Sorry for not updating for a week! My life has got me knocked down breathless. I was having such a busy week.
I decided to not to get caught up with my desire to um, "paint". Lately, I've been looking into the works of the old masters and all that, trying to learn their techniques, taking some advices off some books, and finding out the perfect media and style for me.
I have been grasping SO much, theoretically. It's time to put all I've learned into practice.
I learned about technical and artistic anatomy, proper use for cast and form shadow, perspective, and composition. I've learned to accept things the way they are, and to look at them optimistically and to work them out for my benefit, not as a drawback. Jeez.

Here's some of many sketches I did this week:





Those girls are random finds from random deviantart stocks.
And as you probably notice, I salvaged a used book I purchased from library ($0.25!) and paint-coated it with gray. I makes a really neat sketchbook!
Smells like paint and kinda sticky, though.






The angel is from one of Tiepolo's paintings I forgot which one. The duck is a random doodle I pulled out of my head.






Red pastel pencil. Just out of curiosity.
I need to work on that more. Hahah.






Michaelangelo studies, all except the tree. That tree is an experimental drawing using only pen. Micron 01...? Not sure what I used.






Brush pen experiment, live figure drawing study. That's what I get from sitting inside the starbucks bored. Random people as models.


I now realize that I'm still in the beginner / amateur level presently, and I learn to accept the fact. But I will strive to become better.
And I'm trying to do it fast.

Better start taking risks, then.




Btw, I'm officially legal now!
=D~
