What Did We Create in 2021?
Anyhoo, here’s a recap of all the artworks I have drawn using both my old Samsung Tab A and iPad Pro- in no particular order because we are into that very chaotic life hahaha!
1. New art style
2. Me and my obsession with white booties
Aside from the fact that drawing these white boots are easy AF, they really look so pretty and versatile! Currently on the look-out for a trusty pair of white booties in real life 👌💁🏻♀️
3. The 'Naiwan ko bang nakabukas yung pinto ng bahay' look.
4. Wide-eyed wonder
My dream OOTD should I find myself travelling in London someday <3
Just part 2 of the above but with a glorious rich brown Marni Trunk bag.
An artwork with a slight change in art style. I actually like this artwork, should probably do again in the future.
An artwork that I originally drew on physical paper with pencil. I really wanted to do a coquette-ish style but still with a tinge of innocence- IDK, was I able to pull it successfully?
8. NYFW Sept. 2021
This one I did during isolation due to Covid-19, which happened during New York Fashion Week last September. Supposedly the girl wearing the frilly dress is the influencer Best Dressed who loves to wear girly vintage-y dresses mixed with accessories that are sometimes quite edgy.
I saw this hack somewhere where you can sort of imitate the texture of a watercolor paper in Procreate by painting the background with a very faint cream color using a certain kind of brush, then et voila your artwork will have a sembance of a watercolor artwork.
I remember back in July when we went to Boracay and it was so stormy that we ended up snuggling in our hotel, that time the waves are soooo strong that it wasn’t safe to go to the water. To kill time, I ended up creating this autumnal pop look instead of something sunny and summery.
A request from our company’s president for the whole Mercury group’s owner’s birthday ✌I’m not as adept in creating semi-realistic portraits, but if it means brownie points… e di ok hahaha! Also, hope this could be an example that I can accommodate commission works 😉😉😉😉😉 Uy malapit na Valentine’s day!
I do miss wearing cold weather appropriate clothing like coats, heavy knit sweaters, and thigh-high boots! If you wear those articles of clothing here, better expect some funny looks and awkward sweat patches.
As part of a friendly project with my good friend, Alex Esmeralda, we did a coloring book where we combined 2 characters in one. I did one for Princess Bubblegum x Chibi Moon and this, D.Va from Overwatch x Jill Valentine from the Resident Evil franchise. Despite finishing the coloring book last 2020 it was only last year when I decided to color it. I am proud of myself for the detailing I did with D.Va’s gun hehe.
On the other side of the coin, I also did this during our vacation in Boracay, but compared to the other one, this is sunnier and more vacay-themed appropriate.
I just want to draw someone sipping tea.
17. Mieux vaut être seul mal accompagné
After so many years, this is the closest thing to a calligraphy I can muster to do, Shame.
Kunware ginawa sa papel, pero digital talaga.
Partner to "Kyah kaw ba 'tong Red na Adventure?"
Peg: Korean Webtoons.
Another “Nicole, pagawa naman ng drawing” kind of drawing.
I have plans of creating stickers for MEDIPLAST, but there are more pressing priorities to do first haha!
What a Kate Spade gal would have worn on her way to dinner date in NYC.
I’m still on the look out for a similar coat.
Last artwork I did with my Samsung Tab A, where I just digitized these 2 sketches I drew on paper.
Outfit sponsored by GU, LOL.
Not my proudest moment tbh.
Please refer to Emily’s outfit when she’s about to leave Champagne.
I copied the pose from this Fashion Illustration book. That’s all hahah!
There was a time I got so hooked with Cyn’s song, Drinks, that I revolved this around a concept of drinking your way back to freedom and being an independent woman who needs no man.
Experimental #2 lol.
I still wish to wear this outfit when I go to Amalfi someday- and yes I don’t care whether Cottage Core is no longer “in” by that time.
2nd to the last artwork I did with my old tab, and back then I just discovered how to use uncommon brushes like this feathery ones.
And that's it pancit! For 2022 I really do want to extend myself and offer my 'services' lol pangit pakinggan in creating more artworks and commissions. We got a number of big plans for 2022 and extra dough would definitely help in getting it near to fruition... so if you know any I am one message away 👏
Love Always,
Nicole
