have any notable thread but still…) ‘one drawing’, meaning ‘one drawing at a time.’
This picture is the one I drew right after I got back from the first lesson, using charcoal.
The teacher told me to look at some of Seurat’s charcoal paintings, no, no, I mean drawings!, …so I did. And among eye opening drawings (I never imagined so much can be done with that simple charcoal!) this drawing of a cat just caught my heart right away.
Georges Seurat “Le Chat Blanc”
So I tried to mimic him and came up with this drawing.
Hmm… my cat looks very uncomfortable compared to Seurat’s, but well… it is my first day!
