Monochrome Sketch

Little illustration I did for fun.
Exploring hair styling and retain sketch drawing without changing the feel of it while digital painting.

My Little Apple Head

Made this little version of my apple head I made for my profile photo purpose.

From my earlier post of Trip to California Sneak Peek, I made my version of Roaming Gnome to take him with me to take photos of places we traveled.

Pattern is made up by me so there's no "exact" shape to follow the pattern. The head is standard 4-piece sphere pattern that you can find online.





Little Apple Head Materials:
- Red felt (head and body)
- Green felt (leaf)
- Brown felt (stem)
- Fabric scissors
- Sewing threads: red, green, brown
- Crochet thread: black
- Sewing machine
- Sewing needle
- Cotton for stuffing
- Fabric fuse
- Glue gun





Step 1:
Sew 4 pieces together for the head(left) and the body(right). Then trim edges into triangle for smoother rounded finish when flipping inside out.







Step 2:
Cut out 2 leaf shapes with green felt. Use fabric fuse to keep the fabric nice and stiff.




Step 3:
With front side, using sewing machine with zig-zag setting, stitch the leaf veins for more interesting look.





Step 4:
Face the front sides to each other and stitch together.
Flip it inside out.





Step 5:
To make the stem, use fabric fuse on to brown felt. Fold in half.
With sewing machine with double stitch setting, stitch the shape of the stem.





Cut off the edges around the stem.





For the leaf, close the edge where you flipped it inside out with invisible stitch.





Step 6:
Glue gun apple head, stem and leaf together.





Step 7:
Stuff the head and the body.





Step 8:
Stitch the head and body together.







Step 9:
Similar method as making the stem for arms and legs.





Use glue gun to attach the arms and legs





Step 10: 
With any sewing thread, markdown eyes and mouth location.





With black crochet thread(or any black yarn), stitch the eyes and mouth over the marker.





And this is my little roaming Apple Head that I traveled with.

Say hello to Apple Head!

Pixar Parades

Usually when I hear parade it's the best time to either get on the rides that has long lines or grab food/drinks that usually have waiting time.

But not this time.
You know the deal anything Pixar, we'll go see anything!


Pixar Play Parade
New parade they have for Pixar Fest! Starts every 6pm with all Pixar theme.
Anyone who heard the music for this parade, I swear I had the song stuck in my head for a little too long. Then eventually It's a Small World took over but that was also hypnotizing.

Every detail was amazing for this parade, fun and colorful...





























I was amazed by the detail of this Up house. Why don't they sell these??









Paint The Night
This parade was beautiful. People were mentioning Fantasmic was one of the best show but this was by far the best one. Couldn't really get into it when Sorcerer Mickey was still being unwise and still makes stupid decisions.

It was unfortunate we couldn't watch World Of Color to compare but again, this had another Pixar theme so anything goes.

Night photos are always challenging for me. I realized afterwards that we should sat in the area that has more light in the surroundings so I can capture it easier. But it was either that or get the front seat with better view.
