Freshman work

It's been a while since I've posted some work up. So to catch you up, I've posted up some kind of recent work of my freshmen year. Weird how time goes by at warped speed and yet it's like molasses. It was a long time ago, yet it wasn't. Where is my Delorean? Anyways, this is my work from fall 2009 to spring 2010. The abstract work was spring.

Illustration Friday: Diary

This is my first Illustration Friday post. I decided to put an actual entry from my moleskine sketchbook, which I used as some sort of diary during my summer vacation of '09. What's weird is that because I drew a picture to my thoughts, it seems so much easier to go to that memory than if it were just a picture or words. I can smell the beach as I look at it and hear the conversation of the French dude on the left of the page. I remember not knowing what he was even saying.

Trying to find an outlet

I haven't updated my blog in a while, but I might as well before I let the space monsters from Dead Space take my time from my art. In honesty, I haven't been drawing and maybe that could explain that missing ingredient in my daily life. I said I'll draw my dreams, and I do wish I do it more often than just saying it. More drawing/painting, less regrets.

These are a few sketches in my mini sketchbook of randomness and freedom of thought.

I'll keep working on these when I get the chance. Motivation is hard sometimes. I wish I was as inspired as the "double rainbow" guy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQSNhk5ICTI. He found something, man. Something meaningful that gets him going...kind of.

Restless Thought

So, it's like 2:02 in the morning and I just felt like posting a random blog since I haven't done so in a long time. I thought that since I am sleepy,  most of my ideas will just pour out more naturally than in the day. I could be talking about random things about zombies and what I could do if an infection broke loose. What would I use as my weapon...chair? lamp? sharp pencils? Or, I could be talking about dreams again, but I haven't fully dedicated myself to the experiment that I started two months ago. I'll just talk about whatever then because I know that no one really reads this. Who cares about my thoughts anyway? Stop going into my head if you do read it.

Watching my dreams and experiencing is a lot more fun. Like last night, I had a dream of a green rabbit with a horn and its legs were octopus tentacles. It turned into Harry Potter and he was neglected by his mother who spent one night gambling and drinking at a Bingo game. She lied that she loved the Harry Potter look-a-like/green rabbit...thing and forgot to pick him up from a party.

But enough about dreams, I wanted to blog because I wanted to put a safe haven for my recent art that I did on 2draw.net. I use this site to practice colors and styles so I could apply them on real canvases and paints. I use Oekaki Shi-Painter on that site, which I've been familiar with since, like, for years. It feels good to come back to it again, but it's still hard to fight off artist blocks. They are the worst enemies. If I had a katana, I would slice through them to insure that they would never get back up.

I've become very fond with playing with colors. I dunno why, but it just seems more...lively. I'm happier drawing them as I move my hands quickly on my tablet. I used to be very tedious about my work, drawing outlines for hours. I think that a looser style is more for me. Of course, I'll try other styles too so that I could keep a wide range of techniques, but I'll paint like this on this website.
