Tibetan Child 03

The 3rd piece of the portrait painting series. This is also painted from photo reference. 

Tibetan Child 01

Another old piece, completed in March 2011. This is the first portrait which I painted digitally, with reference from a random Google search. I started off in NDS colors and later brought it into Photoshop for touch up. I actually like the sketchy loose feel and left it without being too refined.

Hello world!

I had been talking with a close friend about posting some of my artwork online. I wasn't really a fan of blogging, but she finally made me create this little space of mine. I guess it is only fitting then that the first post goes to my first oil painting, completed in late December 2010.

That's how it looks like after framing up. 

Regarding the post title, I came from a computer engineering background. Back in university, the first assignment that every programming student made was to print these words "Hello world!" on the computer screen. I thought it's only fitting that I named my first post that as well.
