Using the tutorial by Oridusartic, here’s what I’ve come up with! This is actually my second attempt at using the Illustrator. I don’t think it’s well done at all, nothing compared to what Oridusartic has drawn but hey, at least I’ve tried.
I really need to spend more time playing with my Illustrator. By the way, the panda was drawn in Photoshop. :P He’s Mr Fluffy and he just got his hair done.

Furs Hair Dryer for pandas
I have been doing a lot of holiday shopping recently so I thought it’ll be a good idea to share some of my recent purchases. By the way, Singapore Watsons has launched a member’s card for fellow shoppers. I signed up yesterday, SGD 5 for lifetime membership. Although I would say the discounts ain’t fantastic but some of their monthly member prices looks pretty good. I do shop in Watsons occasionally so no harm getting the card for some of their good discounts. The points system is not impressive at all. We get 1 point for every $5 spend in the stores and 20 points is equivalent to $1 cash. It’s going to take a really long time to get that $1 cash redemption.
The vouchers that come with the member card are not tempting even, mostly $1/$2 off certain brand products, I would rather wait for the storewide 20% sales at John Little.

Hi, I'm Bim Bim

Initial rough sketch of the house
Yes, finally a new layout. Please say hello to Bim Bim. He’s the panda in this new layout and the current mascot of Amour Chaleur.
I finally manage to finish drawing and coding this layout after a whole month. Kawaiiness has been up for nearly 4 months and I think it’s time for a change. This entry will be dedicated to my little one.
It went through lots of changes before finalising on this design. In this final version, he’s wearing an artist cap and holding onto a paintbrush. Originally, he’s wearing a blue wholly hat and holding onto his bamboo stick. I can’t find the PSD file which has the old design, I might have override it.
So why the name Bim Bim? No particular reason though. I suddenly thought of it while I was studying for my exams and find it quite adorable and suitable for this little panda. I must confess that his house, also known as the “House of Panda” is slightly distorted. I draw it over from a photo of a Japanese tea house even though it look more like a traditional Chinese house. Well, technically speaking, pandas are from China.
