Day 30
Getting back into the sketches and art and whatnot… I have a new fursona by the name of Nana (naw·nuh), so I went on a portrait drawing-spree earlier today. Here’s the results:

Day 28
For my Senior Studio class, I’m drawing some of the Disney princesses. The final pieces will be traditional work, involving pen and ink and some light watercolor for accent. I did digital sketches for my teacher. Here are three of them:
Can YOU tell who these fine ladies are? =D

Day 25
My hair is COMPLETE!
Although, it’s a little more green than turquoise…
Turquoise on top and purple on the bottom. I used Beyond the Zone “Tripped Up Turquoise” and ‘N Rage “Purple Plum” - The former smells like blueberries and the latter smells like grape bubblegum. I probably got a little high from smelling both, as they smelled so awesome! =P

Day 24 - Take Two
Well, I went out today and got some blonde hair dye. This version is Clairol’s Born Blonde. This one is specifically designed for darker hair. A plus for me, however, my hair is so dried out from double bleaching that it didn’t do that great of a job. I have to give it props, though. It was working with some horrible hair. lol Anyhoo, photo time!
Bag head!:
Aftermath:

Day 24
To get off topic of the art a little bit, I would like to share some personal life here. I don’t do enough art to really stick with that topic throughout this entire blog, so it needs a little personal feeling.
Anyhoo!
I’ve recently gone on a tangent when it comes to my hair. I’m talking about dyeing it! I actually dyed it for the first time back in high school, so I wanted to...

Day 10
Instead of uploading the girl and bird, here is the original idea of the girl and beast.
“Don’t worry. Everything will be alright.”
My photographing skills leaves much to be desired, I’m afraid. ^^; I attempted to fix the lighting issue in Photoshop, but the colors turned out more vibrant than necessary. And the fact that the yellow in the middle isn’t even...

Day 7
I said I would take a photo of my recent girl and bird, however, that will have to wait. I haven’t gotten around to getting some adequate lighting in order to photograph my works. So instead, I did some facial studies, so I will post those here in the meantime. Enjoy!

Day 5
In my last post, I talked about a story of a little girl that lost her family and home to a fire. After running away in devastation, she’s confronted by a beast. I decided to revisit one of the pieces from the internship, as it just wasn’t right. There was too much space in one area and it made the piece feel disconnected and empty. I redrew the entire image and managed to find a way...

Day 3
Last night, I came to the conclusion of the type of artist I am. Except, I didn’t write it down, so now I don’t remember.
Fail. But, let’s back track and see if it comes back to me.
Last semester, I was doing a sort of internship, as I liked to call it, with an art professor at Shawnee in Ohio. He kept pushing me to do things I wouldn’t normally do. I guess you could say...

Day 1
For the last week or so, I’ve been finding myself completely immersed in the History channel. I find myself tuned into biographies and the history of the planet. I wouldn’t say this is bad, but it’s like a complete overhaul of my personality. I feel as though I’m learning and that makes me happy. I’m sure this is only a phase, much like everything else in my life, and...

Prologue
Where does a person usually start when they begin to write about their life? I’m not here to tell past stories, or possible future events. I’m here to tell my life as it unfolds. This isn’t a diary and I won’t post daily. What this is about is the journey of finding oneself; learning what it means to be who I am. It may not be exciting at times, but hopefully those that...
