Collections and Sketches

Hi! I know it's been a while and I've been busy! We just got settled into our apartment after 7 long months of trying to get on our feet. Don't get it twisted though, I've been very diligently working on my collection and some sketches.

Well...here is what actually happened. My nerves were in such a bad place that I ended up having to sketch for my sanity's sake. It seemed to be the only thing I could do to settle my nerves! I mean I know I'm not the only one who's ever done it in history. According to my art professor in college Piccaso actually painted an entire painting with a woman hurling dishes at his head. Art is a peaceful craft, but I don't know how peaceful I'd be with a dish flying at my head.

During this time I made it my business to create a more structured collection. I had created this collection back in February for Valentines Day, and I actually ended up in the hospital for some reason. So just this May I went to the library and I did a portion of my power point slide. Here is what I came up with:



I actually couldn't add music because I used a free limited version of Microsoft Power Point on my OneDrive account, and for the record it is very much a life saver. I mean it would be awesome to have the full version on my OneDrive account so that I can really create my collection as I desired but it was enough for the time. I recommend to any student in college a OneDrive Account. This way there will be no need to actually have a physical laptop of your own around, or even if you do have a laptop but just can't afford the software it is a really good investment to get a free account.

Now onto my sketches...I have way more that I've drawn since, including some rendering practice I've done, but here are some of my sketches and drawings that I practiced hard on. Now excuse the blurred colors in the footage because I was unable to use professional markers and colored pencils. I actually did these at the library with some crayola's, and as someone who's so adapted to using Prismacolor markers and colored pencils I actually see the difference. Trust me though, once my supply of art materials comes that I will be back to using what I'm more adapted to using. If you want to take a look at my work, here is a link to my work on instagram:
