Just messing around in Photoshop and ended up making a wallpaper with my latest drawing. You can download it free here if anyone’s interested.
I use a MacBook so I made a 1440 x 900 resolution image, sorry if that doesn’t work for you!

Everyone loves drawing pictures as a kid. It’s just fun. I still love drawing pictures, but it seems like most people forget, somewhere along the way, how much fun it is to doodle and color and just let your imagination go. So pick up a pen/pencil/marker/crayon/paintbrush and remind yourself. :)

On the topic of Neil Gaiman…

notcreepy asked: Hey I just found your blog and I have to say I am very very impressed. I know you are very busy but could you, If you find the time, post instructions about your technique? (Just maybe closeup scans/pics of your pen work). Ive been meaning to experiment with pens rather than pencil because pencil Isn't dark enough but I'm very bad at using pens.
Sure, I’ll definitely post some close-up photos soon so you can see the scribbly lines more clearly :) My advice if you’re starting out is to just go for it. Don’t be afraid of making mistakes because that’s how you learn! I make mistakes all the time and end up just changing the drawing to incorporate it, which usually makes for a more interesting result anyways, I think.
whilethinkingaloud asked: I really like your style, do you take requests?
If by request you mean an original commission, yes I do. Feel free to email at fong.deborah@gmail.com to discuss details.
If by request you mean suggestions for drawings you’d like to see posted on here, sure why not. :) Send me a message!
One last screenshot from my interactive iPad storybook app called B.B. Wolf. This is probably my favorite scene from the book :)
If you have an iPad, you can get the app here for $0.99!
hortusconclususmea asked: I really admire your work! Do you render by stippling? You must have supreme patience!
Thanks :) It’s like stippling but actually with little lines instead of just dots. And yeah sometimes when I’m trying to do a really precise drawing it takes almost more patience than I have!

My Friendly Neighbor Totoro was one my favorite movies as a kid and I think I made my mom watch it with me about a thousand times. To top it off, the version we had on VHS was in Japanese with Chinese subtitles, so I never knew what they were saying unless mom translated for me. So thanks, Mom, for that and, well, everything else.
Happy Mother’s Day to my mom and all moms out there!
