After some on-and-off time spent thinking, I've decided to cease blogging at this URL. I'm leaving it open as a reminder of what progress (as little as it may be) I made in 2008. No, it wasn't really a good year; I was barely inspired, doubted my 'skills' profusely and wanted to give up Art altogether.

And then...

Meet 2009. I've been brimming with the need to draw, draw, draw.

This post isn't technically late because it's still in the timeframe of 2008. So without further ado, I present my presents! xD



In smaller news, I'm thinking of moving URLs. This is supposed to be an art-blog, but it's become a little too informal. It's still undecided, but I'm leaning towards starting afresh and serious.

The new blog layout is being made! It'll feature my favourite portraiture artist, Audrey Kawasaki. :)

Hi readers. Or shall I correct myself by saying "no one" since I doubt anyone ever visits this place any more. @____@

Well whoop-de-whoop, I doodled last night and came out with this. To a trained eye, the proportions are probably ghastly. Let's not address the shadows (or lack of) either. At least I'm happy with it.

YESSSSSS. Finally. ==
I slaved over this layout and everything you see for over six hours. Determination, much?
Nothing much new in terms of content except for a little bit more info in the Profile section, and having Kristy as a new addition to the Links section. xD

As for yesterday's trip to Faber Castell, I was in heaven. 8D
They're selling merchandise at 50+% of the retail price! Hopefully going to grab the $20 ($70 RRP) set of pencils next week. Comes with a free miniature easel too. :D Yey.
Ironically, the most expensive thing there is a large toy truck at $50 (cut down from $70, I think?). There's plenty of stuff that you can grab with a mere $20 note. :) Can't wait to head back there.

Off to do homework (namely, Visual Arts'). xD

And yes, my net is still alive! .. For now ..

Ever since my last post, I've done practically nothing under my own accord. D: It was only when I was told to do something that I actually made progress.

During the holidays (weeks following last post), I spent many hours trying to make a new layout for this site. I was and still am unhappy with what I've done with the codes. It's about 80% completed, but I doubt I'll use it. Before I could go exploring new concepts for another layout, I reached my cap limit and thus my boundaries were pulled further in. T_____T

I was hoping to initiate a layout change before I posted again, but alas: I've failed. ==



The above was done about two weeks ago. I've been putting the upload and entry off in favour of gaining a new layout. :\ Anyway. Sunah (pictured) modelled as she read the newspaper. I've had some comments on the way I've elongated certain facial features .. But there's a reason behind it!
I don't use an easel so I see the paper at a certain angle, and thus draw according to this angle. That's why it's kinda stretched. D:

I've remedied this in my work towards the HSC Body of Work. :3 I'm practising figure drawing (anatomy work) and I'm using the easel this time! xD I've been putting effort into the practise instead of the product, which is quite unorthodox for me.

Heading off to a Faber Castell sale tomorrow and I'm hoping to pick up some supplies. I love Faber Castell. :D The ad that the factory dispatched said they'd be selling toys as well! :D

Another thing: my net is going to be disconnected soon. I have no idea when it'll be reconnected, but I'm hoping to Jeebus that it won't be long after the (metaphorical) plug is pulled. D: In this case, I doubt I'm going to be updating this site while I don't have access to the Internet at home. Good side: I'll be able to focus more on upcoming content. Bad side: No net = Boundaries. D:

Let's hope I'll be able to blog again soon. :(

This is a little late in the posting area, but it's here nonetheless! Just a little reminder to myself of what I achieved in the latest Visual Arts exam.

Yeahh, so during the actual exam, I was dawdling a lot in the beginning. But then I picked up pace and refused to stop writing until Milledge was standing next to me waiting for me to hand over my bundle of writing booklets.

And within the last week, we were issued with our results.
Section One: 20/25, 80% | Section Two: 20/25, 80%
Total: 40/50, 80%
Highest marks in the class, and I tied with Ananthu. Blimey, it takes a little something-something to overtake him, haha.

I'm pretty satisfied with my marks, though I expected more when I was writing up the actual answers. But then I read through them and I realised they were rather disjointed and deserved the mark I was handed.

Yepp, so the Preliminary course is done. :) Yey. Visual Arts wasn't what I expected, and to be honest, I was bludging a lot (especially through Prac. lessons).
For the HSC course, I'm going to pucker down a lot more and focus until my eyes roll backwards. 8D I'll be heading off to go shopping for art supplies hopefully. Looking forward to a brand spankin' new VAPD. :D
