A sigh of relief for the weekends
Hi again~~ This is me going with another art blog because I had time to sketch while I was sick over the weekends. I was honestly told to rest too since I've been having such a really hard time with work. With all the accidents and equipment breakdowns happening left and right, I really was having a mental breakdown left and right too. So when I got a fever last friday, I really took advantage of the sick leave and I just slept. Then in the few times that I was actually awake, I tried to sketch, then ink in the sketch until I finished it a day later.
I mean, with 500 samples to go through daily since mid january, I really couldn't find the time to do anything else. Luckily my personal hell has a break for now until maybe... the last week of february? Hopefuully I have time to catch my breath and blog in those days.
Anyways, onto the drawing
This one really reflected my mood afte getting a bit of relief. A sigh so heavy you could see it condense against the light
Okay, maybe that's an exaggeration, but with how tired I've been these past 2 weeks, it really felt like that's how heavy my breath would be.
Here's the progression shots:
As you can see, I ended up going with soild ball point pens again XD taht's mostly because it was the medium closest to my bed. I didn't want to get up much to grab stuff from my desk while I was sick, I barely had the energy to sit straight so I couldn't draw on my desk this time. I just dis the drawing from bed. Sadly the only pens near my bed were the colors I rarely used. Here, I have a pink base
Then I found a blue and violet pen and that's what I used to build up a darker layer.
From here, I asked my sister to get me a black and white pen since I really felt that it was so incomplete without much highlights and shadows. I didn't really need the black pen after I added the highlights in since the neon easthetics in it really worked for me and I was pretty satisfied with it even if it's just freehand.
Materials used: Pink, blue, violet, white pen
Duration: A cummulative 3 hours since I didn't really stay awake that long when I was awake.
The photo seems to be someone with unkown face but having head and body and capturing the soul of the woman. I'm not sure why, but that was the first thought that came to my mind. Haha shems kung ano-ano nakikita ko.
Like the kind of soul sucking you see in horror movies? 🤣🤣🤣
Boi you need to stop watching weird stuff

This is gorgeous! It reminds me of some art i did when i first started experimenting with color and mixed mediums. I started out being a pencil and ink maximalist. I did some weird stuff with wax Crayola Crayons and then using highlighters to move the wax around with bottom layers popping out. I mixed or layered colors that aren't supposed to work together. It was a fun time in my journey, and your color range and use of mediums here reminded me of that time and a few pieces in particular.
Heeyyyy I'd love to see those experiments of yours! I'm still on my very experimental phase so I'm still mixing up things I know I shouldn't. Then also just enjoying ink because I love how solid the color is and how neon it really goes
The less critical you are of your art when you experiment... the more the experiments will give you surprising techniques and unexpected successes. You will even enjoy learning from failures to figure out how to succeed once it gets worked out.
Go with the flow... don't let your analysis get in the way of your process. There is always time to constructively critique your art and technique later.
I may have a little bit of that art posted WAY down on my blog. Crayola Queen might be the title of one of them. I don't have time to go look but if you get bored you can scroll down my blog and check my old art posts and i might have some in there somewhere.
