Jackie Chan Caricature

After I completed this, then I thought I could have picked a more comical pose of Jackie Chan in the first place. Or could have referenced other more 'playful' images of Jackie Chan. Anyway, the caricature started when the some news about Jackie Chan was featured in my Yahoo homepage yesterday. And so I drew him straight from there without much thinking. haha...

ARPC Pre-School Kids - Heads with Cartoon Bodies

I was tasked to draw little bodies of the kids for craft for this Sunday's lesson.

I could not figure out if they should be cartoons or caricatures. Nevermind....

Elderly Man @ Jurong East Library Reading Newspaper

It was in the evening when I was waiting for Hsinying in Jurong East Library. There was a cosy corner for people to idle, sit around and read. I got my sketchpad and start to wonder what to do with it... then in a couple of minutes... ehem!... =p hehe...

MBA Graduation Caricature for Hsinying on 27th July 2009

(Hsinying and the Ceremony Hall)

Hsinying (my wife) had her graduation ceremony in NTU. Together with the MBAs were the Accountant graduates. There were so many of them the clapping volumn in the hall keep diminishing only a micron decibel meter can read. Then suddenly everyone woke up and gave a rousing applause complete with cat calls. Some stood up with gladness. It was the last name in the list of graduates.

You can guess that it was pretty boring to be sitting in such an event. The only exciting part is only when you see your love ones one the stage receiving the certificate. 99% of the time you clap for stangers whom you might not meet for the rest of your life.

When I became bored I usually do one of the two things. Read or draw. I remembered taking a photo of Hsinying. I also had a drawing pad and pencil with me (all the time). And I decided to do a graduation caricature for Hsinying on the spot while the rest of the strangers went on stage one by one. =)

Church Camp Booklet Identity: Daniel Lim on Book Cover

Snap-Shot of my ARPC Camp Booklet (2009)

Everyone of us has a camp booklet which contains mainly the sermon and bible studies outlines. the front page is for you to write your name and group number in case it gets misplaced.

So... other than writing names. What else can we do? Draw. =)

Free Time Newspaper Image Caricature: Hannah Montana, Barack Obama, Tan Sri Abu

One of the Kids' Favourite: Hannah Montana

President of the USA: Barack Obama
Tan Sri Abu Sahid Mohamed: I don't know who he is. But the Malaysians may know.

We were in the Palace of the Golden Horses from 3 to 7 June 2009 for our Church Camp. Every morning there will be a newspaper hanging on our hotel door. Not much time to read newspapers except when we got back from the talks and while Hsinying takes her shower.

I noticed Malaysian newspapers like to take portrait snap-shots of the person in the news and place it beside the article.

That also means there are there to be caricatured!!! Haha.. It happens that in most hotels, they provide writing pads and a pen. So very conveniently I took their pen and paper and started my doodling activites in between shower waiting time.

Caricature @ The Singapore Philatelic Museum on 31 May 2009 (Part 1 of 3)

It was a great cariature session at the Singapore Philatelic Museum.

I was not alone there, Adam, my other partner who is a 'PR' master, brought in most of the humor and that brightens and lightens the entire atmosphere a lot.

Personally I'm very encouraged by many sporty 'subjects' willing to be caricatured. If you are reading this and you happened to be one of them I sincerely thank you for being there to make the day fruitful and enjoyable for all of us.

Another Caricature of Myself

This caricature of myself was done in a lecture room in between talks (I stress in between talks). I listen you know. I had a picture of myself in my mobile phone and decided to look at it again. It was a picture of me holding a cup in my mouth and and looking cross-eyed. Then I said to myself, its time for fun again... and I drew myself and laughed at myself. That's cool. =) What a way to pass time in between breaks.

Lunch Time Cariature in Golden Miles Complex =)

I had to bring my students to Kallang for their 2-Star Kayaking Course today and had lunch in Golden Miles Complex. For those not familiar with Singapore, Golden Miles Complex is where many Thais gather with lots of Thai shops and restaurants. Many people also board buses to Johor in Golden Mile.

So back to my story. I ordered a yummy TomYam Seafood Noodle Soup and an Ice-Tea. After my meal I sat for a while longer to read my book. Just before deciding to leave I noticed just beside where I was was a lady in a little corner shop selling Thai stuffs. And I decided to caricature her. I wanted to give it to her after I finished but was a little apprehensive. I was afraid that her husband (if she is married) or her boyfriend (if she has one) will run after me if I approach her to give her my drawings!!! Hahahahahaha... Hillarious. So I decided to keep it to myself.

After drawing the lady I saw a security guard walking pretty aimlessly wth a very caricaturable face... haaaaaaaa got to draw him. =) Before I could finish him he went missing. Who knows where he went to.

After lunch it is a long and hot way back to Kallang Sea Sports Centre. 15 minutes walking time. I dreaded it because I was all wet (sweat) walking to Golden Miles. And all wet (sweat) back to the centre. But I was glad I had two drawings done to share them with you. Wish I had taken a secret photo of them....
