Autumn

We do not have that season in Manila

but since I lived in the USA before

I know what it looks like

and how it felt so cold . . .

Autumn means winter is coming 

and the leaves turn to red and fall.

In Manila we have hot weather now.

It is so different yet I remember. . .

Sorbetes

Another rectangle shape exercise.

I am drawing an ice cream cart.

It is hard but fun.

And the fun part is the coloring . . .

Lui told me that sorbetes carts must look colorful

to attract children and adults!

This is the second time I am making a sorbetes cart

and I am sure it will not be the last!

DYIP

My jeepney drawing is my exercise for rectangle shapes this week.

And I think I made a good one!

Plant Drawing

This is one of the plants in our garden.

My exercise this week is the square shape

and I have to look for something square around me.

And then I saw the square base of the plant holder!

And this is my drawing:

And the fun part is the coloring:

I have to use two to three colors for my leaves, the soil, the vase . . .

And my drawing is complete:

Lui was so proud of me!

And I am happy as well.

Pagong

Pagong means tortoise.

Mine has polka dot shell body.

Lui said it will be a good exercise for me

to play with colors!

And now I add shadings . . .

. . . and I darken the lines of my drawings

to complete my drawing!

Higante!

I am copying Lui's design for a tissue paper roll

to be made into toy Higantes.

Higante means giant and in my country

there is a higantes festival,

the feast of San Clemente,

held every November in Angono, Rizal.

Pahiyas

This is the typical house in the countryside.

But every month of May in Lucban, Quezon

this house gets decorated to give thanks

to their patron saint, San Isidro Labrador,

for a good harvest.

. . . pahiyas means decor

so I decorate the house with a whole banana bunch

and flowers and vegetables around the windows!

My pahiyas house:

Clown

Another triangle exercise

but first . . .

I have to make a circle first

and draw the whole body 

before I can draw the triangle accents:

. . . and then the fun part

to add as many colors

to make it look bright and happy . . .

My new clown drawing:

I hope you like it!

Star

I had a lot of triangle shape exercises

by making lots of triangle shape drawings.

So now I am making a triangle star 

by making a circle first:

Then I draw five long triangles to make a star:

This is the first time I am drawing a star like this.

Then I add lines and colors on both sides

to make it stand out:

And my new star drawings

made of several triangles:

My New Hat

I wanted to draw my new hat

but Lui wanted me to draw another.

Guess who won?
