It\u2019s definitely not usual style\u2026 But hey, it looks fun and is easy to do\u2026 And I wanted to try out my holbien acrylic gouache so\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But I\u2019m getting ahead of myself.

Well, I happened to watch this <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/3CCI2i9rQag\">video<\/a> by Shibasaki and hence the reason why I doodled a fish. I really like that rough layer style he did\u2026 Yes I do now have that coupy-pen ordered\u2026 I think I did have some of those as a kid, but it wasn\u2019t a staple for sure. Yeah I could do the same with color pencils and all, and ya all know I already have a ton of colors pencils (ok, or maybe you don\u2019t since I haven\u2019t been updating here\u2026). But\u2026 :X<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anyway, I want to bust out my art supplies a lot more and use them, try new styles, new supplies etc\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So yeah, the Emott comes with this cool plastic stand\u2026 And the pens have this little nub on the end that sticks right in there tight, so you can invert the whole thing and it won\u2019t fall off. The bad thing though, is that it\u2019s hard to take the pens out! I often end up ripping just the cap off. Especially if you only want the pen in the middle\u2026 Or if you are actively switching between colors\u2026 In the end I have to rip out all of them\u2026 So it\u2019s good for storage and looks neat for display, but practical usage? Not so much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" height=\"773\" width=\"580\" decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"138\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themessydesk.xyz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/img_2289-768x1024.jpg?resize=580%2C773&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-138\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" height=\"773\" width=\"580\" decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"137\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themessydesk.xyz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/img_2290-768x1024.jpg?resize=580%2C773&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-137\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" height=\"773\" width=\"580\" decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"140\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themessydesk.xyz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/img_2292-768x1024.jpg?resize=580%2C773&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-140\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" height=\"773\" width=\"580\" decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"139\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themessydesk.xyz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/img_2295-768x1024.jpg?resize=580%2C773&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-139\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" height=\"773\" width=\"580\" decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"136\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themessydesk.xyz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/img_2294-768x1024.jpg?resize=580%2C773&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-136\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" height=\"773\" width=\"580\" decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"141\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themessydesk.xyz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/img_2298-768x1024.jpg?resize=580%2C773&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-141\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" height=\"435\" width=\"580\" decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"142\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themessydesk.xyz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/img_2297-1024x768.jpg?resize=580%2C435&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-142\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The pencils have come with the stand too, the same one in fact. But there\u2019s four pencils in a set and the fifth slot is for the refill. I did buy extra refills from Tokyu Hands &#8211; the ones that were in stock anyway\u2026 And it isn\u2019t cheap. A pack of 8 leads &#8211; that\u2019s two per color &#8211; for 3 SGD. That\u2019s like 37.5 cents per lead. Compared to regular graphite leads\u2026 That\u2019s extorbidant isn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another downside I realised with trying to do entire drawings with these mechanical pencils is that\u2026 They are slippery and hard to hold a bunch of them at once\u2026 They just slip off\u2026 And fall off the table (I have very little desk space available so\u2026). And then after finishing you have to retract the mechanism one by one. And of course, looking at the photo now, the colors aren\u2019t as vibrant as proper color pencils\u2026 These look more like something drawn with really cheap color pencils\u2026 Or just, not burnished in and all. I did layer it up quite a lot, and in some ares it feels as if the pencil won\u2019t layer anymore. But I guess it\u2019s more meant for like\u2026 Sketch lines rather than a whole colored drawing. Oh wells. I had to give it a go though, and it was fun! It also does look better in person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" height=\"773\" width=\"580\" decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"144\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themessydesk.xyz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/img_2299-768x1024.jpg?resize=580%2C773&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-144\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" height=\"435\" width=\"580\" decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"146\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themessydesk.xyz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/img_2300-1024x768.jpg?resize=580%2C435&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-146\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" height=\"773\" width=\"580\" decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"143\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themessydesk.xyz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/img_2301-768x1024.jpg?resize=580%2C773&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-143\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" height=\"773\" width=\"580\" decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"145\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themessydesk.xyz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/img_2302-768x1024.jpg?resize=580%2C773&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-145\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally! The acrylic gouache. I did spend a while trying to find them yesterday afternoon\u2026 After my two meetings which I attended online. No surprise I guess, the bag of goodies from overjoyed was buried under stuff\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I was also so sleepy\u2026 I decided to bust out my ceremonial matcha and made some matcha latter. I need to learn how to make it properly though\u2026 So that I don\u2019t get that crap ton of matcha \u2018beads\u2019. I did end up ordering two of the bamboo whisks online lol. Hope they come soon\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-4 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" height=\"773\" width=\"580\" decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"147\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themessydesk.xyz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/img_2311-768x1024.jpg?resize=580%2C773&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-147\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" height=\"773\" width=\"580\" decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"148\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themessydesk.xyz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/img_2313-768x1024.jpg?resize=580%2C773&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-148\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" height=\"773\" width=\"580\" decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"149\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themessydesk.xyz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/img_2315-768x1024.jpg?resize=580%2C773&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-149\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" height=\"773\" width=\"580\" decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themessydesk.xyz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/img_2316-768x1024.jpg?resize=580%2C773&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-150\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p> So I finally got to try the acrylic gouche. I was pleasantly surprised that there was no additional seal in each tube\u2026 Which was good I guess. Because it\u2019s such a chore to have to open every single tube and you end up with paint on the foil that you don\u2019t want to waste etc\u2026 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also busted out this cool ceramic palette. The only problem is that\u2026 I don\u2019t have something to cover it and keep the pain moist\u2026 I ended up using some cling film so we\u2019ll see how that goes in a bit. I did squeeze out a bit too much brown by accident so as a result I decided to use a very limited color palette &#8211; just brown, yellow, white and black, and I was very pleased with how the painting turned out. Also nearly finished all the paint in the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I didn\u2019t bother with washi taping up the sides so the frame is all wonky. Yeah being lazy is one thing, but I feel that the wonky background frame adds to the appeal of the piece. It fits the whole folk art vibe IMO. