Art Project Progress Day 3

Lets face it... i have no idea what i'm doing. I was going to do more today but when i got to the tiny white writing on the camera i gave up for better things. Aside from the drawing i've watched the first 10 episodes of Switched at Birth (volume 1 DVD) in the last 24 hours.... i regret nothing! Its a really good show BTW.

Anyway, now that i don't have anymore tv to watch i'll be able to concentrate more on drawing.

UGH! i DO NOT want to do this anymore.

Having art for homework isn't quite as fun as just art as a hobby.

Art Project Progress

This is what I've done today. if you can't tell i'm kinda a procrastinator. I REALLY don't want to start the distortion!

Grid Distortion Drawing

This is the art project that i need to finish for Tuesday.... yayyyy...

OMGHHKP it takes FOREVER!

Rules:

Must distort part of the image

Must go ONE SQUARE ARE A TIME!

It takes about a half hour to do one horizontal line. With my attention span after that i need to go scream in a pillow or something. Pencil drawings like this are not my thing. I've barley even started the distortion but my brain already knows it doesn't work that way.

The camera is the part that i am distorting. Instead of the grid being squares... over the camera the grid has wavy vertical lines. Being the inexperienced drawer that i am this is not easy.

I'll update tomorrow with my progress...

Butterfly Valentine's Card

This is a card i made for my aunt for Valentine's day. For the butterflies i cut out the images from the Tim Holtz pattern paper, then i used my watercolor pencils to make them all pink and purple. I stamped the word love all around and added some punched out hearts as well.

I have a five day weekend starting tomorrow and an art project due on Tuesday so for the next few days i will be updating you with my progress.

Happy Valentine's Day!

(sorry for the sideways picture)

This is a card i made for my mom to give to my dad. The hear was cut out on my cricut and then i covered it in red glitter... (which ended up EVERYWHERE!) the wood grain was stamped with an inked up stamp i sprayed with water to make it a little blotchier.

Some Drawings

I've been having lots of fun with my watercolor pencils. Above is a bird (clearly) and below is a car that... well... is pretty misshapen. I'm not the best drawer, that's for sure.

Below is a snake that I did yesterday with the new oil pastels I got. It was the first time I really used them so I was just testing them out.

Watercolor Butterfly Card

Let's face it... I'm not studying. I spend my time watching countless episodes of How I Met Your Mother and learning the Harry Potter song on guitar. So here's a card my mom asked my to make for one of her friends.

I used watercolor pencils to color the stamped butterflies. I attached them to the square card base only with a bit of glue in the center so the wings stuck up.

The gold circle is a piece of chipboard that i put a few layers of gold embossing powder on.

Then I stamped the little "happy birthday"
