Basically I'm just bad at the internet.

An assignment for my Advance Painting class. We have to do six square panels that are bigger than 12 inches by 12 inches but smaller than 30 inches by 30 inches, and also abstracted non-representational. What. It’s a struggle. They’re due on Tuesday, so I have a lot of work to do. Hopefully my shame will be small and my ego replenished for my next update.

It's been sort of fun. I am both amused and frustrated by my professor's disapproval of my methods. Mostly I want to say: I have a process, alright, trust me, I know what I'm doing. But I really have no idea what I'm doing. I only /sometimes/ have an idea of what I'm doing. I'm not going to lie, I daydream about being at the local fine arts school with my friends and just drawing genitals on everything. Hey, it works for them. Who doesn't like a good, happy yoni staring up at them.

Add some rust grade

mouuuuldit

My casted fist of fury. It's a cement mixture...thing. Sorry, I was busy texting with my friend to pay attention to what the teacher was saying. Anyway, so stage one complete.




Now to decorate it. And there is where I am stuck. D:

Progression of light through an open window, no that's not it.

Basically my mother has a habit of getting me to do free art for other people, mainly her friends, and I respond by never getting it done. But this one is a birthday present for an uncle I love, so just this once, I'm going to do it. Let's go through the steps.

Disclaimer: I haven't slept in over 24 hours, I have no good will in my heart for even the most adorable kitten. This is a heed to take caution.

Right, set up, simple shapes. Good music is a must, and yes, you may draw in your underwear, but remember that hardwood can become sticky under warm weather.

And more blocking. Drink coffee. Be reluctant. Text with friends. Pet cat. Think about lunch. Go stand in the sun for a little bit. Remember to put on pants. And a shirt.

Stop. Don't get caught up in the details. Reply to email. Make more coffee. Attempt to nap on couch with cat. Cover negative space with light gray scale.

Make dinner. Conquer couch for an hour. Roll around in the sunshine. Add highlights.

Do quick blocking, erasing, gestures, line work, background.

Blog about it.

Another 7 days gone by.

But what does that mean?
Probably nothing.

TY.

Wax & stuff.

I wasn't going to post anything today, but my friend, after a billion years of absence, finally updated her journal and I totally can't let her have the one up on me. That's right. Hah! Hah!

Hah. Hah. Hah?




Cell phone pictures because I'm at school, at a nice cafe, drinking a mocha, and not a home, where my fancy things are. The end.

Oh wait, um. So I did a wax carving. And that's the genie lamp I made. And below it are the tools I used. Well. Minus the knife I used to carve the cube of wax.

Whatever, I'll mention it again later when I'm done with it.

P.S.

Those are my fingers.

P.P.S.

I don't know why it was important to mention that. But it was.

P.P.P.S.

Carving is really fun.

Thank you.

The progression of little steps.









Muuuuuak.

One day it too will be done.

Default

half-hour exercise.

I have a bad habit of forgetting why I do anything after I do it. Drawing-wise, I mean. I'll try and fix that by saying a little something with the drawings I post here. With this picture I wanted to play with light. The hair is clumpy, so maybe the next drawing exercise I do will be about making hair less clumpy. Her expression -- I really like. And the lines on her shoulders.

But with more throat

A WIP that is making me want to scream. And I'd yell at it, but that wouldn't make me feel better. BUT. I. ARRHG. I will finish you, drawing, I will! I hope. AH! AH!

Maybe I'm all art-ted out.

Some old some semi-new

New to you in any case. The newest is from...a few weeks back. Ah. I have to stop keeping things hidden away.

I drew this for a friend on LJ. Sora, from Disney's/Squareenix's KH, on a rock, with ridiculous hair. I'm still quite pleases with it, and it makes me smile. But that's possibly because I have a story associated with it already. Kingdom Hearts is one of my favorite games.
Concept WIP drawing! I will work on it as soon as my wrist cools down. Looking at it, I feel a deep need for color. Seriously. Color. It needs it. So badly. My little heart can't take the blandness.

For my friend's 18th birthday. She wanted a porny picture of two characters she likes to write about, but, this was what I could delivere. I think it rather sweet, to be honest.

hey cat girl

This one is completely self indulgent. Wait, isn't every drawing self indulgent? ...I guess that's right. But with this one I specifically said to myself, "this is for me." So. Self indulgent. I'm very fond of the color orange, I think. Meow.
