This week was a week full of failed, weird drawings and bad attempts at comedy.
Trying my hand at more digital stuff- I did do works on paper, but they didn't turn out too great/ aren't finished/ are gifts for peoples that I can't post (-just in case of the ocasionnal wandering eye-)
Oh- also, other than Mt Homework, life is going suspiciously well hum hum
Okay you have no idea how long these took me- I'd tell you, but it's embarrassing
I suck at comic drawing. I'll just stick to eating and sleeping instead cos I know I'm good at those
Hey hey!! ahhh, Vacation at last!! (-it's that amazing that i took the extra effort to capitalize it and put it in italics) but yeah- so far its been homework, chilling, teeny bit of painting, and aimlessly wandering around on the internet at unhealthy hours of the night. A lot of scrolling through the sweater section on ebay- but seriously, hOW AMAZING IS THIS SWEATER I MEAN LOOK AT IT JUST words fail me i can't i just
one day you'll be mine
anyways- I should slow down on the whole space/astronaut theme. Someday. Maybe.
OH RIGHT: I found old stuff on the computer from mooooooonths ago that I forgot to re- post
Okay- so:
shoes I painted almost a year ago wow. Bought them white for about 10 bucks when I went to the
states last year (VIVA WALMART REPREZENT Y'ALL) I'm not going to post a
DIY or anything because there are litterally hundreds online, but
let me share some insider tips in case you wanted to make your own
galaxy kicks- stuff I wish I would've known before I made mine:
1)
Use a makeup sponge- blending will be about a billion times
easier/better looking than if you do it with a dish sponge or
paintbrush- ooh and the dryer you keep it, the better
2)
Mix a few different shades of the colours you're using (other than
black, that is)- 3 minimum will do- keep a blob of your color untainted,
add white to one, and add a smidgen of black to another. Apply darkest
to lightest
3) Tape your soles well!! I got paint all over mine hm.
4) For the stars, I used a posca pen and a toothpick+white acrylic. Flicking paint off an old toothbrush would definitely give you more detailed/smaller stars (and now I'm wishing I did it, goshdarn it *shakes fist dramatically*)
Oh right- it's all acrylic btw. plus plus plus: a simple spray varnish will do the trick for keeping it waterproof
Two weeks- again. Because school, life, and excuses. Oh, and embarrassment and a wee bit of guilt because I genuinely feel like I've made nothing worth showing hm. Here- things for your eyes
look!! more CLASSy doodles (get it do you get it do you get my joke get it)
got my thumb on both of these coz I don't understand the concept of putting drawings down on flat surfaces before photographing them
my sneaky tactic to make it look like I'm busy drawing and painting lots of things
( *whispering* psssst hey! so these are actually things I did a while back and that don't look good enough to post separately mwahaha I just took a picture from a little distance, at a slight angle, AND I stacked them in ways to cover the main flaws- bow down to my evil genius, peasants teeheehee kay fine- they still look pretty bad sob)
cliché 'look at what i'm doing photo' spoiler though- the finished product looked bad ah
So- two weeks- feels like it's been a while!! Don't really have anything to report on, other than school, school, school, and uh... school. Please. Somebody give me a life (via e-mail works too)
Aaanyways. Really weird variety of stuff to post this week.
First up- paintings!! All Chinese ink so that they look clean, pristine, and supah' mean
Attempt at painting Dwight Schrute (from The Office) watercolor. yikkess
Why you look so blue? Seriously this is normally just black white and grey hmm
Pastel based of of a drawing by Odillon Redon
Watercolor of a fine hipster lad- messy and unfinished i knoww
Drugs? Eww no- gross, bad for you, and just so overrated. I snort sprinkles.
I don't know what else to put- so here? Ballpoint doodle
No time to paint. But I painted anyways. Sleep is so overrated.
TIGER- inks & watercolor (6 hrs)
Not super sure what this means, but it was in my head for a while. And now it's on paper. PMS- ish looking hippie chick wearing a (only just realized) misshapen helmet, and a random fox just chillin. Hm. I kinda hate it- keeping it up here though as proof that a good majority of my stuff DOESN'T work out. It's true. And I don't know what to do with it cos I spent a good two hours of my life painting it. Other thought- maybe one day I'll stop using messy paint dripping as an excuse for a background...?
Unicorrrnnnghh and- wha- what is this? My, my- *gasp* could it be? YES! IT'S A PAINT DRIPPY BACKGROUND!!! I will never stop. I can't stop. I literally cannot stop. *whispers*help meee
ooh and here are some doodles from class because I'm such a good student who has a really high level of concentration who listens to everything that teachers say and definitely doesn't have a drawing related form of ADHD
why do these look so blue
why
why
why
-I have tons more but I am the definition of the word lazy so in other words, my folders are too far away. If you check the dictionary for the word "lazy", do you know what you'd find? *ding ding ding* THAT'S RIGHT!! You'd find the definition of the word lazy!! Probably if you check Google though you might encounter me somewhere on the billionth page or something. I have work to do ugh- PEACE
The last of my sketchbook creations!! We're finally up to
date! I've done a few random paintings, but *ugh* the more I looked at
'em, the less I liked 'em:( they shall now dwell in the painting
cemetery- in other words, they're crammed in a drawer where no one will
ever see them. I tried to save 'em!! I really did!!! BUT, in the wise words of Roy from the show Face Off, "you can't polish a turd" I WILL BE QUIET NOW and here you go!! Unfortunately,
this means that my posts will be about a billion times shorter now,
considering that every teacher wants us to devote our entire lives to
school, and cos daylight is in short supply
