<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">here is the most recent thing i've drawn for a fellow artist and friend that lives way off in the land of the free (america if you didn't get my amazing joke, i'm here all week, people!)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">her name is <b>tayler</b> and she is a splendid photographer (here's <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/potatobeanz/">her flickr</a> if anyone is interested.. ahem, you should be.)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">After receiving an amazing christmas present from her (she sent me some prints she developed in her dark room, a key chain, and the coolest hair clip i have ever seen. it's a skull hand people. my science teacher loved it, haha.) i took the time to sent her something in return.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">this of course is her, based off one of the many self portraits she takes.
she is a very beautiful girl with such stunning strong features and i couldn't pass up the opportunity of drawing her.
besides, how can you make your work more personal than drawing a friend?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">you really learn a lot after staring at a face so long and attempting to recreate it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">you tend to notice the little things people miss when they just take a glance. especially when the person is someone you only see in pictures and through the terrible quality of a webcam.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">now to the colors! i love water colors, so so so much! black ink and water colors is basically my favorite medium to work with (i hope to experiment with different mediums soon though.)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> i use a cut up sponge when i paint which gives that dry, splotchy texture.
i also try to keep water color strictly what it is (which is.... well... water, hahah). i let it leak, i let it move. then i blot, blot, blot with my sponge! it's very fun. i could do it for hours.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span><br />
<b><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">A CHALLENGE I FACED WITH THIS PIECE:</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">the hat! ahhhh, oh i am not used to drawing things as structured as that hat. i usually draw people in the most natural of states so this hat was a bitch for me to even attempt to do, ahah. i pulled through though and surprised myself with my "skill", hahahah! i did it the best i could and am very proud of myself for trying something new. hope to challenge myself more in the near future!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">that's basically the story of this piece, im happy with how it turned out and it made it to her in perfect condition as well. she loved it. im a very happy girl.</span>fruitytasteshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14915895868341704023noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-369836443652793373.post-66518848325246245612012-01-18T20:31:00.000-08:002012-01-18T20:31:27.384-08:00what a splendid day to make another blog!<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">to address the title right away (can't be hasty!) yes, this is one of my many blogs i have.</span><div><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">i have my two blogs on tumblr (a DIY blog where i reblog things that i may want to do some day and a personal blog im sure most of the people reading this will be from.)</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">so, since i already have two very successful blogs (this is sarcasm and i am telling you this now because sarcasm can sometimes be hard to pick up through text...) what am i doing here? </span></div><div><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">well, my beautiful cousin recently made a fantastic blog on here about her life and journey through pregnancy and i for sure wanted to be able to follow that consistently soooooooo what better way to do so then to make a blog here. that's right, there isn't a better way.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">secondly, i wanted to display my art somewhere that isn't muddled in with the rest of my personal life.</span></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">SO HERE IS MY PERSONAL ART BLOG! </span></div><div><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">where i will mainly post things i draw or paint but will also share the art that inspires moi (i don't speak french at all don't be deceived by my random french words).</span></div></div><div><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">so, that's just about it. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">...</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">i suck at ending these things.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">so uh.... bye! hope you enjoy.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">(i'll probably be posting right away, jsyk... all the stuff i've already done.)</span></div>fruitytasteshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14915895868341704023noreply@blogger.com0