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was fun to do this painting, and it was really easy to do too. Very simple shapes\u2026 Didn\u2019t use a reference even\u2026 I did see Mira do something like that in a video, but I can\u2019t remember which video so I just went in without a clear idea in mind. The dots were a bit tedious and I did have some issues with some of my brushes but after I got that sorted and used a different brush, it went a lot more smoothly. It was really fun. Despite how tedious the dots seem\u2026 It only took me like an hour and a half to do the piece, and that\u2019s including the time I took to look for brushes, and find cling wrap to wrap up the palette (I was just estimating by the photo time stamps!). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was kinda crazy though, starting a painting at 11:43pm. Well by the time I found the paints and made the matcha it was past 6pm\u2026 Which means dinner time\u2026 And then I wanted to go for a walk\u2026 Which I did for about 90 mins\u2026 (Walked over 6km, yay me, and also went to check out the night bazaar in the market for national day.) And by the time I cooled off, showered\u2026 It was really late. So yup, I painted till like 1:30 am, after which I decided to just leave the paint be and if it dries out\u2026 Well I get to use a different color palette for the next one.. (And it\u2019s really just thin layers of paint left, not at all that much.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-5 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" height=\"435\" width=\"580\" decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"152\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themessydesk.xyz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/img_2303-1024x768.jpg?resize=580%2C435&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-152\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" height=\"435\" width=\"580\" decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"153\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themessydesk.xyz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/img_2306-1024x768.jpg?resize=580%2C435&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-153\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" height=\"773\" width=\"580\" decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"155\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themessydesk.xyz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/img_2307-768x1024.jpg?resize=580%2C773&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-155\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" height=\"773\" width=\"580\" decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"154\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themessydesk.xyz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/img_2308-768x1024.jpg?resize=580%2C773&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-154\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Last bit, some miscellaneous photos. 1st one is the red and while lighting of the pasar malam (night market) from afar. Very eye catching, and I decided to check it out on the way back then. 2nd photo is from the side of the night market. I haven\u2019t been to a night market in ages\u2026 Ok, there\u2019s been food stalls on the empty space in front of West Mall and I\u2019ve walked by those, even bought myself a snack or two. But that\u2019s like\u2026 Half a night market? Not a fully formed one? With just two rows of food stalls. Ok this one isn\u2019t that big either, and it was missing some of the more iconic night market food stalls\u2026 But it did have stalls selling non-food items, like mobile accessories, clothes\u2026 Even a stall selling potted plants! Oh and there\u2019s that row of crane games. Didn\u2019t use to be a thing in night markets of the past, and it all but disappeared from everywhere but the game arcades like say, 10 years ago. But now they are back with a vengeance, and there are even crane game shops in malls. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally the last pic there is for an ergonomic pencil grip. I got two sets of these from Artfriend\u2026 Because I got those FC black edition color pencils that have a triangular barrel and it made my hand cramp after using them for a bit. Might be better now that my wrists and forearm are more rested and \u2018stronger\u2019. But thought I\u2019d give these a try as well\u2026 It\u2019ll be troublesome to use though, but\u2026 Oh wells.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-6 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" height=\"773\" width=\"580\" decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"157\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themessydesk.xyz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/img_2317-768x1024.jpg?resize=580%2C773&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-157\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" height=\"773\" width=\"580\" decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"158\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themessydesk.xyz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/img_2318-768x1024.jpg?resize=580%2C773&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-158\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" height=\"773\" width=\"580\" decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"159\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themessydesk.xyz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/img_2319-768x1024.jpg?resize=580%2C773&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-159\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" height=\"773\" width=\"580\" decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"160\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themessydesk.xyz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/img_2320-768x1024.jpg?resize=580%2C773&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-160\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" height=\"773\" width=\"580\" decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"161\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themessydesk.xyz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/img_2321-768x1024.jpg?resize=580%2C773&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-161\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This post would have ended right here but this literally JUST arrived at my doorstep. Literally just! Pokemon go plus+! Whee. I haven\u2019t been active in pokemon go for maybe like a year now\u2026 But I did feel like maybe playing it a bit casually again\u2026 And then pokemon sleep came out and when I saw that this guy could double as a sleep tracker, I understood why ppl were buying these in the Changi Jewel pokemon center a while back and yes, I was sold. I just ordered one off the internet though. Didn\u2019t realise it came with a cute pikachu themed strap. The strap ingeniously hooks to the clip via magnets. But alas, the magnet is so weak, it\u2019s not gonna hold the weight of the device I\u2019m sure\u2026 So I\u2019m not sure what the clip is for actually? I don\u2019t know. I haven\u2019t even put the strap on, or link it to my games yet. I just decided to pause there and finish up this post before getting back into it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So there, I\u2019ll end the post there, got a new toy to play with after all! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What the heck is folk art?
