This is sad...

Sat Nov 7, 2009, 9:22 PM
I'm pumping out a new finished painting or drawing every week for my AP Studio Art class and I can't even put them on deviantart because my scanner is too small (or my pieces are too big...)!

On the bright side, I think I've discovered a quantitative measurement of what I like most in art: The fundamentals and keys of realism willingly distorted. Basically stated, you start like you're going to draw from real life, but make it more... attractive and eye-catching. For instance, one could try to get down-pat the perfect watercolor photo-real portrait, or just get the basics in and then turn it blue with white highlights that never actually existed in your subject's atmosphere (if you draw from reference as I do).

Speaking of which, I hate winter. Mostly because it scares the bajesus out of me when I can't even spend half an hour outside without a jacket and still keep all my limbs functional. I hate winter, so I'm gonna start pumping out art that characterizes my distaste for it and all it's chilliness.

The saddest thing, though, is that I know only about 4 people will ever read this journal entry, if that.

I need to find a bigger scanner.

  • Mood: Miserable
  • Listening to: Nothing, music distracts me when drawing.
  • Reading: Mary Shelly's Frankenstein
  • Watching: House season 4 and Castle season 2
  • Playing: The tiny violin in my heart (it cries for me)
  • Eating: french fries and white pasta.
  • Drinking: Water, because it keeps me alive.
