I have seen the moment of my greatness flicker,
And I have seen the eternal Footman hold my coat, and snicker,
And in short, I was afraid.

-T.S. Eliot, "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock," ll. 84-86

hey, where's that girl you love!

This has been sitting around in my hard drive for rather some time, and in a hardworking flurry while procrastinating for something more important, I finished it! I'm not sure how I did with likenesses, but oh well

Also screw color theory and painting (again!), how I hate both so.

No sleeping tonight again, guys...

so I lent my tablet to a friend at the moment so I did this picture with my laptop touchpad and I feel the need to congratulate myself for this feat
also there is this guy next door that keeps playing his effing guitar at 4 IN THE MORNING ALMOST EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.

ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WILL SHUT HIM UP AND EVERY NIGHT I GET WOKEN UP AND LIE SEETHING AND LIVID IN BED FOR MORE THAN AN HOUR

NO ONE KNOWS HOW MUCH I WANT TO THROTTLE THIS GUY INTO HIS NEXT LIFE

who are you reading this blog anyways? The fact that someone remotely cares about what I make or my affairs maybe, it encourages me, thank-you

purple palette again

Augh there are so many things that I could fix but if I spend another minute on this I will go batsheisse insane

Sooooo I need to get faster at this

Ugh I spent way too long on this, anyhoo trying out a new palette? : S

back to black and white for now I guess

Frank Stockton has some truly phenomenal illustrations, I'm really digging his style!

happy yellow taxis

Haha just for fun... though the color was a lot of blind guesswork : [ the red shadows in her face are a bit too saturated though and it doesn't really make sense, my bad

Also, the Internet on my laptop went haywire all of a sudden yesterday, and I still haven't got it to work...

Painting of the day!

I'm quite happy with this one, I hope that I managed to capture the general feel and palette of things, though I accidentally broke the tangent rule or whatever and it looks like the umbrella is growing out of the guy's head, haha.

I'm really itching to go to the beach these days, it's so nice out!

Whoops I screwed up on the perspective with this because I wasn't really paying attention to the horizon in the beginning... oh well

I think environments, besides being in natural light and least complicated with least interfering sources/color temperature and such will probably be a good place for me to start off color studies, plus I sort of, well kinda get to work on perspective as well...

Hmm, yeah, so I haven't been able to work on drawing much lately but I really need to work on some color crunching, I think it is my weakest point... I don't think I'd feel comfortable coloring something without a reference at this point because I'm rather struggling with color in relation to light/shadow, especially with shadow influence from reflected colors AJKDKDLJKDIESDKC

I'm going to conquer this pesky thing!
