Smashing Sketches
Сингапур
Добавлен 23 июн 2008
This channel is primarily my art activities and tutorials for sketching beginners. Occasionally, I interview seasoned sketchers for their insights and tips on sketching as well as their approach to the craft. I am hoping to help beginners to smash more sketches out of the park! I will focus on Materials, informal Membership of art groups, Mind, developing Motivation and finally looking at processes or building sketching Muscles. When I travel for leisure, I might also pop in those short travel videos here as well... hope you enjoy my meandering... :)

what kind of pen do you use? Thank you 😊
I use Sailor Fude Nib Profit model 55 degree version. ruclips.net/video/aihfkQXrRQQ/видео.htmlsi=_7SCvPRmYgPKYT_8
I absolutely love your sketching style and the explanations! But please low down the background music, it's so hard to hear what are you saying...
Yes… got that. New videos will have no or very soft music. Really appreciate the feedback… 🙏😊
What super drawings in your sketchbook. I don't know if you are aware of the Hercule Poirot detective stories by Agatha Christie, (he's beautifully acted by David Suchet). Your boat trip reminds me of one of the stories where a select group are travelling on such a vessel. ("Problem at Sea"). Very elegant and evocative of the era. There is of course, a murder, but I'm sure your trip shall pass more peacefully 😄
Haha thank you! Yes I have seen the recent movie, hopefully no murder! 😂
@@WheeTeck 🤞🙏😄
Like your quick caricatures! Sadly I find the white gel pen not lasting.have switched to white posca marker
Yes that’s true. They don’t last so have to doodle with it often, they get clogged. Thanks for your support 🙏😊😊
Joy! That's what I see in all three sketches. I like all three a lot and am glad you had a reason to do each one. Following you in your travels is so much fun! I sit here in my corner and now understand the phrase armchair traveler. Whoosh! Off he goes again!
Haha! This will be the last trip for 2024… I have to anchor down and work on my new business ventures, cannot be gallivanting around while trying to start some new business 😆! I am very appreciative of your support as always!!
😍
Thank you!
You are wonderful sir❤
Oh thank you!
I loved when you laughed explaining the stress of having to do a decent job! I love all of your work and am sure you did more than a decent job, but your laughter keeps you real and lovable.
Always very encouraged by you! Thank you so much! 😊
How many Singaporeans? Thanks for your posting!
About 200 including those without tickets. I think about 130 with tickets… 😊
I am so happy for all of you! This is like being there! I see what you mean about the energy! Wonderful!
Hey. It’s such a good event. Missed the last two… determined to catch some old friends! 😊🙏
Hey, looks exciting! Great to see familiar faces from RUclips like Alvin and Parka, as well as yourself of course. As the lady said - inspiring!
Haha yes I am having a blast!!
Glad to see you made it to Asialink. Have fun! ☺
Thank you!!! 😊
Food, sketch, what else is there to life? lol
Haha! Spot on! 👍😊😊😊😂
I like public figure sketching. I have a book on the subject and copied many of the sketches. 5 Minute Sketching People by Scully I think it is. I don't do it in public though. In fact I haven't sketched in ages.
I thinks it’s fun to sketch people and imagine their lives … I used to sketch lonely business men in the airports, that’s how I started 😂😂
“The structure holds the sketch together”. Brilliant. Thankyou
👍😊😊🙏 Thank you!
What fun!
Oh ya! It’s starting officially tomorrow but we are here a day early!
I've been to a few AsiaLink Sketchwalks, Kuching, Taichung and Hanoi. I couldn't make the Penang event, but some of my Australian sketch friends will be there from Sydney, Melbourne and Canberra. Enjoy, I look forward to following the even with you.
