| oil paint pt.2 |
So, I finished this one...
And I started a new one...
fun!
Also, here are some sketches from religion class* earlier today..

* My religion class this semester is more retarded than normal. I knew it was a joke class, but my teacher is seriously the stupidest bitch I have ever encountered. I should have gone to public school. | | Tags: paintings, daily sketch |

| oil paint? |
I missed a couple days of sketches there. My bad. I had a rough day yesterday, unfortunately. Pre-portfolio interview meltdowns, woo!
Anyway, I drew this on a canvas a few hours ago...
And then started painting it with oil paints...which I have never used before so it's a learning experience! haha.
So for the past week or so, all I've been doing is watching Greek and painting. It's pretty sad. I got through season 1 in 5 days. hahah | | Tags: daily sketch, paintings, works-in-progress |

I'm on a roll, painting-wise. I painted my first building! Exciting!
It's not finished, nor is it perfect, but I really like it. It's of my favorite store in Kensington Market in downtown Toronto. 8D
And of course, a couple of sketches.
Hurray...! haha.
edit:
I finished!

| Strange and Unprepared |
So I need to paint more if I'm going to have enough portfolio pieces to present at my portfolio interview in a few weeks, so here's something I started (and finished) today.
It's based off the Copeland song "Strange and Unprepared", the line that goes "You never know if your center stage is as thin as glass, and never meant a thing". Basically there's a girl standing in a spotlight that's hollow and meaningless. Yeaaaaah. That's what I was going for, anyway. This was also my first time painting a full body human figure! I don't think it's too bad!

| My Last Semester |
My last semester of high school starts tomorrow. I am more than relieved to get out of that hell hole. Only a few more months... lets hope I can keep my sanity until then. My classes are pretty chill, though. Animation, spare, Religion and English. I love that I have Animation homeroom again. 15 minutes of cartoons every morning before we start class work: awesome.
Anyway, I finished my painting tonight. I don't know if I like it enough to include it in my portfolio though. Thoughts?
And here's my sketch for Feb 1, 2010.

| lalala daily sketch |
I just got home and forced myself to draw something. So here's that:
And tonight I got asked to shoot some photographs for this band, Stone Cardinals, that just played their second show.
First show with an actual photo pass and my dslr. Very fun. I didn't have a really fast lens (f/4), so it was...difficult.
I've been working on inking that drawing I posted yesterday semi-inked. It's taking longer than expected, haha.
That's all. Goodnight! | | Tags: daily sketch |

| I'm still on a crazy Ataris kick. |
If I die tomorrow, will this song live on forever?!
Why is this band/album so good? god.
Anyway. I was out/at work* most of today so I didn't get A LOT of drawing time in. The couple hours I got this morning/tonight was dedicated to adding to and inking this. So it's gonna serve as my sketch for today.
Tomorrow I'm gonna try to sketch while I'm out an about, driving around Toronto with some band I agreed to photograph. haha. Did I mention that I've never met this band before? Hurray for gallivanting around downtown toronto with a bunch of strangers! It'll be interesting, to say the least. I'll probably have photos to post tomorrow night. (:
xoxo

| Sketchbook challenge 2010 |
So, I need to fill up my sketchbook. So I've challenged myself to draw at least one sketch every day of second semester. I've tried this before and have failed miserably, but I am determined this time. Seriously. It's harder than it sounds.
The rules are:
1) It can be a rough sketch, but has to be colored or shaded
2) has to be a full page
3) school assignments/projects do not qualify as a sketchbook drawing
So, naturally, as proof I will start posting them up here daily (and on Twitter, if you follow that... @savesthenight)
I technically started two days ago, so here's jan 25th and 26th.

Well hello there.
I'm currently working on a painting inspired by the discography of Copeland and I wanted your input on what specific lines, verses, or songs paint a really vivid image in your head. Or maybe it's just a symbol or a word that really sticks out for you, for whatever reason. I'm going to try to collage as many of these images into this painting as I possibly can. It can be from any of their albums. So...yeah. haha go crazy. | |

So one of my so-called "best friends" bailed on my art show tonight. The first and only show I've been a part of. The one that showcased my work from the entire semester. The one I told him about two months in advance only for him to pull some lame excuse about a family dinner the night of the show. Thanks, buddy. I appreciate it. Fucking asshole.
Anyway, here's a photo of some of my display.
I can finally breathe a sigh of relief. The only thing to worry about now is final exams. How hard can an art exam be, anyway? | | Tags: ink drawings, school |

| heavy sigh. |
There's always a smirk and a snarky comment when I tell people I want to go to art school. That I want a career in art. Hey you, asshole: I'm sorry if I don't want to work in an office or be an astronaut or a marine biologist, okay? Just because "[you] don't understand how someone can make a living through art" doesn't mean it's impossible. By the looks of it, you don't understand a whole lot anyway.
Sigh. Life is bumming me out.
Only one semester left. I just have to keep telling myself that. | |
