Drawing! pt.10.5

Random drawing. Did it in red pen.

I just like the way I drew the position of the head. it's hard to draw heads like this that sit past the 3/4 view.

Drawing! pt.10

Man, it sure has been a while since my last uploaded post. I'm sorta back at uni now so my workload is piling up. I will still try my best to upload as many posts as I can.

Time being, enjoy this drawing. I sorta folded the paper in half on an angle and then drew on each half. The pic shows the 2 pics together. Concept is the idea of 'reflection'. Basically two characters, same person, only one is a charcteristic of an outer look while there character as the soul that inhabits the outer body.

I'm very bad when it comes to describing, Sorry! : )

The Hunt For Macarons is ON!!!! - Sydney's Baroque Bistro

The Baroque Bistro is a Restaurant + Cafe and Patisserie located in Circular Quay in Sydney. I saw an 'article' on this when I spent one Saturday afternoon (many many months ago) watching Sydney Weekender on Prime 7.

They served up Macarons but what they also served up were classes as to how to make them. That's when I became very interested. So, when I got on a break from  uni, I went up to Sydney to visit relatives and this place.

I spent the day with a cousin and we searched high and low. Lots of walking but we rejuvinated our energy with 4 slices of pizza each. It took us a little while and it was worth it.

When we stepped into the store, it was sure busy since it was popular but man the meals looked pricy. Though the Macarons didn't hurt the wallet so much with each piece sitting at $2.50 per piece. As for the Macaron class, it costs about $220 per person (includes a lunch and the ingredients plus lesson) (prices from 11/12/2010 according to Sydney Weekender).

Alongside the Macarons behind the counter were these other cakes that look so irrisistable and very fancy too, selling at $12 per serve.

After our lunch and stroll to burn it off, we had the Macarons for dessert while taking in the westernish scenery and exploring the interesting stalls held near the Baroque Bistro.

More Macarons 2

I don't remember if I posted up the fact that Bean in the City has started to get their macarons from the Flute?

Anyways, bought some and they always taste good! These ones are blueberry (bluey purple one) and pistachio.

These ones have a fuller inbodyment of almond meal but to get them this perfect leaves me to guess that the Italian meringue method is used. I make mine using the French method.

My phototaking skills are getting a bit better.

More Macarons

I'm just crazy about them.
These ones I made somewhere in July. They are pandan with passionfruit white choc ganauche.

Yes! Can't wait for her single to be released at the end of this month.

I like this song and it is used for the 2nd ed to Aoi no excorcist. This is the PV to it. Enjoy!

Drawing! - Trying a perspective

Drawing from a certain angle is really difficult so when I base my drawings on a perspective point of view, it takes me twice the length of time to finish the pic off.

This pic here depicts an angle of looking down from a high place.

I sorta roughly and quickly drew this pic whilst listening to 'Circus no yoru ni' by Megurine Luka and it depicts a girl looking up at a passing balloon.
