DTIYS challenge, but I change the pose for once.

More of this trend. I was obsessed with doing DTIYS. I mean it's just easier to make art if you don't have to put the brainpower into making a character/setting (hence the fanart, DTIYS and, tbh, life drawings)

This one took me foreverrrr. I can see why the others' designs are so cartoony in comparison - lot faster for me to draw.

Explored what this guy would like when angry, and I like what I came up with

Big thanks to Morgan Freeman for narrating this video. Tried to get David Attenborough, but he wasn't available.

Video assignment for english. Was supposed to utilize one filmmaking technique/genre (idrk) and I chose the archival footage one and made a video of Baby James.

This was really fun to make.

Painting Assignment

November 18, 2021 - December 16, 2021

Gr11 assignment where we had to paint something that has a meaning.

I'm gonna yap about my thoughts on this.

I hate it when teachers/people start developing this notion that every piece of art needs to have a meaning. I get that that's why a lot of people do art (whether to convey a message or just vent an emotion), but once it's forced it's no longer an outlet. I like doing art because I do. And if it has a meaning to me, that's for me to know. Everyone has their own experiences that vary their interpretations, which leads to people seeing stories that you may not have intended (which is fine). But I don't see the reason for chastising the artist if you don't see a meaning to their work.

Idk, I just feel that once you force an artist to make art that has a meaning, you're taking away the freeing aspect of art. With art, you're the one in control of what you create and the messages you send, but once it's forced it defeats the purpose.

Anyways,,, I needed to paint something that has a meaning, which i really didn't feel like doing. The way around this was to paint something that has so many fucked up aspects that most people would think this says so much about society. Dead animals? check. fucken,, fire? check. impossble perspective?? you love it babyeee

I had fun painting this piece, but it did take me a bit to get over my angery about me having to have a meaning. I eventually leaned into thinking how funny it was that peoplewld think this says so much about society when I was just dickin around.

(also this assignment had a written portion where you have to explain the meaning, but I never did that 🤠👍)

This was a painting me and my ex started way back when. I ended up taking it to my dorm and working on it periodically over the above timespan. I wanted to get it done before the end of the semester. I got pretty close, but there's still a few things I've got to do to finish up this painting.

It's a fun piece. I like nonsense things like this because there's no rules. Any problems/things that look wrong just add to the piece 😘😚

Was me figuring out colour theory- mainly just not shading with black to get more dynamic shadows or whtvr

Didn't like and still don't really like either of these two drawings. So much so back then that I archived it from my insta cos I couldn't stand looking at them (and I was embarrassed that i seemingly downgraded in skill)

insta notes:

so uhh I finished this sometime last week but got too lazy to make a post and now I dont remember which day I finished it

i started these at the same time as my mako drawing and oooh boy they'd been wips for wayy too long

ngl I had no idea what to do for the background and everything after the initial cell shading was just me playing around. I like the finished piece for the pink one but I dont rlly like the bg effects on the orange one.

orange one was supposed to have a shotgun of some sorts but uhhh something something the hand position was dif than what I had and I just didnt do it

Finally got around to remaking character sheets for these guys. It's meant to be a colour reference sheet, but I'm tweaking their designs so that there's more distinction between the different charas

Played around with this guy's expressions a lot. I really really like how emotive the butterfly face can be
