Scientist by day, artist by night. Urban sketcher and hobby artist. And scientist. All rolled into one.
Plus a quick train sketch to start off the year.
This guy kept moving non stop so it was hard to draw… I like how it turned out though!

First sketch of 2026! The red crane caught my attention so I had to do a quick sketch. Probably my third time sketching this building… and it’s been really long since I sketched around my office area.

A quick sketch of the bus on the first day. Might color it in next time or something… or not. But yeah I had to stop because I started to get motion sick.

A bit of a late post this one... This was done on Sunday when still in JB. My colleagues went for a massage while I just sketched in the hotel room on the 33rd floor.

First lab mega outing to JB! I did some sketches on the way there. And of my colleagues… which were absolute fails and don’t look like them at all but oh wells. That’s how it is I guess. Still a long way to go for me.

I did two sketches last night. The first at the noodle shop that I’ve been frequenting sometimes after work. And a second one on the train.

The moving continues today. Me and my mum just pushed a box to the new house. A lunch break first before more unpacking… then we’ll head back to pick up more stuff and we’ll see how many rounds we can do…

Since I took out my field case this morning to take some pictures to show on discord… I had to get a sketch in on the way to work instead of “wasting” my time watching YouTube.

Just one sketch today because balancing on the train with a ton of mcd’s for dinner (for three of us) isn’t easy. Thank goodness I have a recycling bag that’s sling. And carabiners on my backpack for the drinks and ice cream.

I squeezed in a quick sketch before having dinner with my parents at the mall. Can’t say it’s the best sketch but I’m happy with how I managed to squeeze all three subjects into that one small page! That was mission accomplished for me!

No sketch today, 1st time my weekdaily sketching streak has been ‘broken’. It was my company gala dinner today. Cabbed down to the event with colleagues. Then chatted with them on the way home, all the way till my train stop. It’s special circumstances so… I’m not counting it as broken 🤣

Pt 2. Gosh that last one is bad. She was moving a ton, covering her mouth and laughing so hard that you could see her teeth. Clearly it would have gone better if I drew a hand covering the mouth instead of… whatever this abomination is 🤣🤣🤣
