Gaki N Me If you love to talk about the world, love Asian idols, this is the place.

Thanks to Martin Williams of the Hong Kong Outdoors site for allowing me to use his photos as reference for my future Hong Kong sketches. He has many unique photos different from the commercialized shots of Hong Kong because the outdoors is where his heart is.  I am so happy to have come across his site recently. I have not even seen many of the scenes he has shot in fabulous sunsets when I was growing up in Hong Kong. The first one is a ferry to Cheung Chau Island, which is a favorite weekend short trip for many and where windsurfers hang out. Here's the photo reference. This one is totally done with a 0.7mm mechanical pencil. The second one is Tai Mei Tuk in the northeastern part of the New Territories. Here's the photo reference. I am a bit apprehensive about doing it in color and so used a carbon sketch and wash pencil to do the gray, and dotted some sampans in with the 0.7mm mechanical pencil.