Hey I am looking forward to this! Hopefully I will be doing interesting reporting…
Sunday morning with Whee Teck guarantees a time of peace and joy. "Artists should not go hungry" struck me immediately and caused me laughter, since I have begun practicing intermittent fasting and changing what I choose to eat. This artist needs to go hungry for a bit until she has better self-control! LOL! I'm weeks behind in creating art but, knowing myself as I do, I will make up for it when I begin again. Following you not on educates me, but keeps me mindful, so I won't leave creating behind.
Ah so nice to hear from you! We are given FREE “Get Out Of Jail Cards” from above… use it whenever we are in creative ruts 😂 but no stress, not even making art…
Looks yummy!
Haha! Yes it was yummy!!! 😋
Lovely final result. I like your loose watercoloring technic of mixing diferent colors. It does give an awesome result
Hey thank you 🙏😊😊
Beautiful sketch ❤️
Thank you!!🙏
Whee Teck, when I click on the photo links I get an error code. "Oops, we couldn't find this page." In any case, Happy Sunday!
Thank you, I think Pexels was down. Can you try again? Have a blessed Sunday…
@@WheeTeck, I continue to get an error message. I can explore Pexels...I just can't get to the links you posted. I'm curious to see if anyone else has this problem.
@bethnolastname hmmm… I may have to find another site. Pexels is getting unreliable
Or go to Pexels look up my account, you will find the photos there
@@WheeTeck I did that. I tried Whee Teck and Whee Teck Ong. Twelve pictures come up, but I don't think they are pictures you took.
U r wrong and the comments are not helpful either. URA is going to leave the mural alone. This is a wrong decision for the following reasons. 1. The depiction of the Samsui woman is most inappropriate. True, most of them smoke but that’s not what they are most known for. They are most known for their hard work in construction. This was shown in a TV serial which ended recently. Many buildings in Singapore, especially those older ones, bear the evidence of their labor. It is most insensitive to depict them as a smoker, health risk message aside. Why not show them as hardworking construction workers. For example, one balancing two baskets full of building material on a pole over her shoulder? This would have paid homage to their contributions to the building up of Singapore and their place in Singapore’s history. 2. Why use an American artist? How much does an American know about Samsui women? A local Chinese artist would be better suited for the work. 3. Now we know that the mural was done without approval from relevant authority, URA. This should not be passed just because it has been done. It would set a wrong precedent. In future, people will draw public murals or complete a construction without official approval in the belief that once it’s done, it will not be taken down. 4. Indian male laborers also have a place in Singapore's construction history. They are known for their drinking habits too. Would a mural of an Indian laborer consuming alcohol be appropriate? The right thing to do now is to white wash the mural, allow the building owner to apply for another one, this time with a copy of the mural on paper. This one should pay proper tribute to the hard work of the Samsui women in building up Singapore.
Thanks for you comments, I welcome the challenge. I think URA finally did the right thing to leave it alone. I think I am right for these reasons: 1) While I agree the cigarette element in the mural might be seen as inappropriate, it's important to remember that Samsui women were also known for smoking (and we agree on this). Yes, that shouldn't be their defining characteristic. They were, after all, celebrated for their incredible contributions as construction workers, which is how they're portrayed in most media (almost 99%). But, is it insensitive to show them in any other way than carrying heavy loads? Does art have to be limited to such a narrow image? Limiting their portrayal in this way feels restrictive and controlling, almost like something out of a dystopian novel. We shouldn't shy away from learning about history through art, but art can also be about looking forward and sparking creativity, a skill we definitely need now. History is important, but so is creative expression. Therefore, I don't believe your first point holds much weight. 