im by no means a prodigy but i enjoy many forms of art. i am a **** painter, and rarely do it. i have no skills or fundamentals. but i picked up some super cheap oils recently and had a stab at it.
and the finished product:
Ooooh, very nice honey, I love it! It's very baroque badass colour-scheme-wise. And very expressive in the strokes. Hot stuffity. I've never been much of a painter, myself. I just get covered in paint, and make a mess, lol. Kudos.
I'm an art student tho, so I've got about a billion pics of my crap before I throw it out usually. El oh el. I'll post a few.
Gestural drawing of a nude model. God, her hair was messed.
The blurry image below? That drawing's about 4 feet tall. And the bane of my existence. Interestingly enough, the nude model turned out to be my real estate agent three weeks later.
CD Cover Assignment for a band of our choice. Chose an Irish band.
Buuut, what I've been spending all night working on, because I want to get into graphic design, and the way to do that is through experience.. it's a catalogue design for a local artist. He does these cute little wall hanging tiles that he sells to stores, so. This is hopefully his new catalogue cover:
I sew and try to do crafty things! Most of the time, I'll see something on Instructables.com and want to do stuff that's on there, but I'm no good with power tools... that's an amazing website btw!
Gatorgirl, I want that kitty picture! I would post it up on my wall xD!
I have no ounce of artistic ability when it comes to drawing and creating and such. The only creative thing I can do is play piano haha. So I respect all people who can draw.
Here's some old drawings of mine. I haven't done anything in awhile - I used to draw all the time in college. I really want to get back into it. I also used to draw nude figures all the time, but wasn't sure of the appropriateness of posting those pics.
(I apologize for the quality, I took pictures of them from my drawing book using my cell phone...)
I'm kind of a crafter-of-all-trades. No painting skills, but I bead (necklaces, bracelets, hair combs, earrings) and knit. I also make handmade ornaments every year for family, and they're all different - one year I made cubes with photos from weddings on each side (my sister and I both got married that year, so we did a photo of us, a photo of them, a photo from my parents wedding, and a photo of my grandpa. I made another that had photos of all of us dancing with my grandpa...one my mom, one my sister, one my partner, and one me).
Right now I'm knitting ten (that's 10) knit hats. My aunt has been diagnosed with terminal cancer and is going through treatment to get as long as she can...she'll likely lose her hair. I'm making matching hats (in everyone's favorite color) for her, her husband, and her two kids, their spouses, and her grandkids. I figure it'll be a nice act of solidarity (and quite frankly, after I found out I felt like there was -nothing- I could do, so this helped me stop spinning my wheels. I'm on #7 now)
jelbb: do you like the coronas?!!! Mark (the guitarist) is my cousin! I love there stuff!
I would give my left foot to be able to draw. my sister and best friend are both unbelievably talented! I get very jelous!!
As for me I crochet, cross stich and scrapbook. But my realy passion is photography. I want to do it as a side job some day but I have a lot of work to do on my "skills" or lack there of! here are some of my pics...
I'm in love with the last picture. it's my dear old dad and my youngest nephew!
OT: anyone crafty/artistic? post up
