Cubism

I’m not a big fan of cubism and I just make this because it’s school work, but I ended up liking this and I realized that green and orange look good together. It’s a watercolor painting. It’s a tea set up and the green background is suppose to be a blanket.

This painting was made three years ago. I wanted to post something, but I don’t think I have any original artwork. A lot of them are copied from references for school purposes, and some are just pieces that I’m not happy with. So I decided to post this old artwork that I made for school because it is original and I think it is good enough for me to post it here. The teacher thinks it’s good and so do my classmates. I think I meant to post this a long time ago, but I forgot. 

This piece is in complementary colors, which are blue and orange. The picture is based on my childhood. The things on the table are things that I loved as a kid and I still love them now.

This is when I ended up liking the sketch better than than the line art.

I did this way back on inktober. Using ink pen on traditional drawing is hard for me because I can not erase it once the ink is on the paper.

I really want to post, but I getting slower on drawing and I have been getting burnouts that I did not draw anything good.

2021 has been a sad year for me. There are happy times, but most are sad. I am not expecting anything good in 2022 because I am not optimistic. I will just to do things that I like to do to keep me happy.

Day 7, 8 and 9 of inktober drawings of my OC. All of my inktober drawings are on my school instagram account. I just a few of them post here.

I thought of putting my original characters on inktober so maybe I could practice drawing the design and style I went for. Bringing the things I like to the drawings makes it enjoyable to me. In participating on inktober, I had fun, but sometimes I struggle. My problems are my burnouts, the time and when the theme is something I have no idea of how to interpret it. But If I don’t have anything to think of how I interpret the theme, I just draw what they literally mean. There are times that I get too carried away in trying to make the drawings look good that it took me longer to draw than it was supposed to be. That just me when I’m making art. Ink may not be my preferred medium, but maybe inktober will improve my ink drawing skill. I’m not good at ink, I’m heavy-handed that my line arts are not smooth and I know that there will going to be bad ones, but I’m happy with most of them and it is not about how good I draw. I’m glad that I get to participate on inktober because I get to practice my style of drawing characters and setting them on the theme and also to learn something about ink drawing and bringing the things I like to make them more enjoyable.

Day 4 of inktober. When I heard “knot”, this scene from the 2011 Winnie the Pooh came to mind. “I can tie a bow.”

I love Winnie the Pooh and Piglet is one my favorite. The films and the books are a part of my childhood. I bring the things I like and I will make fan arts on inktober so that at least I have a little bit of fun rather than just feeling challenged.

I Participate on Inktober 2021

Our teacher will give us an A+ if we participate on inktober and we no longer need to take an exam. All of my drawings will be on my school instagram account. I will be only post the ones that I am somewhat proud of in here. This is Day 2: Suit

My OC on a new suit.

This is a traditional drawing that is just pen and paper. I take a picture and did some editing.

I know there will bad ones on my inktober drawings because I don’t think I’m good at ink.

He was seen in my first digital drawing and that drawing sucks because I was new to digital and I do not know how it work. Now I’m learning how to do it, but I’m still taking time. I am also changing his design to make it better than the first one. This is just if he goes to an event or something and not his official design.

Stress Relieving Art #2

This painting is one of my stress relieving art I did for an online class that is also a humor. Inspired by one of the videos of TheTekkitRealm on YouTube. His videos are great and I recommend watching them. This piece is actually a fan art and my teacher did not know.

The background is a beach so that it has an atmosphere that makes you feel relaxed and there is also humor because a laugh makes you feel good.

When the YouTuber rides the kid’s motorcycle that his subscribers bought him, it reminds me of the time when I ride my three year old cousin’s car, which was small enough for me to barely fit, because he allowed me to. Don’t worry, it did not break, I’m kind of light.

I hope this you find this funny and if not, at least relieves your stress.

Stress Relieving Art

This acrylic on canvas painting is inspired by Banksy’s Girl with Balloon. This was a project I made from last online school. It is a bit rush because when making this, I was bombarded with a lot if works since it was the finals and there are two more paintings I have to make during that time.

I made this piece as a stress relieving art. I don’t mean indulging in art yourself to reduce stress, but you can just watch an artwork and it can take away loads off your mind, leaving you nothing but relaxed. We were to choose an issue that serve as the context of our art and the issue I choose is depression. It causes feeling of sadness and loss of interest. Too much stress can lead to depression. How I may reduce this is through art by simply letting someone watch works of art. Watching and viewing artworks can reduce stress and anxiety, which can help overcome depression. We do not need to make art ourselves. We can just observe the art. So I decided to make some paintings that may relief stress and reduce anxiety.

I find some of Banksy’s art to be inspiring and funny. I want my artworks to have meanings and humor that can relief depression. Like Banksy’s Girl with Balloon that may symbolize loss, but the text next to it tells us that there is always hope even if there is loss.

A feeling of being relaxed and looking at a beautiful view like a starry night sky or a sunset. The girl with balloons, which was inspired by Banksy’s Girl with Balloon, was meaning to say that you can do what you love that is good for yourself, know that you are a great person and that if you ever feel tired, you deserve a break so that you can feel good and reduces stress.

I did mention that there two more paintings. As for them, I will post one of them later and I don’t want to post the other one because it a last minute idea that I ended up not liking. So one of those paintings will be posted later on and I might post some more urban sketches I did for school. The three paintings may have reminded me of how tired and even stressed I was that I just want to sleep, but it was over and I hope will just laugh at it later on. Overall, I love two of them. I hope that the image above relieves your stress.
