I've been spending several weekends in a row blogging in Steemit since I decided to involve actively in this new found community. Things got bored really soon and I think this is a good chance having some fun outdoor today. There is a beautiful lakeside nearby my place and I always wanted to spend a leisure afternoon with @jessie901220 here someday, I can experiment with some scenery sketching skills too.
美好的周日，中 Steem 毒已深的我决定不再躲在房间里埋头写作，来个久违的户外写生吧。在新加坡 Chinese Garden 一带有个大湖，就在住的地方附近，环境清幽，早就想和 @jessie901220 来这里度过一个悠闲的下午了。
This is the lakeside by Chinese Garden, Singapore. Clear sky with a calm big lake is going to be a great material for the sketching. This is a fishing zone too, you can see people fishing with various tools and some of them were skillful enough to harvest generous amount of fishes.
蓝天白云，加上绿草和湖泊，Perfect！这里同时是合法的钓鱼区，可以看见不少发烧友在这里垂钓。有者似乎功夫到家，收获颇丰。写生之余抬头看看身边人们的动静，也挺有趣的。
Finally I got the chance to pose this legendary move that I learned from the TV or comics when the artist start to sketch the scenery. Not sure what this trick does anyway haha.
终于有机会摆出传说中写生摆的 Pose，说真的我也不懂有什么用处，懂行的朋友请来解惑。
After the posing warm-up session, it's time to get the real work started.
在一顿摆 Pose 拍照热身完毕之后，终于可以坐下来好好写生了。
For the scene were too wide it is good to lock down a specific area to draw from. I chose the left side of the lake for it has richer objects like the trees and buildings for the content.
由于区域太过广阔，首先必须选好中意的视野。我选了靠左边的景色，有树有建筑物，感觉内容丰富些。先大概起个草稿。
Use heavier line to confirm the objects.
然后用稍微重的手法确定内容。
Added the buildings which are the local HDBs and where we are staying.
加上建筑物，那些是本地的组屋区，也是靠近我们租房的区域。
Inverted image in the water.
加上水上的倒影和细节。
Enhance the details and we are almost done. We can definitely touch up more to make it more lively but my arse already complaining for sitting at a hardwood this long.
把细节强化一遍，大致上就完成了。后期可以再加工，但是现在腰都有点疼了，就此打住吧。

Bright sky and gentle breeze, what a perfect place to hanging around.
微风徐徐，偶有人声喧闹，天上鸟儿划破天际，宁静周日完美的去处。
No easel no watercolors and various kind of brushes, only a pencil and sketchbook will suffice for sketching. This is why I love sketching so much, top choice for lazy artist.
没有画架没有水彩，这次只用了一支铅笔就在常用的绘画本上作业了。这就是素描的迷人之处，简单方便，懒人画家的不二首选。
Mobike and Obike, we biked here from our place which is 10 minutes away. Thankfully, they are not taken after our session so that we can biking back the same way.
两辆共享单车正是我们来到这里的坐骑，差不多有十分钟的路程。幸运的是，当我们收工时它们还在这里没被人骑走，可以同样的骑回家啦。
Lastly, I present you the author himself. 最后附上作者本人。
She was just beside me practicing her singing. 她就在一旁练歌作伴

Have been there a few months. Word has it the tortoise museum has to go.
Been inside the garden itself a year back, the tortoise museum was in renovation. Should take a look inside next time.
Nice artwork. It’s cool to see the process.
Thanks, I enjoyed the process very much too.
Wow... I love the scenery!!! And your sketch is so detailed!!! ^^ It's amazing... :D
