Day 8: Rain, lamp and what nots

I'm just glad this is done. I got myself troubling too much about the composition and colors. I can't be bothered with this anymore. Sorry picture if you weren't as good as I thought, I can't imagine myself editing you again but who knows.


At least it looks like something you'll see in a children's book, right?

By the way this is Jim's idea, he thought of it while he was having a headache. haha. I think you need to be depressed or lost or having a headache to make a drawing like this, well at least I tried. and i'm glad i'm not depressed :D

Day 7: Om

As the creation began, the divine, all-encompassing consciousness took the form of the first and original vibration manifesting as sound "OM"

I've been into this symbol ever since i learned about it in college. I've been thinking of making this into a tattoo, will probably get to that design one of these days.

Day 7: Sunset light. (In this resolution, the arm seems detached. will get to that someday.)


P.S. This was supposed to be a self-portrait but Jim says I don't look like it so . . . failed. (Hmm, maybe the lips?)

Day 6: Penguin

As suggested by Jim, a penguin for day 6.

Penguins look real funny even when they're mad. Well this one's supposed to be some sorta mystic/shaman penguin hehe imagine having hair like that, who would ever need gel?

(i hit my face on a wall OUCH!)

Day 5

Wow this took a loong time to do but it was fun! My vision is now blurry for some reason. I like this one though, (well right now, i do). Is the fishy cute or what? :D


I first thought of this when I was in our house last december, must've been staring too long at the aquarium. Day 5 - end!

Day 4

Tried out boby chiu's 3 arrow method. Tada! My boyfriend:



I also edited yesterday's post, coz it was creepy and disappointing. Sleep!

Day 3

I wanted to try out painting dark skin and i followed a really great guide from navate. (check it out here). This one's much better than the last one.


No ref for the face. The turban is a cut-and-paste-and-paint-over-it-a-bit-so-it-doesn't-look-out-of-place thing (it's erin's turban from america's next top model when tyra shot them).

I sure hope I can keep this up! Here's to day 4! (it's 1 in the morning!)

day two

well, day 2. super rushed and when uninspired, do a portrait. i think i saw her in the train this morning, she had these thick fake lashes and heavily lined eyes which made her eyes disappear into black-ness and bangs that were kinda too straight.

Pilot

joining the project 365 bandwagon, but since i'm not a photographer (yet) i'm doing drawings/sketches/paintings/stuff-i-do. here is day one:
started with artrage, finished with ps. good thing i got ps already, i'm a mess with artrage.

pork chop rice

this was supposed to be just a quick sketch but like most of my quick sketches i quickly get into the skin tone rendering and such and such until this was completed after 2/3 (quick unfocused) sessions.

i had a eureka sort of moment while waiting on the line for lunch. after pondering about my 'monster', i realized i'm putting to much pressure on my dream of pursuing an art career when i could just enjoy it. just draw. just color. just do art for art's sake. maybe not even for art's sake but just 'cause i can and want.

anyway, i saw this blouse(on a girl) who was already enjoying her pork chop lunch while i was on the queue. and another amazing thought came to mind - i'm on the process of creating a new wardrobe :D

demotivated

nothing new today. nothing new for the last week actually. i feel really down, artwise. like i'm just wasting time and will never make it. it's fear of the would-be-failure. this is a horrible monster i'm facing right now. it got me stuck. my feet are cold (partly due to aircon) and they don't feel like moving.

i was looking for art scholarships a while ago but i stopped because i need money more than an art scholarship right now. it sucks to be a poor person with a dream. besides, do i have the guns to win an art scholarship.

i guess this year i ought to be more dedicated to my self-teaching of art, give more time to it. discipline is my weak point and if i am to get anywhere with my art dream i have to fight my laziness. easier said than done.

i have been at this a lot of times, trying to motivate myself but this pessimist in my head would not shut up. will i get anywhere? no use asking that now.

i hope things fall into place for me. this massive space could possibly align itself correctly and land me an art career. next year i hope i'm rich enough to do what i want. (yeah right, will we ever be rich enough?)
