A holiday AEP workshop with Singaporean artist James, where we explored urban sketching, perspective, colour and everyday visual storytelling.

Sketching With a Pro

A mixed-media horse composition developed through graphite, ink, wash and layered atmosphere, combining figure drawing with imagined landscape elements.

The Horse Between Worlds

A handmade stop-motion animation created during the December holidays for an AEP project, using clay, Play-Doh and iPads.

Small World, Stop Motion

A clay creature sculpture made during AEP around age 10–12, based on an ambitious ink design that was difficult to translate into 3D.

Damage Became Design

Academic Realism

Grey Studies

A graphite study series created around age 10–12, exploring tone, form, shadow and observation through simple objects and interior setups.

A black-and-white photography series taken around age 13–14 in the coastal countryside of China, where low tide left fishing boats resting in mud, rocks and still water.

Low Tide Remains

A SOTA application piece created when I was around 9–10 years old, imagining a future Singapore where nature, technology, fantasy and city life grow together.

Singapore, Grown Into the Sky

A lino print developed through sketches, composition studies and carving, exploring how cats, architecture and sunlight can form a simple visual story.

Sunlit Alley

An expressive ink horse study created with traditional pencil, graphite and ink, supported by Apple Vision Pro as a reference-positioning tool.

Ink Thunder

My Hobby

Learning from the Master of Ink and Silence

A close master study of Sergio Toppi’s work, recreated with respect to learn how his composition, scale, ink textures and use of negative space create such powerful visual storytelling.

A black-ink visual study series exploring western-inspired figures, riders, shadows, movement, and cinematic character design.

Frontier Nocturnes

An early childhood drawing of an old Singapore street scene, created when I was around 7–8 years old. It captures my early interest in busy environments, culture, and visual storytelling.

Old Street, Loud Memories

An observational ink drawing that explores the layered complexity of urban architecture through perspective, structure, and linework.

Vertical Memories

The car is shown without its characters, leaving their presence to be felt through absence.

Still Driving

Using my photographs as references, I created a series of sketches to study the forms, proportions and characteristics of the birds. I then developed these observations into paintings, exploring colour, texture and composition. This project allowed me to transform real-life observations into more personal and expressive artworks.

From Observation to Expression

For this AEP spread, I explored a variety of mediums including oil pastel, charcoal, mixed media, and photography. I wanted to understand how different materials could create different visual effects and communicate ideas in unique ways. Through still life studies, artist-inspired works, observational drawings, and photography, I experimented with both realistic and expressive approaches to art.

AEP SPREADS: MEDIUMS

For this project, I started by looking at the theme of the four seasons and using nature as my main source of inspiration. I created a mood board with images of spring, autumn, and winter landscapes to explore different colours, moods, and natural forms.

From the Four Seasons to a Winter Samurai

What I remember most isn’t the drawing — It’s how my dad taught me to use correction tape for the white highlights. No fancy tools. That’s when I realised: art begins with the ordinary.

“This is the kind of moment we chase our whole lives — not because it’s big, but because it’s true. Two people, framed by quiet architecture, sitting still while time moves like water outside. It’s Japan, yes. But it’s also memory. And memory… is cinema.”‍

My Parents

The first bird stood quietly, almost blending into its surroundings. Its dark feathers and sharp eyes gave it a calm yet confident appearance.
