Cheap and good food

With heat on rising food prices recently, there’s a lot of price comparisons going on for hawker food. Everyone’s been complaining about the pain on their pockets. It’s not surprising that some stalls are making use of this time to raise prices but I would say a majority of them are absorbing the cost too, especially those from the heartlands.  I just went to the market and bought a big packet of Chinese mee siam for $2.  The portion was pretty huge and I couldn’t even finish it alone even though it’s super duper delicious.  The Mee Rubus at this stall is also very nice!!  I would say it’s way too much if prices are adjusted by $0.50 just due to the inflation because the actual increase is only probably less than $0.10-$0.20 if you were to divide the costs equally on the number of customers each stall would get.  An average stall can sell about 150-200 servings( a very low figure liao) each day from dawn till night so he would earn an extra of $75 per day if he raises price by $0.50 for each serving.  The raw food prices are not so inflated to this extent. Their profit is most likely $1 for each serving.  Do some maths and you will know how much restaurants are earning! Yet they pay so low for their serving crew..

My evil carrot

Learning how to draw eyes..

Experimented on different ways of drawing eyes but I find that all of them turn out to have that lifeless look.    Not too sure what I’m missing out though.  Chanced upon a few fantastic drawing websites today.  It’s amazing how talented these artists are.  I will share the links on the blogs later.  My works looks super amature compared to theirs loh.. I have a long way to go but I won’t give up.  You would realise that I did not draw in the eyelashes.  That’s because I dunno how to do so.  Everytime I add a few curly lashes, it makes the drawing look damn ugly so I took it out in the end.

Shadow

On The Edge…

It took me 20 mins to draw this.  I was just inspired to draw this suddenly.  Looks amateurish to you maybe but it means a lot to me now.
