94-2659-60 - National Museum of Natural History and Manila Doctors

Here are two sketches I did while waiting for procedures during our annual health check up at Manila Doctors Hospital. The building in my first sketch (viewed from the window of the hospital) was initially built as the Agriculture and Commerce Building in 1940 (it was designed by Filipino Architect Antonio Toledo in the late 1930s). American forces bombed the building in 1945 and it was…

Munching away...

I always run into the problem of "What do I draw next?" So here is a prompt list I made that I hope will curb that. I've got my list at the side, and to the right, I've got letters A-Z. My idea is that everyday, I'll just do something on the list that I feel like doing, example "Portraits". And since I haven't drawn a portrait yet, I'll do a portrait A- like it could be A for Alexander Hamilton, or A for African woman. The letter's just there to start me off.

Once the portrait is done, I can check off that box, and do a Portrait that starts with B next time.

I really wanted to give myself a lot of options so that I don't feel too stuck on certain ideas and then not do them because I don't like my idea for that day.

Here's to drawing everyday! I can do this!

Sketch Book, 2022

Since last year, my usual weekday schedule has been to drop Sufi at school, then sit at a Chai Point nearby and work from there for three hours before picking her up from school. This Chai Point is quaint because it has a minimal seating area with glass in front that opens to a few stone benches put under the shade of trees. In those three hours, I see delivery agents waiting to pick up the food order, pourkarmikas taking a rest after they have finished cleaning the streets, and retired elders bidding their time watching their phone screens or talking to their other retired friends who trickle down as the noon time approaches. There are a few other peculiar but regular arrivals too. A young man arrives sharp at 11 am, asks for ice water at Chai Point, then goes sit and meditate in front of the cafe, after which he goes for a smoke and then stares at his phone screen. He is always impeccably dressed, and I have noticed him roam around the cafe even during the evening at times. He wears loafers, tight jeans and a floral shirt. The sunglasses are always there in his pocket when he is not wearing them. There is also a couple who show up in different vehicles every other day. What they wear is really important to them because I have seen the guy cleaning his shoes with a tissue each time, and after having their bun omelette and chai, they take multiple selfies before heading out. At times the photo sessions go on for longer if the food takes time to arrive. Both of them in a complimentary way help each other to ease out any creases that come up on their clothes while sitting. Seeing the mundane around me more observantly during those three hours has given me glimpses of what a routine means to different people. I am glad that I get to sketch them and record part of their day this way.

Sketching at the coffee shop again. There was a young man who had a long beard but everywhere else was clean-shaven. I'm not sure if it was a fake beard because he looked too young to have a beard that long. #sketchings #sketchingpeople #urbansketching https://www.instagram.com/p/CnPBmy5u_9Y/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

97-2911 - Get on the plane

After my snooze at the airport in UAE I woke up with only a few hours to go before my flight, so I only managed this quick sketch at the gate, before boarding. This elderly couple appeared to be travelling the world together – they were wearing matching baggy trousers and had similarly coloured puffer jackets. What a fantastic moustache the guy had (my sketch is not an…

The mobility offered by using an iPad to sketch is tremendous. I remembered standing at a little unobtrusive corner and sketching away and most passers-by thought I was just using a mobile smart device without arousing any curiosity what I was doing with it. I could also expand the page that I was sketching on, at the same time zooming in and out when necessary if I couldn't really see or when I was detailing. Or reposition the drawings for a more effective layout on the spread. The only setback was, the hand that was holding the device got tired pretty quick. I probably need to get something to make it stand on its own. Then perhaps when that happens, somebody may take notice.

Sometimes, being out and about early in the morning is actually a good idea. I had no plans of leaving my bed so early in the morning, but somehow, my friend convinced me to go, and here I was, coffee in hand, walking in between kid bikers and little toddlers on wheels. The teachers started a 14 Day Fat Loss Exercise out of nowhere. The music was blasting out and people were laughing. The dads sipped coffees and chatted with each other while the moms did the dance. Gosh, it was so funny, especially when the teachers started making jokes.

Good people are fun to be around, especially when they're funny.