2) That's an interesting point, but I actually think it raises a broader issue. If we limit artists to depicting only cultures they share an ethnicity with, it creates a closed system. Imagine the flip side: Western critics dismissing Singaporean artists because they're not Western. That's exactly the kind of racial bias we should be moving away from. Great art can transcend cultural background. The artist's ability to capture the essence of the subject, their skill and vision, are far more important than their ethnicity. Therefore, we should not use this point at all. 3) You raise a good point about obtaining proper approval. URA absolutely has a responsibility to ensure public art meets certain standards. However, I think their communication could have been handled better. Focusing solely on the unapproved nature of the mural, without mentioning the anonymous complaint, might have led to a more productive discussion with the artist and landlord. As for setting a precedent, it's important to remember Singapore's commitment to racial and religious harmony. Art that disrupts this will likely be removed regardless, precedent or not. However, well-meaning art that sparks public debate can be a positive thing. Perhaps a clearer approval process, combined with open communication, could avoid situations like this in the future. Ultimately, we want to encourage public art while maintaining Singapore's core values. 4) You're absolutely right that Indian laborers played a vital role in Singapore's construction history, and their contributions deserve recognition. It's also true that some laborers enjoyed drinking after work. However, the question of portraying alcohol consumption in art is a bit more nuanced. While shying away from reality altogether isn't ideal, art can also be sensitive to potential social messages. A mural depicting laborers enjoying a drink after a hard day's work could be a celebration of their camaraderie. However, it's important to consider the portrayal as well. Does it glorify excessive drinking? Does it reinforce stereotypes? Context is key. Open discussion about these complexities is what allows art to spark meaningful conversations. Ultimately, the appropriateness of such a mural would depend on the specific execution and the message it conveys. Ultimately, I believe art should be allowed to be art, within the reasonable boundaries established to maintain Singapore's racial and religious harmony. These boundaries are essential, but they shouldn't stifle creative expression. In the case of Sean's mural, I don't see any disrespect towards the Samsui women. Instead, it sparked a valuable conversation about how we portray historical figures. This is exactly what art can do at its best: challenge perspectives and make us think critically. Let's encourage more thought-provoking art that pushes boundaries in a healthy way, sparking public discussion and debate. Moving forward, as we mature as a society, we assume not that Singaporean are simpletons, we can have more edgy art that challenges our assumptions, make us critical thinkers, I think will foster a more vibrant artistic landscape in Singapore, which leads us to a better place.
🎉🎉🎉🎉 thank you for the botero fat bird card
Welcome!! 🙏 🤗
I'm glad you found the original sketch!
Yes me too! Haha…
I was so sleepy I put the wrong thumbnail!! 😂😂😂
Just fixed it!
@@WheeTeck I saw that, but trusted that you would see it...and you did! :)
It’s strange because I was on autopilot, not only did I get the thumbnail wrong but the text was aligned to the thumbnail and was wrong haha 🤣
Where do you find sumsui women smoke filter cigarrete. Can they afford. For all we know they probably go to the coffee shop to take the used tea leaves and dried it, roll the the tea leaves in a small pc of paper and smoke. The devil is in the way she looks and hold the cigarrete.
Pencil sketch, then watercolour, finishing with pen & ink is the way I usually sketch, I find it a good compromise between loose and detailed.
Thanks for sharing! I find a lot of people are switching to ink last too…
It's a joy to see you sharing a sketch on a Sunday again! I did copy the picture and will practice later this afternoon!
Yes will try to do more on Saturday or Sunday morning… 🙏😊
Art plays a crucial role in reflecting the times we live in, representing our identities and preserving our memory.
That is no question absolutely true🥰
I find it disturbing that the opium war is white washed and most SG kids have never heard of it, not even in our schools. Whereas in HK there's a whole museum telling about this uncomfortable part of history.
I think a lot of our history is angled, although in recent years it’s loosen up. More can be done!
This video is pure perfection.
Uncomfortable conversations are very necessary for people who are at odds with one another to gain insight into one another's point of view. I see art as an expression of individual views and values. I don't like all that I see, but I do believe in freedom of expression. It's that freedom that makes art what it is.
Indeed! I don’t smoke, I don’t do opium but a piece of art depicting it should not be banned in my view! I think our values are similar ha!
Super inspiring... So much packed into a compact video. (Oh, btw I wrote a haiku recently 😃 ... with a sketch)
Yay!! Nice… in your IG? Share it here?
