Aaron Toh is born in year 1991 and is currently hoping to learn more about the art market as well as getting enrolled into La Salle college of the arts this year 2009.
'From young I have had a passion for drawing. Drawing things ike sketchy faces, drawing animals, plants, just anything that gets my interest. It was not until when I was 12 years old till I started to attempt to draw in a realistic style. I started to get serious and bloomed in my passion for the realistic/sub-realistic style of drawing when i was 15 years old - where i underwent huge technical improvement due to the outburst of passion and observational practice within that period. From realistic portraits, I shifted my art style to not using direct references in certain drawings.
For those drawings that are based mainly on my understanding on translating tones through mind and emotions I feel, I include fantasy, and surreal elements. From there, I started with symbolisms and concepts that I can bring out onto paper. Normally I draw things that I feel, experienced or what I know/understand through other people's experiences and sufferings and use it as an inspiration for the concepts and moods I convey. I hope to explore further in the future with more ideas and different mediums. Art I feel is limitless and I hope to inspire people as I improve with the art that I do.'
I am thinking of sharing my completed drawings post by post. So that i can do them post by post, maybe at 3-1week intervals. So here is the drawing that I am sharing today :)
Feelin' Good
Poem i wrote:
Its a new dawn, its a new day. Look away from the ugly picture that situations sometimes toss at you but focus on a brighter day. I look high up towards the sky, the Sun never forsakes me, emerging behind the gloomy clouds where I clearly see the silver linings shimmering ever so brightly. and I'm feelin' good, feeling great.. :) ---------------------------------------- this drawing is different compared to the others i have done. i have tried to include little pop elements here and there. its a simple work meant to be a try-out clothing design but turned out to be a drawing instead haha. for the concept i meant to keep t simple to rest a bit on concepts this time round as compared to my other drawings - i want to use lines as an expression as opposed to my realistic style :) i used a base reference for the face posture and changed a lot of things. other than that, its done without reference. hope you all enjoy viewing it as much as i had fun creating it :)
Today I went about Google Search, searching for Singaporean drawing blogs. I found a Singaporean portrait artist using blogspot to host her portrait selling business websites. After which I came across another blog dedicated to another Singaporean's passion for drawing and art-making. Sooo... I thought why not create my personal blog dedicated to my interest and passion? I developed a strong passion for drawing from young. Over the years, I went from drawing cartoon characters - mickey mouse - to pokemon, digimon, animals and then portraits.
For this blog i will be posting regular updates about my artworks and my thoughts about art. I'll type till here for now :).
