Like the title says.

It's hard for me to put my best effort into artwork made for myself. Another factor of impatience would be that I'm not into drawing animals as much as I once was.

Back to the snakey creature, made about two years ago. You may address his upper head by the name Pontu. The other one has never spoken (actual words, anyhow) since it formed, so no name. Despite his appearance, he's a nice guy. There's a story in my notebook for the guy, but I don't think I'll ever type it up

Moving onto humans for the time being.

Thanks!

I could've darkened the bones out more.. but just wanted to have this painting over with, I was getting fed up.

He's suppose to have a half-dead kind of look, so I decided to keep the wing that way :]

Yeah that's me xD It's not a job or anythign, so order doesn't matter too too much.

Commissions are when someone pays you to draw something for them, and your customer gives you a general idea of what to draw. I may open that up in a few years or months time x) Likely during the summer. I will have a mini business.

Haha I had a pack of 12 Prismacolours once, but I shared with people at school and they dumped my pencils into the class bin D<< One of the more pissed moments in my life.. I usually don't get angry.

That is the truth. It's mj proud nose. He didn't like it when his dad called him 'big nose,' so I guess that's why he hated his normal nose so much.

Uuuuug. Good looks can get you so far nowadays =\ And yet it's one of those things you can't work hard for and earn. Face-wise anyhow. Exercise can help.

Yeah. I was just reminded of that fact when I saw I was tagged in a photo on fb.. I'm like. WTF I LOOK THAT BAD??

I closed the window it immediately. Don't want to think of who saw me in such a nasty shot =\

Yep! I never put on makeup though. If you're hideous makeup's not going to help. I'm not that hideous but.. you get the idea, non?

lol same here..= =; at first when the pic was taken I'm like.."i doubt i looked too bad in it" the moment I saw it I'm like "O__O WTF" D: and then removed the tag and closed the tab.

I know what you mean..:0 i don't even put make up on. But my sis is like.."why don't you put make up on.." = = but seriously..what's the point i mean..it's just covering up who you really are.

Yeah, I think... I must have looked alright. And then I see the picture. And go. WTF HAPPEND!!!111.

For one thing, I'm not allowed any make-up. Zero, nada. And even if I were allowed, I wouldn't put it on. My skin is clear enough to go make-up less. And my eyes are so small makeup is not going to help them much xD

i think i prefer your people portraits. this "animal" portrait doesnt quite have the same depth to it. its too surreal to be real.
i love the merging colours of the background though... pontu looks sad and no-name looks stoned
overall, quite nice
mucho better than my paintwork

spirit-of-earth In reply to HoukouSakura [2010-02-12 03:14:46 +0000 UTC]

I prefer my people stuff now too. Animals were my obsession when I was younger.. not anymore. More realistic would have been better, eh? Didn't have the patience for that this time around.

Haha yes no-name is constantly stoned x)

Thank you, thank you I is occupied with choosing which 3electives to take next year. Some form of art will fill one of the slots. Maybe even two.

Electives? Is that like our A Levels, over here?
I don't start A Level's 'til September 2011
I have absolutely no clue what I'll choose.
Probs Chemistry Physics and Maths, or Chemistry Biology and Maths.
Unlikely to do art now. I dropped at at the beginning of GCSEs.
No going back now >____<

Hm.. call it the 'just for fun' courses. Like foods, art, drama, metal design, that stuff.

Wut, no going back to art?? I like the system here.. you can skip level one art and jump ahead, but that works mainly if you're in, say, grade 11, didn't take grade 10 level one art, but you can take grade 11 level two art.

Bleh, the system has its confusing holes.
