Lone man
The sky in the background is quite messily done. The brushstrokes are not blended enough, hus creating such a messy and unfinished look. I liked drawing the trees. This style of drawing trees with lines to create contours is Jimmy Liao’s famous trademark (probably). It’s fun to draw lines 
Man with Umbrella
Man with umbrellaHere’s another drawing from the same book. Pls ignore weird stick-on effect of the guy’s right hand and the lamppost on the right. I made a mistake and had to replace those areas with another piece of paper, which unfortunately turned out to be of diffeent texture. I feel that the use of colours in this painting is quite effective, it brings out the ‘aliveness’ of man and the lights as compared to the dead and still tree at night.

hey great watercolour painting, I especially like the second one “Man with umbrella”. The glow of the light helps to create a sense of contrast with the background. Great water colour techniques too! I love Jimmy’s works (: Maybe I shall try out painting/duplicating his works too!

oh my gosh, i didn’t know you were that good at watercolour painting. haha! i didn’t dare to believe it was done by you at first, and thought that it was a picture in 几米’s book.
anyway in your “lone man”, i like the way the gradient of the man’s shirt is done, i’m not sure why too…just that it gives a very nice feeling. as for the brick wall behind, maybe you shouldn’t have outlined the lines separating the bricks. as in i can see a darker shade of the paint, which makes the bricks look a little fake.
as for the painting “man with umbrella”, i like the glowing effect of the lamp posts…really nice, i can almost imagine it glowing. i also like the effect produced by the falling leaves alot!
well done leny! woots!