@@WheeTeck Will sort that..
Play! Always! My inner child is 5 years old. I call my genre Refrigerator Art. "Look what I made!" Following you causes me joy, Whee Teck. I'll be watching this video again so I can hit pause and read all you have written. I'm thrilled that you are being true to yourself and continuing to follow your own path!
Always happy to hear from you! I want to grow more into a child like personal haha! You are inspiring me… 🙏😂
What a wonderful video! From the beginning, I thought if I were to paint this same scene it would turn to mud. I am fascinated by the speed with which you can create. I am reminded of an orchestra's conductor waving his baton. The hint about using a fountain pen dipped in paint is awesome. I will be using that idea. "Do as I say, not as I do!" I'm still laughing over that! Joy! That's what the experience is all about. I have to be careful because listening to you as you paint is as joyful as painting itself! I could get lazy and simply watch your videos without ever picking up a brush!
Ya my lazy bones kicked in when I started traveling a month back… now aching to get back into the groove!!
Thank you for this video! It was so calming and beautiful. How did you do the overhead positioning for recording art tutorials? I was thinking of buying an overhead table stand for whichever camera I buy (still undecided between this and the sony zv e10) but it looks like you are achieving this with the gimbal/stand that comes with the creator’s kit? If so, would you mind sharing how you positioned the camera to achieve the overhead view (how you bent the stand to accomplish this)?
Hey sorry took so long to respond. Been traveling… I will post a photo for you…
@@WheeTeck Thank you, l look forward to it! Hope your travels went well.

The word art means creative freedom to me. I'm the only one who has to like what I do for me to call it art. That took me 75 years to sort out. (I'm bright, but rather thick...hee hee) I could spend all of my time listening to what you have to say in your videos. I keep smiling and nodding my head "Yes!"
If I have a wand I will tap you with to increase your superpower so that you can spread even more joy to others! (I think prayer might do the same…) Haha…
Great story and super little sketches 😅🤗🙏
Ha! Thank you 🙏 😊
I love the simplicity of your sketches!
Thanks! These are meant to be illustrations for the book. So keeping it as simple as possible. You have a great Sunday!!
You never disappoint!
Haha! Thank you… I hope it gives you some fresh ideas… 😊
Major change. It's good that you have the opportunity to step away from everyday activity to reset. Being upgraded to a suite surely helps! I hope events occur that zap you with joy!
Indeed big change! I am blessed in many ways, the Lord has been really good!! 😊🙏🙏
Welcome to bangkok
Thank you!! Love BKK!!
Welcome to BKK 🥰🥰🥰
Thank you. Will definitely return!!
Love the sketch of the vendor!
Awww thank you
Great to see your video today. I've just had major knee surgery so it's lovely to have the familiarity of your videos combined with the vicarious pleasure of your travels. Since you introduced me to haiku I've come to think that you have a flair for them. What also intrigues me is the concept of haiku sketching. Economy of line. I feel as though if there were slight guidelines for haiku sketching, they might show me a way into a style of drawing I might explore... Any thoughts on this? 😊🙏
Hey. Sorry for the silence been recording from vacation fatigue!! I know that’s not a nice to say when it’s such privilege to be able to go away. Was in Bangkok then Vietnam… so now back!! Yes each of us need to find our own voice, sketching and writing to different. I think of simple strong lines whenever I sketch. That’s how I like them, but it’s not everyone’s style… so should find your own style!
@WheeTeck Aw no worries, it's lovely of you to take the time to reply. Good reply too, the answer is within me, and I must find it 🧐🙏. Thank you... 🤗🙏
Haha yes!! The artist must find themselves… within… 😂
Thank you for this. I also use line weight to show depth. Thicker lines for objects in front.
Hey thanks for tuning in!! 😊🙏
From Kenya. I immensely enjoyed watching n listening to the interview. Very informative indeed. Thank you.
Hello! Glad you like them. This one is quite old…but Asnee is a great guy!
