Day 16ish

Okay, so it's a bit late I know, but here it is. I've been wanting to do a painting for a while and so this sketch will become a painting today. Hopefully I do it right since I really like how this sketch turned out and I haven't painted in a very very long time.



and here's a picture of the progress we've made on the puzzle. I'm addicted to it. I swear I could spend the entire weekend working on it and be perfectly happy! but I won't...too much else to do...like play guitar hero and make pretty artwork...and mayhap do some cleaning since the boys are gone until tomorrow evening.

Day 15

Hokay, so...I've heard nothing but my roommate and his girlfriend argue for the entire night. I couldn't help but draw something horribly emo to commemorate their momentous fight and possible breakup.



I agree with bryce in that he thinks it looks like a heart that's loaded with tar and decay like a dead smoker's lung. I used black in and red watercolor for this. I'm actually rather happy with the result of these two mediums together. whee! time to read some more while my hair drys and read another chapter or two. Go Climactic endings to epic books!

Day 14

Okay, now let's see here. we're up to yesterday. The story behind yesterday's drawing is that at work I found out my coworker's son was taken to the hospital when he couldn't feel his legs. As it turned out, they found a blood clot in his neck. He was in surgery for two hours while they got it out. I made a get well card for him and today everyone signed it. He plays hockey and I've heard he's super super good at it. so I made a hockey teddy bear...see!? I can't stop thinking about making teddy bears!!! *sigh* but he's cute. I'm very very happy with how the card turned out. I used colored pencil too which I'm not very used to...but good results were had.



So right now I'm going to take a break from my desk and read a couple of chapters from my book before drawing again. Must finish the Amber Spyglass before classes start again!!!

Day 13

Okay so I'm not going to lie, I didn't draw this day...I slept and worked on the puzzle...after driving all night from Milwaukee the last thing I felt like doing was exerting any physical or mental effort beyond matching parts of a puzzle... so instead of trying to make up a drawing I could say I did that day. I'm going to do what I would have done that day anyway and post some pictures from the show...

Day 12

We went to the Metallica concert and this was drawn on the way up while I was bored and not driving. It is essentially the changing landscape around us as we drove so no, this "scene" doesn't exist like this, but all of the items in it did show up on our journey within two miles of each other.

Day 11

More doll designs. this one is a jointed cat. I have no idea how I'd go about making this..but it would be fun. Plus I got all this Kimono silk recently and I could make an amazing patchwork doll out of it...I need a pattern for this though as I've never made a doll-type thing in my life...whee!

Day 10

yeah... so I'm like 6 days behind or something crazy like that...I'm sorry...my one reader...

I swear I have been drawing though! I have the proof in fact! I think I missed one day so I'll do two drawings tonight

Lately I've...wait...I just want to point out the stupidity of my roommate's girlfriend...she's talking on the phone to her dad that lives a ways away about something to do with states she's been too. (I wasn't paying much attention until I heard this) but then she something to the effect of, "and you hear all these people talk about how the world is overpopulated but they should see those states with all that open space..." I wanted to smack her...It's not about space! it's about resources!!! and how do you propose to move people from third world countries into our blessedly open spaces? gahhh!!! I just want to make her take the Aesthetics of Sustainability and the Futures classes that I took and make her see the folly in her statement...but there's no point...

anyway...so, lately I've been wanting to make dolls. don't ask me why cause I don't know what possessed me to want this. so the next two drawings are of designs I think would be fun. I was feeling emo this night so this doll is kinda sad looking.
