Don't forget to look up Valerie Briggs.

drawing update

For school I drew a big Hello Kitty and a soldier. Inspired by the associations lesson.

I drew this house and I am looking for ways to experiment with it. For now I just placed a thermometer in front of it. Yes, that little statue with parrot is a thermometer. Maybe I should place some other figures in front of it too.

And I finished my Sailor drawing. Not sure if I like it a lot, but at least it is done now. :>

birthday gifts

Yesterday was my birthday, I am 25 now. I got some nice gifts, which you can view here. :>

First I got this small canvas to paint on, it is really tiny. The stand for it is tiny as well. I think it is very cute. I also got a Hello Kitty brush. It is not very clear on this picture but at the back it has these things so that you can brush your hair with it. It seems to be made for children, but I like it a lot.

More painting supplies, always welcome! So I guess I will go back to painting more often.

And I got some soap, not very original but very useful. :>

To actually end this with a drawing, I am showing you my most recent work in progress here. It is a big drawing on A1 paper. All done with ink.

It is almost done. I am glad that I finished the background now.

ink works

For school I finished two ink drawings, here you can see them:

"Maria in the lake"

Taking photographs of these is always hard, I want them to keep the same impact but a photo is much different than the real thing. The first work (I will refer to it as "Maria") is actually A1 and the second one is A2. I only drew on the Maria artwork, the other girl is done with mostly ink washes.

Oh, and finally a picture of two hares I took. These suddenly appeared in the fields and I thought they were cute so I photographed them.

gifts

Recently I felt like taking more pictures, so here is one of the superblack tea of today. It is passion fruit tea. Tastes a bit like passion fruit, but not when it is this black.

My sister's birthday is coming up so I bought her a gift, it is an agenda (I can say it here, she does not read this anyway). I also bought some Hello Kitty chocolate eggs because I collect the little figurines inside.

And finally, a little drawing. Sometimes it is so nice to work with traditional media again.

observation

This was some of my homework!

still lives

all digital

scarf pictures

Recently I found a great new hobby: drawing on my scarf. I have textile pens and I love doodling over my (orange) scarf. I plan on drawing on other clothing as well :D











I even drew a Hello Kitty figure on it xD

finished!

My Hello Kitty painting is finished now!
I show two photos here because I suck at photography and cannot show them clear in *one* picture. Well, I hope you like it nonetheless :D

painting hello kitty #2

another work in progress shot! *gets back to vectoring now*

painting hello kitty^^

Hello. I got something really cute from my mother. ^^; She gave me this Hello Kitty canvas:


It is like a colouring picture but then with painting. Of course I will make it into something more interesting than just base/unshaded colours.^^
Base layer:


More colouring:




As you can see it is not finished yet but I soon will ^^; Acrylic painting is really fun sometimes xD

scrap scrap scrap

It is a C-Man! Do not mind the Hello Kitty paper.........

something with hello kitty

decided to draw my outfit for today. ^^

Hello Kitty Stickers!

They just arrived today! ^^ I think they are so cute. ^^ I will paste some on my laptop today.


Other than that, I watched Transformers 2 yesterday. It was awesome though I wanted to see more action instead of romantic scenes =P
(that is often my critique at movies)
I missed the police car Megatron can transform in btw (like in the first movie xD).

Now I am off colouring my Plants versus Zombies fan art again!

Still no drawing

Ok I recently discovered the love for photography and I have been taking pictures of everything lately. That's why I post a photo now instead of a drawing. xD This one features my Hello Kitty pen. I hardly write with that pen because I find it too beautiful for it. LOL
I also bought an old polaroid camera and I love it. I think I will be posting a lot of pictures at my Flickr account. My deviantART is full of drawings already so I will be posting them there. :) I also have this digital camera from Panasonic, and I will use that one a lot too. (Polaroid has become a quite expensive medium)

Kittyfying Java

You probably have heard about Hello Kitty. I have become a fan of that little cat. Now I try to get everything that has a Hello Kitty face on it. I even start making my Java application look like it! This was my Java homework... I wanted to add some cute Hello Kitty icons to it so I did. I edited them with GIMP because I did not have photoshop on this laptop. I do not really like GIMP by the way... I tried to make one image transparent and I did not manage! In Photoshop it is so easy. In photoshop it is done in five minutes! I still am a Photoshop lover. xD
