In a Summery Mood...

Yeah, yeah, I know what I said before about me being not too happy about the coming of summer, but the weather has been really cooperating. I mean you could feel the heat and all, but its cool at the same time. I'm in a better mood for tomorrow, being the First day of Summer and all, and its going to be about 80 degrees, and the rest of the week is going to be 70 degrees. This is absolutely brilliant!
So in order to inaugurate the new season, I decided to draw this model, that seemed to just have come out of the water. I wanted to create this "beachy feel" to it, if that's even a word. I experimented on her face, adding colors that may not have seemed right at first, but I think it worked out fine in the end. What do you think?

Decided to go crazy again....

I think its the weather that New York City is having thats making me go a bit haywire with my art. It feels like fall a bit, but I'm not complaining. Its not just the temperature, but also the way the day turns out. It sunny, then cloudy, then it rains, then its sunny again. And this is all in one day. Its just another one of those crazy days!
One of the movies that I have recently been thinking about is "Slumdog Millionaire". I don't know why! Maybe its because of all these Middle Eastern movies that I have gotten into recently. So with the soundtrack in mind, I've decided to draw the musician called M.I.A. I'm not into her music, but with the reference that I used, sure made me want to draw her. I used nupastels, and ink on kraft paper, yet again. I've just been so into that paper these past few days......

Here's Johnny......

Johnny Depp, what more can I say? His name just gives me a reason to draw him. Depp is such an interesting character, on and off the camera. Therefore, I kept it real simple. I merely used pencil and white chalk on kraft paper.

Fashionista

So after a brutal two days of the heat wave that hit New York City, the weather is finally collaborating with everyone. Its acting like Springtime, the way its supposed to be. The last two days were just a preview of what the summer will bring, and I know I will not be happy about it.

Today I decided to draw models, with springtime clothing on. I used kraft paper, which is one of my favorite supplies to use, as well as nupastels. I like drawing with these pastels, because in a way I feel liberal with them, free, in the sense that I add more and more color to it, because I somehow see them. The fact that they are a bit dusty makes it all the more challenging for people to use. But hey, I like 'em....
