Few and far between

This is long overdue but I took part in a friends exhibition at the beginning of the month. It's always fun doing this. :D I'll post better pictures of the pieces later. For now here's one of me putting them up, whilst asleep apparently...


Photo was taken by the awesome Venus! :D

Here are a few sketches/studies I've done the mast month or so. 
Need to draw and improve much much more.

Resurrection!

I am going to resurrect this blog, surely. For now, I will just post an artist I just discovered: Marko Djurdjevic.





He's awesome, check him out. 

On a personal note, even when I draw I prefer my sketches, because when I go to "finish" them, my drawing loses some of it's life and energy and expression along the way. The lines, everything just becomes stiff. Maybe this is why I never finish anything or rarely attempt colour, I get a bit intimidated that I'll draw something "not up to my standards" or it won't look at all like picture it in my mind and fall into a pit of depression over it (it's about the only thing in the world that frustrates me so). XD I guess this is something I need to work on. I have been realising more and more lately that if I just put the time into it, I will absolutely get to even the crazy high standard I want my art to be at. I just have to stop giving up and persevere! XD I know its really obvious but sometimes I just forget that you only get back what you put into something. On a more positive note, I am so glad that I am falling in love with drawing all over again, long overdue.

That's all for now.
