Ozzy Osbourne
After my caricature of Sharon the other week I thought Ozzy needed a turn. Black and white of course, what else for the prince of darkness. I think I need to work on my animals!!!!!!!!!!!!
I Can't Help But Think ..
I wonder who ? (:*********
Rolland Garros Update !So far , the French Open has seen lots of ups , downs , wins and losses .
( If you watched the French Open , you'll know )
With more new , younger and more pro-active players participating in this major event , we see that sometimes the more experienced and senior players can lose their touch .
Among the big names that are out of the competition are as follow :
American all-star , Venus Williams 6-0 , 6-4 .
The Serbian Joker , Novak Djokovic .6-4 , 6-4 , 6-4 .
But most of the top players in the world of tennis maintained their positions and is one step closer , making it to the quarter finals .
Among the greats that played tremendously well and thus , succeeded are :
American ace , Andy Roddick .6-1 , 6-4 , 6-4 .
American star , Serena Williams4-6 , 6-4 , 6-3 .
Top seed , Dinara Safina .6-1 , 6-0 .
Swiss ace , Roger Federer .4-6 , 6-1 , 6-4 ,6-4 .
Russian ace , Maria Sharapova .1-6 , 6-3 , 6-4 .
Defending champion , Ana Ivanovich .6-0 , 6-2 .
British ace , Andy Murray .Because I am a Federer ( Roger ) fan , I burnt midnight oil to watch Federer battle it out against Frenchman Paul Henri Mathieu .
The 2 hour long match did not stop me from watching continuously until Federer made the last shot , winning the game .
Jaden's Analysis :
It was a rocky start for Federer , as Mathieu was indeed all strength and power . His return serves are so powerful that even Federer could not save .
Loosing ( Federer ) the first match , I was getting a little bit nervous as Federer doesn't usually lose the first match . But in the second set , it was all downhill for the Frenchman as Federer proves to be to tough with his massive forehands , and slick dropshots .
The third set was indeed a fair match , as both players rallied throughout the game , with Federer coming out on top .
The fourth ( deciding round ) match almost gave me a heart attack . Roger Federer was about to seal victory but the Frenchman gave much persistency , as his morale was constantly boosted by the crowd which seems to be on the Frenchman's side .
( It's the French Open , duh )
With lots of prayers from me , forehands from Federer , bouncy and silky hair from the man himself ( Federer ) , he finally made his last service of the game . He sealed the game off with a forehand the Frenchman could not receive and thus , ends the game in victory for Federer .
The bad thing I notice about Federer is that his one-hand backhands are very , weak . And he allows his opponents to hit the ball causing him to perform backhands . The reason why he won the Madrid Open against Nadal is because Federer constantly placed Nadal in the backhand position , whereby he ( Roger ) can perform vicious forehands .
Thus ends the tennis update !
I fell terribly sick today , and I couldn't put a foot out of bed today .
But things seem much better ( now ) , as I am able to walk and talk . Heck ! I can even blog . LoL.
I just got back from dinner at an Italian restaurant somewhere near SJMC ( Subang Jaya Medical Centre ) .
The food's great , especially the pizzas and the salmon ( which I ate ) . It's like my mum's cooking, and it really brought back good old memories of my childhood .
Lastly , I bought a wristband which all tennis players wear . It's black and kinda cool looking .Wanna' know what it looks like ?
Watch me play tennis , and you'll see .
(:
Alright , that's about it for today .
Rafael Nadal is battling with someone and I surely hope he losses ( increases the chances of Federer winning the Open ) .
While Sharapova is to play against Li Na , a Chinese woman from whereelse , China ! It's gonna be interesting to see how a Chinese player battles with Sharapova . LoL .
I also would like to wish everyone a happy holidays and stay safe !
Nightz !

Penelope Cruz
Today's picture of Penelope Cruz is more of a full body pose than a portrait. I liked the pose but as the facial detail was quite small it didn't lend itself to a full portrait. She's still recognisable though. One of the smallest pictures I've done in a while so the flaws are more visible. There's a case for work large and reduce, reduce, reduce!
Keep Your Coins
LONDON: Meek, Australian street artist, specializes in stencil graffiti and has been influenced by the work of Banksy, a British graffiti artist who uses his work to express his views on controversial societal and global issues -
"Some people want to make the world a better place. I just wanna make the world a better-looking place." (Banksy)

Reece Witherspoon- round 2!
Well, today I've had another go at Reece and I thought it was much better. So I scanned it and uploaded it then I thought, it's still not right, eew that right eye is way off!
So I fiddled some more and here she is. It's OK but I still think there's a lot of room for improvement but I think I need to start again rather than tweak anymore.
How not to draw Reece Witherspoon!
Well, today was a strange day. A mixture of good and bad. I wasted far too much time browsing through books...
Then there was the life drawing class, (moved to Thursday for this week only). A single pose for nearly 2 hours which came out well. Not sure whether to post it - possibly a little too revealing for this post
Feeling flushed with success I thought I should tackle a portrait. So, who to draw, Reece Witherspoon was my choice. This was the result of half an hours work - a quick sketch successful in that it's a convincing person. However, not a good likeness of Reece. I've decided to quit for the night and try again tomorrow!
OK now, time for the reveal, brace yourself for a bad likeness and feel free to laugh at this attempt, I do!
You can start laughing...
NOW!
