I began by drawing small thumbnails of things that best described me.

i actually liked the ideas of the microphone and shopping and the girl with straight fringe alot.
Therefore i decided to develop them into rough sketches.

This is actually my name with polka dots. Unfortunately it looks really ugly and it does not look like polka dots at all. It MAY look better with colours, I don't know. haha.


I chose a design with microphones and musical notes because i really love to sing, and also because i play music. i like the Y design alot. It looks really cute and nice to me. but the "e",
"N" and "G" look kind of boring though.


I wanted to incorporate some characters into the sketches so that it looks more "alive". And I thought, why not draw myself into the sketch? I wanted the characters to look like me, and also to personify the characters better. As i recently cut a new fringe, i decided to draw myself with my new hair into my name. Looks cute! ^^


I love shopping and clothes and all things bling bling, and so, i decided to have a sketch dedicated to my favourite pastime-shopping and looking at clothes.


From the above sketches, I realised that no one sketch can best describe me, because I'm a many-sided person. Therefore i decided to integrate most of the designs into 1. Also, i wanted to make my designs colourful to represent me better, because i am a person who loves colours (especially pink!) and cannot stand monotony.


the Yee remains as my favourite part of the rough. =)
actually the sketch does not look integrated enough, because the "Yee" is thin but the "Ning" is fat. therefore there is a weird contrast between them.



I decided to change my Y into a clothes stand with a dress on it. looks not bad. but the overall design looks too plain and boring. i like the high heels on the G though. Jing said she can imagine me wearing it, although i was not wearing heels on the tutorial itself. haha.
