Doodles
So I know everyone across the internet has been so anxious to hear what creative stuff I have been doing while I’ve been having these annoying internet problems. Well, the answer is, doodling.
lol, I think that is the best word for these.
^This was drawn with crayons. We did a project in art in high school with crayons where after you covered the drawing in black ink, then washed it off, and the ink only stuck to the parts of the paper where there was no crayon wax. Unfortunatly my art teacher kept telling me mine needed more crayon, including balck (which I did not understand the need for) and by the time she decided it was good enough to put the ink on, there was no paper left that had no crayon on it. Funny enough, the one that I think came out best, was by one girl who didn’t really listen to the teacher’s advice…..
^Back to high school art class stories, the same teacher used to complain whenever wle worked in color that apparently we just got to caught up in the color and there was no difference in shade in the pictures (to demonstrate this she decided to use a computer to show them in black and white, the painting of mine she made this complaint about looked the same except without color in black and white, it still had shading- was hard not to laugh out loud when she did it on the computer. And then she mumbled some reason why she was still right…) So in honor of her, I did this, no black or white or anything used except in the background, just blue, pink and purple.
Sometimes I did feel bad for my teacher because none of the students liked her…. but every time I started to feel bad, she just had to go and remind me WHY no one liked her. (this teacher also used to lock- yes LOCK- my puse/bag in her office during open houses that I went in for, because it had pentacles on it, and it was a catholic school. Putting it in my “locker” was not enough. It had to be LOCKED in a separate room. … The doors look kept the evil aura away from the junior highers and their families I guess)
[I took out one photo from the post here because it may be triggering to this who have engaged in self-injury, it’s on my blog if one wants to see it, but I decided not to post it here since people may be less prepared for triggering images. ]
^ Apparently this is what I look like. lol. I’m not good at drawing the tilted heads. And yes, the head is floating in darkness with no body. That is how much I hate drawing any sort of background, lol.
Now I feel the need to remind people that these are NOT representative of my best artwork or anything, these are very quick (a few minutes)- doodles basically. I didn’t do any measuring and making sure my proportions were right, I didn’t do any pre-sketches, I grabbed some crayons and pastels and started drawing for a few minutes.
It was very fun for me though, even if the outcomes aren’t terribly awesome to look at, because I usually do try to measure proportions and get it just right, and it was fun to just pick up a pastel and whatever shape hit the paper stayed. No pencil, and erasing and fixing. Whatever went on stayed.
