Final drawings and the toilet series ^^a

^ Aren't they cute? I took the picture one morning after driving my mom to work simply because they're so adorable :D.

Above picture features the two drawings I did for my Adv. Drawing class. I'm pleased with the result :). One thing with working independently is that you are free to explore all kinds of ideas, mediums and options, it was very fun. There is a drawback though... if you were less disciplined like me, it'd be hard to get anything done at all, haha... I procrastinated a lot through this, though the final drawings are something that I consider putting into my art portfolio, which I don't do very often. So it's all good I guess ^0^. And I'm hanging these with pieces of thread in the back, something I rarely do also. Once I get the drawings back I'd probably scan or take better pics of them for the portfolio and hang these in my study room ;).

And now, talk about randomness...

I present you: the Toilet Series :D.

Thinking of what else to do to them...

That's all for today. It's a short post but I did a marathon last night staying up until 6am so now I have no energy.

Final projects and just a lot of randomness :)

Currently my hands are full working on some final projects for classes. I took a few pictures to share with you the progress on some of them:

A friend took these pictures of me posing like that girl from 'The Ring', ahahah ^___^;a...
Pretty good eh, perhaps I should audition for a ghost part in a horror movie in the near future :D.



Have a good day and God bless!!!!

Reaching up

Model: Huong (be' Heo :D)

Hey An, look!
Take this picture of me!
Hurry up with this shot, I can't hold it for any longer...

It was hard to keep up with her.
Energy. Like the summer sun. Bursting.
Though it was her quiet, meditated moment that held the frames.



Open.
You're gonna go far, you know.
Of course!
You're gonna look back on this day, and thought... did I say that?
I'll be sad, but your way is far open now.
Take your flight.

There's a certain leaf that's called Chi...

April. Late afternoon.
Smiles, blue chewing gums sticking out of her lips.
Playfulness plagued my camera's lens, if only the weather was a bit warmer.





Aimless.
Where do you think you are going from there?
Silence. I don't know.
But one thing I'm sure of, the ending will come, and it is near.





Wind.
Do you feel that? Close your eyes.
There are certain things in life that you can only feel of its existence.
Your eyes, your ears, your tongue will deceive you.
Let go of your senses.
Feel.

Model: Chichi
Date: 4/1/09

Just a few pictures of Chichi from our trip to Haymarket area downtown before twilight set in.
It was a beautiful day, albeit a little bit cold.
I made a joke earlier in the day with be' Heo on this very certain day, said I was going to confess my feelings to the guy that I like.
She said... why not.
I thought... yea, why not.
That thought of confession on April's fool day struck me as convenient.
Either way, it was not gonna hurt as much.
If busted, I could have just covered it up with a line... I was just kidding, did you fall for it?
In the end... I realized it was childish, and stopped.
Cowardice?
Perhaps.
But I didn't want to bother him after what happened to him before.
Right now, confusing him isn't what I want to do to him at all.

After that day, I stopped obsessing over him.
Opening that little drawer in my heart, I put all the good memories I had with him inside.
Closed it. Secured it. Treasured it. Yet, at the very bottom, far away from view.
It hurt the first few days afterwards. However, I made up my mind.
It's all for the better.
He didn't reject me. I didn't even confess.
But I knew... he doesn't have feelings for me, and that he's still hurt over his last lost love.
One day, his heart will be healed. He will love again.
Will that person be me?
I don't know.
Life is a never-ending mystery.
And I don't even want to find out just yet.

More sketches ^^

From my sketchbook this time... I sure need to work on some colored sketches soon, but working with pens is so much fun :). Went to the library yesterday and borrowed a book on Anatomy for Artists and one about One century of Graphic Designs. Fun stuff ^^v; I'm generally really bad with anatomy; most if not all of my figure drawings are static and motionless, so with some studies of anatomy I hope I'd be able to range out a little bit.

Artworks, sketches overload...

Yes, I'm still sketching and drawing and doing artworks, but just did not have time to upload anything, plus I don't think I'd done anything worthwhile of mentioning, so that's the reason of the recent absence of artworks ;). So here's the overload of... stuff (they're mostly sketches though, save for the starfish, it's a print) *winks winks* :D!!
