Description
we were supposed to doodle 'five people sitting around a table', and I end up doing this. I think it serves as proof that I must be homesick on some level. it's also ridiculous how happy it makes me to look at it. I STILL SUCK AT ARMS AND HANDS I KNOW PLEASE DO NOT MENTION THIS.somehow whenever I set out to draw a random couple it always turns out being my parents. x.x; figure. and the old guy was originally supposed to be the grandfather but I realise that looking at it now he could really be some RANDOM UNCLE that decided to sit with them and COMPRAIN about GAHMEN. xD
(disclaimer in case any of my family happen to stumble on this: kid is NOT based on any of my cousins. >.>; though certain elements might be similar...)
I might colour it eventually. we'll see.

Lol, I like the little kid, he's all like oblivious to everything else except to that big piece of food on his fork. I think you did an outstanding job on individuality of faves and expressions!

This has a very homey feel to it. I kinda feel homesick for you looking at this drawing. I hope you get to go back soon and see your family!

Ha! Oh, I love this! It's like a snapshot of a real family.
My favorite is the lady at the far left. She looks like someone I'd sit down and talk with, like one of my own aunts. =]
<3 I love all the little details, like the food, and the sign, and the empty bowls. <3

<3 thank you, that was so how I wanted it to look. and yeah, the idea for the old lady kind of came from my own grandmothers. they always treated us kids well, even when we were brats to them.
I was attempting to draw people sitting at tables doing other things, but it wasn't working. so I went with what I know best. <3
thanks muchly love!

<3<3 It's a treasure, this is one I think you'll come back to and it'll make you smile, years from now.
This one's got staying power.

haha. comprain comprain! i hope he's talking in hokkien.
i saw lee hsien loong today. he was wearing pink and a very blur expression. and he made someone faint!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
he most definitely is. xD
HAHA dare I ask what the story is?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ahha. Anyway it was at the SGB opening ceremony this friday ([link] ). he looked like he'd just woken up or something. and he didn't iron his shirt either haha. "mr. prime minister sir, would you like a coffee?"
Also the malay lady he gave the laptop to fainted. After he left, of course. Nobody faints in front of the PM!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
hahah aww. was the lady okay? how wonderful for her that she got the computer though!!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah she's fine. some of our BB primers (read: seniors) went to pray for her. which was good, but 1. she's a muslim, and 2. there were reporters. so all the officers were like 'you did what!?!', which i found very amusing for some reason.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
hahahah. but seriously, just because people are not Christian means that we shouldn't pray for them? I think that's rubbish. I certainly would be touched if my Muslim or Hindu - or anything else - friends prayed for me, even though I am very much a Christian. it's kind of like the thought that counts, you know?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No, not that, of course. It's just that they were worried about the media playing it up and whatever nonsense. You know how they and the gahmen are about religious 'harmony'.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah totally. seems to me though that in an ideal situation, nobody would be offended by such things. it all comes from the heart anyway

Wow, that's really good!
It looks like your art classes are worth the money
I can't wait to go to college, but then again, I don't like leaving my town and my sea D=
there's no sea to where I'm going
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Mirta!~ you're going to art college?! congratulations! it's a pity there will be no sea, though. <3 I wish you all the best.

I agree with you Swift, and that's why I've been drawing some humans and anthros too lately^^
Well I would like to go to biology first and then maybe to Art College
Still not 100% sure though since I'm still in elementary school O-o = P
Thank you Swift and I'm glad you enjoy it there <3
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
LOL, sorry, the way you said it I thought you were on your way already. xD
but yeah, from what I see of you you seem to have a really good attitude towards work and all. I wish you all the best with regard to your endeavours.

And you shush about the arms and hands. They look just fine to me and they fit in perfectly with the composition of the picture.

I think this one is really good! The old guy makes me laugh!

That kid porkin' out makes me giggle.

the younger generation of kids are apparently more and more like that - also note I gave him a fork instead of chopsticks and spoon.

This lady was like that too. :3 She always made us cookies and stuff. Then she got Alzheimer's and died a few months later. 
...
Um, OK, that was a bit dark. My bad. Her cookies were always amazing.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
D: poor lady. at least she was nice and sweet. sad about her husband too.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
He got better though, with time. He just needed some time to get support from his family, y'know? And it was a quick death, relative to most Alzheimer's victims. I was always thankful for that.

Haha I LOVE the old man! He really gives me that talkative Singaporean local feel XD His toothy expression is hilarious.
You're good at drawing people of different ages - a lot of artists nowadays seem to only draw young people (hehe...) I also like the interaction between the characters, how the auntie is looking after the kid.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
eee, thanks. <3 yeah that is totally what I was trying to go for really - I miss eating out at food centres with my family and my friends so much when I'm here! I even miss the noise! xD
and yes, I myself was guilty of that not long ago actually. xD but I heard the fact mentioned, and decided to try drawing other ages too. I still fail at drawing kids though, I am trying to design some to animate for my final project and they look WEIRD like shrunken adults or something. D: ah well. practice. xD
thank you again!

HAY! I think you do verra good at arms and hands.
Helluva lot better than I do!
