Watercolours

      Ahh - I've recently purchased new brushes and card stock along with a new set of watercolours. I've been contemplating what I really want to do before getting down to it (and reading up on how to use the watercolours to the best of my abilities since I'm more used to acrylics). I have a general idea, but just haven't gone through with any of them - lack of motivation I guess.

     I have been doing many fashion sketches lately, just to scribble outfit ideas down, and I've been trying to draw people of all sizes in the little outfits I think of. I guess it is mainly due to the fact that I myself am not thin in any sense of the word and don't want to be a hypocrite - if I were to only draw thin models in my work, I feel as though it'd be taking away my whole view that fashion is for everyone (like plus size magazines who showcase their clothes on thin models - not very accurate lol).
This sketch is really just anatomically gross. I think it has to do with the long arms and seemingly short legs (or just that it was a badly drawn sketch ghgh). This is a traditional piece that I just sketched in marker last night; I took the photo with my phone then sketched over some of the lines in photoshop.

     I have been really loving the idea of red blazers recently and honestly want to own one myself lol I've also fallen in love with frilly shirts 'old lady' shirts.
     This is a drawing of a friend's character; her raised arm is off, I believe but not too badly, I hope? She didn't request this or anything, I just felt the need to draw a woman after drawing so many men. I'm personally pleased with how she turned out regardless of some mistakes - I was in a ruffle phase a while ago and just loved drawing lots of folds. I tried to portray the chest piece of her dress as lace - I hope everyone who has seen her has caught on to that fufufufu.
     For a while all I really did was digital work, but my monitor is so off with it's colour (I need a new monitor lol) that I just haven't been using my tablet as much. No one really sees my traditional work because it doesn't have that great of a quality (i.e. the first picture lol).

I've been sleeping so late into the day that I'm surprised I get anything done - o - I don't feel motivated ugh ugh

I need to record a new video for youtube account I share with a group ... I just have no idea how to keep the video relevant to the group lol
Maybe I'll do a tutorial of sorts someday.
I may blog a review of products for this blog - I don't know, a bunch of ifs lol
