Look, I am not particularly good at using colours on my drawings. Plus, my usual doodles are very 2-D. The drawings that I am required to draw need to look 3-D.

On Tuesday, during Concept Development class, I drew a full tonal drawing of some pineapples. Meaning black and white only. Very comfy for me. I absolutely love black and white. Very pure, very real, very cool.

But we had to transform that black and white drawing to a full colour one.

I went, "That's it, I'm screwed,"

But something came over me that day. I've never tried using colour until that lesson. My coloured pencils were brand new when I used them.

Well, all I can say is, I am a natural artist.

When the lecturer saw my black/white drawing, he was damned impressed. When I started on my coloured version, he was even more impressed.

Midway into the class, the lecturer left the classroom to chat with another lecturer.

Suddenly, I found both of them hovering over me from the corridor. (I was sitting by the window, which was plain clear glass panels. Hence, they could see what I was doing.)

I looked up and the other lecturer gave me that "You're doing great!" look.

So I waved back and felt myself floating into air. Remember the air pumps??

So here's my work, "Pineapples at 99 cents":
