My "Singapore Breakfast Set" for #draw53sg
I had started out seeking contributions of sketches from Singapore and Singapore-based artists/hobbyists to post on the TOYSREVIL on August 9th - to help commemorate and celebrate Singapore's 53rd birthday - on both my Instagram and my personal Facebook (not openly soliciting :p), and did two drawings for that - one specifically to use as the base for a "want ad" (so to speak) ... and another as a contribution to said project/challenge - BOTH of whom are essentially "kaya-toast and eggs"!
The top image used for the "want ad" was based on the sketch (posted below), which I had somewhat altered (in "previews" on my Mac, since I'd lost the use of Photoshop, for some wars now :p). Unfortunately the "red" I had used was more "pink", so I had to "cheat" with a digital image instead :p\
And yes, I HAD to have a hashtag, right? Check "#draw53sg" on Instagram for everyone's contributions :)
The subsequent image I re-drew, was the kaya-toast + soft+boiled-eggs + coffee combo, which hardly turned out the way I'd wanted it to (I can only blame my weak foundation skills, or lack thereof LOL), and this notion I had wanted to use the YELLOW paper base as the "yolks" in the drawing, while colouring everything else around it ... the result being: IT'S ALL YELLOW, tragically so! LOL
Featured directly below is the "original" image unfiltered, while the subsequent Instagrammed image has been filtered in-phone, after being cropped in camera (*I've not scanned any image for the past few years as I currently do not own a scanner, and post direct off mobile-phone snaps of my doodles LOL).
MY CAPTION: "This simple breakfast spread of 2 half-boiled eggs with dark soya-sauce and white pepper, alongside a kaya toast combo, washed down with black coffee no sugar, is a “typical” Singapore breakfast I am used to, that reminds of my home country ... not necessarily the “taste”, but sometimes of the everyday mundane folks - like myself - have taken for granted.
I do not wholly enjoy Kopi oh korsong, only becoz post-Stroke I try to avoid sugar thanks to my diabetes, and milk as it has since become disagreeable with my tummy hahaha simple food and beverage but can’t simply eat them guiltlessly :p ... but I can’t complain about my status quo, at the very least I can enjoy the eggs nomnomnom
I don’t necessarily adore it, as much as I appreciate it :)
This is my contribution to #draw53sg, celebrating Singapore’s 53rd Birthday, #onTOYSREVIL :)"
Featured below is a montage of everyone else's contributions thus far (aiming to stop uploading more this Sunday/tomorrow, but we'll see... I am not here to deny anyone's contributions (Even my mum's doodling something right now as I type this at hand-to-12 midnight on Saturday night LOL)
