Black and White Portraits

It's important to have fun when you are practicing your skills! ^_^ When I discover a technique or style, I really try it several times, and my sisters and bestfriends are the usual models. Like for example on the following drawings, they are sketched portraits of my sisters and two of my bestfriends. Doing this was challenging in a way, I wanted to simplify the drawing, without too much detail, in fact, their faces especially the eyes are not too realistic. I chose to experiment on a grayscale and a large contrast of black and white with a few midtones here and there for forms. :) I really did enjoy these exercises.

  

Doodley Doo!

There's this childish side of me that I wanted to project, things that I liked as a child that I still carry until now ^___^ The drawings below are drawn in half sheets of bondpaper when I got bored during classes back in 2009.

 

Lolli Hour

I like sweets...dang...I am candidate for diabetes. Hopefully I won't get it! Nuuu!

This is simply a doodle of some of the sweet things I like. 

I didn't include chocolate here. Chocolate is sacred!!!

My Earliest Digital Rendering

My earliest drawings were actually drawn in Paint. Yes the old Paint in Windows! But sadly I am not able to keep those old drawings, haha! I can still remember some of them in my mind. Now let me show you the earliest digital drawings I've retrieved from old storage.

This drawing of a girl with the vine is drawn in Pixia-- a free software I downloaded just so I could practice digital drawings. This was done around 2008. The sketch was done on April 15, using a marker on paper then after scanning, I added color. It took me a few days, since I can't use the family's PC for long hours at that time. Yep, this is one of the crappiest ones, but at that time, I felt so happy for this achievement. :)

Digital Sketch Journal

The primary purpose why I came up with this blog is to be able to make a journal of my drawings--not just any drawing I sketched, since I've been drawing since birth (just kidding), but digital drawings. This is to help me determine and see the progress I had in years of practice, my ups and downs, the lessons learns, the people and events that inspired me, and artists who influenced my learning all throughout.

"Imah Blaarghing Ahgeein!"...I mean.."I'm Bloggin' Again!"

This post simply just serves as something to be so-called "introduction". I really don't want to introduce everything essential about me this early. Things about me will be revealed as each entry is posted... so keep posted :)

Why "Blogging Again?"... that's because I am also a blogwriter on another blog but it's one in which it is a joint blog (more than one writer) with me and my closest friends. You're really really very welcome to check it out except that lately we had a break and everyone seemed to be tired of posting just yet. You see the other writers also have their own blogs. BUT!! But my friennds!! Our blog is still alive and it's very open to everyone!

I know some of you just skipped reading the stuff above
so here it is...http://experimental-theatre.blogspot.com/

So that's all for now.. :)
