Drawings made on sticky notes, late 2017.
Some sketches I did while I was working on my animated film project in 2018. I was testing for imagery that looks both realistic and abstract at the same time. It is that midpoint where you can still make out the forest, yet there is also enough ambiguity to let you see pure, organic shapes.
Aside from the first one, these didn't make it into the movie. With time constraints, I was unable to do as much as I liked.

Sometimes the art process takes me nowhere near my own personal look on art.
This particular image started out with me painting a red circle, and continued without my own will. This is how it goes: There is a direct instruction in my head to paint a certain color in a certain shape in a certain place. After I do that, I get the second instruction that may appear very clearly or sometimes rather blurry.
Step by step I follow out this out of nowhere input, and I don’t judge whatever it may be doing. It is as though of I am not creating the image myself, but recreating an already existing image.
When I finish, I am unsure whether I actually like what comes out, since I never included my own taste and interest in it anyway. But I still pay it much respect since it comes from the other side with a reason.
“I like writing fiction better than anything, because just being a writer of fiction gives you an absolutely unassailable protection against reality; nothing is ever seen clearly or starkly, but always through a thin veil of words.” -Shirley Jackson
The Fibonacci sequence was developed by the Italian mathematician, Leonardo Fibonacci, in the 13th century. The sequence of numbers, starting with zero and one, is a steadily increasing series where each number is equal to the sum of the preceding two numbers. This sequence can be seen in many natural patterns.

Something I did one night recently because I’ve been spending more time with school work than art. Plus I have 4 major work in progress drawings that I’m simply not making consistent headway in.
Here's some abstract shit. Explanation under the cut
Was thinking about drawing me, my mom, and sibling hiding together but it felt more abstract than that, so it is. The other ones r my nieces & nephews. We're all in shitty situations that we can't quite escape yet. It's hard, and suffocating, it hurts, but we're all going through it together. There's something almost beautiful about that.

Just want to post my art projects from this years that I'm most proud of-ish, and I'm burnt out from this week, and finals haven't even started yet.
This was an abstract piece that I made based off the Theme of Laura because yeah. Ngl, it's giving more TV Girl (the red lines are pink irl my lighting just sucks ass, and I'm too lazy to find better lighting).
This was my gridded drawing from the beginning of third quarter. I'm surprised I came out of this drawing alive after the million years I spent on it.
Lastly, my final. Because I wanted the option with the most creative freedom (and the easiest), I did another collage. This collage, once again, is about the Crane Wives, but I made it about their song The Moon Will Sing because I can.
Bad drawings of edgy, abstract kitties
Should I work on refining this kind of style?

Ah yes, abstract art that looks like the perfect rendition of a dark body of water
