Filler + update

So, classes are finished… I am somewhat unnaturally tired, which is one reason why you haven’t been flooded with art/writing/yay. The other reason…… you can probably guess from the nature of this filler.

(Psyche is SO CUTE!! XD )

Also, I kind of like the top picture of me… while the bottom picture gives my hair the unfortunate appearance of being made of ramen. …I’m not eating that much ramen. : P

Flaire and Jen

Trying out my new markers. They’re no better and no worse than the old ones of the same brand, although for a moment I was very impressed for some reason. I forget what the reason was, because you can see how well they work on shading large areas. : P

Also there is no orangey-pinky-brown, so no skin colours for us! D :

J’aime le Tour

Mwahahaha, behold my powers of fangirling. : P

The guy in front is supposed to be Ryder Hesjedal; following him is one of the Schleck brothers (pick your favourite 😉 ) and last but definitely not least is Cadel Evans. …And then there’s me.

My first time drawing a bicycle. : P Yus, I copy/pasted. Whatever. IT’S ALL FOR THE KAWAII.

Wow. Just wow. So many crashes today, and bad ones, too. I am shocked. I feel so bad for Hoogerland… I bet he pulls out. And poor Vino! He made such a great effort yesterday, and I was still looking forward to seeing him ride on. Phil and Paul say that with a broken pelvis, his cycling career is pretty much over; he was planning on making this his last Tour anyway, but it’s really sad to crash out (even dramatically). And then everyone else who went down… sending them hopes that they heal quickly!

BUT. Thomas Voeckler is the most adorasquee cyclist in the business. Andy’s cute, but Voeckler… wow. Did you see how happy he was?!?

Adorable griffon alert, if you haven’t already seen it.

Recital Poster 2011

  

Yeee! It’s done. Please let me know if I left out any details. Like logistics or maybe some shading looks funny or you don’t like the font (Trajan Pro) or something. Click for giant version, and then you can download it and print it if you like. I know it doesn’t fit on a regular page. I’m gonna just print it on larger sheets of paper and have strange white stripes down the sides. Continue reading

Poster WIP

Three weeks until my grad recital! So I’m working on the poster. Here is a preview. The background will probably be a light colour but I may change my mind. I do like pictures with deep rich hues in addition to pretty pastels.

Thoughts? What needs improving? I think I need to touch up the end of the nose because it’s not really coming out of the face like a nose should. Also my eyes aren’t that bright brown.

Demon Jen

I was busy today. Classes, homework, a little practice, and I went shopping because I am playing Lilith with AlexR on Monday, and apparently it’s tradition to dress up as a demon. Soooo… I needed a demon costume. So I bought my first ‘little black dress’ and it is totally cute, but it’s a lot less than I’m used to wearing. And I decided to draw a picture of it. End of long boring story!

Also the dress is cute, but both the buttons that keep the halter-part on broke the second time I put it on, so that’s kind of stupid. And I don’t actually have the fangs yet. I have more shopping to do tomorrow. I have the finny ears, though.

This is a small picture because I was just fooling around with large blurry brushes drawing female figures – trying to get the proportions right again – and I liked this one. But I didn’t feel like making a super-detailed picture, although I could have.

I reread The Secret Garden and it is sooo not a girly book; it’s a book about health. And I would like to try some of this healthy stuff. I don’t think I will seriously take up gardening, but it’s just kind of inspiring to see – here are people working hard out of doors, and they love it! They’re strong, and they like to sing, and they are happy and friendly! And of course the part where Colin stands up is the awesomest thing I read all week. Maybe all month. I haven’t done a lot of reading recently.

Off to the weekend, where I play in 3 recitals, listen to two more, and have an audition. Eeek!
