Momento Mori and some other things

Done with the above. Haha. It looks a little weird especially with that front face at the left, but working with color pencils was unexpectedly a little fun...?

AND STILL WORKING ON THIS, BUT SO CLOSE TO BEING DONE I CAN FEEEEEEEL IT. 

And, why, yes, I am excited about that.

MUCHA!

Another finished work from school! It's an acrylic piece and the assignment was to imitate Mucha's style while giving it a twist. So I decided to do a woman surrounded by beautiful nature-things (uh, flowers, yeah), but instead of a graceful figure, she sneezing up a storm because, guess what, SHE'S ALLERGIC TO EVERYTHING THAT'S NATURE.

And it's too late to type things sensibly anymore.

Uggggh.

Oh, and another note, I am debating on moving this blog to tumblr. I'm already posting the same things from here on there already anyway. The move is also because it's almost impossible to get any sort of feedback from anyone on this thing or for anyone to find easily. Though I'm a little apprehensive about blabbering on it as I do here, I think it's a better place...? Haha. COME AT ME, BRO, is what I'm saying, I suppose.

So let's see for now. Haven't decided yet. On the meantime, here's the link to the tumblr anyway:

Catching up on some scanned work...

Some last semester traditional stuff that I got around scanning and uploading. It was the first time I actively worked with watercolor before, so the experience was interesting. They have mistakes that I'm not sure how to go around fixing anymore, but, nevertheless, I'm still pretty proud with all the effort and craziness I went through to finish these. Bluh.

Conscious, Deliberate Mistakes (in more ways than one)

"We build a tree house
I keep it from shaking
Little more glue every time that it breaks
Perfectly balanced
And then I start making
Conscious, deliberate mistakes"

How do I do anatomy? Oh, God, I don't know anymore. Aggggggh. (What in the world did I learn in school?)

Gwaaagh

Sooo, apparently, the not sleeping, watching Pokemon endlessly, and the late night stuff is pretty detrimental to my health. Haha. So I got sick. Awesome way to start the new year. Meh.

And I really don't know what direction I'm going in with all this "art"-spamming. I think I better get one soon to figure out why the heck I'm doing all this half-hearted crap besides the motto of drawing something everyday. Hrmmm....

Well, anyways, for now, here's another toss at texture spamming.

I love drawing hair. I just hate coloring it.

And I really gotta figure out layer masks. Jegus.
