What defines the best souvenir is somewhat subjective, everyone has their own taste to keep in mind, as well as interests and price range etc. However there are some qualities of a great souvenir which could be agreed upon – it reminds one of a place and time, it evokes a certain feeling, and is likely to be light and easy to pack. It might be either useful or beautiful, and it is hopefully easy to purchase within one’s planned holiday itinerary. Let’s consider souvenirs which might fit this list, which you can easily find when you are out and about in Singapore. Firstly, let’s consider traditional Singapore souvenirs. Singapore is a wonderful mix of many different cultures. Peranakan culture is one part of Singapore’s diverse and rich heritage, and is known for its distinctive nonya kebaya, colourful homewares and delicious food – two of my favourites are chap chye and kueh salat. There are lots of options to purchase beautiful Singapore souvenirs which reference Peranakan culture. Take for example these lovely coasters, or this beautiful Peranakan porcelain. Maybe you would like to take part in a beading workshop, or maybe buy your own pair of beaded shoes? You may also enjoy a book about Peranakan food (affiliate link).

There's one dilemma I have in Procreate, the platform I use and love for all my digital artwork!
That's filling in shapes! It's easy to colour drop and fill in your work with a flat airbrush style texture, but trying to add a different texture also is not so easy. In a few of my works recently I have wanted to create a kind of picture-book style pencil finish, and so I have been looking for a shortcut to fill in shapes which gives me a nice clear outline at the same time as giving me that grainy-style look. If you want to try this out yourself, you can watch the youtube video below which I made, which shows my process. As I say in the video notes, there are some other ways to achieve this textured effect, but this is the way I like to fill shapes. |
