hard times b-b-b-baby
I finished my Spring semester and started my Summer one. I'm finally doing Graphic Design 1 and I was in a film class for two days until I realized it was a Journalism Film class and dropped it immediately. I added a Children's Lit class which is an Ed class and would count as an elective.. never taken an Ed class before so I hope it'll be interesting!! It's been a while since I took a lecture-based class that isn't an Art History one.
Anyway. Sketchbook/journal round up. Lots of random things (mostly Empires lyrics now that I think of it..... w/e)
Those two are a kind of diptych I guess. The lyrics are from the same Empires song.
Writing all over my old stuff is my new favorite thing.
Ripped acrylic.
The drawing is probably from a year or so ago and then I painted and wrote over it. I think the "newness" and "I don't want to ruin this" feeling towards a drawing is goes away after a while and allows me to feel okay about taking it apart and putting it together to recycle it into something new.
This was for mayqueen517 :D The bottom sketch under is from when I saw a Toulouse-Lautrec painting at the museum (uuuuuugh let me dieee)
And then these upcoming ones are tracing paper experiments. I didn't really make them with a "series" in mind but now they look that way lol. I've been using my tracing pad to draw on instead of a sketchpad (or well, one of my moleskines) so I can play around with layering and using watercolors on the base layer. I want to keep messing with that technique. The lack of permanence and ability to change out layers the way I want is fun.
Our museum has open drawing sessions (with models) so I went to one this week for the first time. It was actually really lovely. They had a male model in one gallery (so you get to sit and draw while being surrounded by gorgeous paintings) and a female model in another one.. and they had those drawing boards and paper and everything you would need. It was really awesome and I plan on going a bunch over the summer since my schedule is a lot lighter. Gonna try and keep myself in practice for figure drawing!!

I saw Bridesmaids yesterday and it was SO GOOD. Is it just me or are Hollywood comedies getting more and more hilarious? Could not stop laughing the entire time and the cast was awesome. Looved Kristen Wiig (and she also co-wrote the script, which makes a lot of sense actually..)
Oh yeah. I also signed up for levitt20in20 so I will be making icons for it soonish. Expect a graphic dump because I have so many random (Inception) graphics and icons that I make for myself and I think I'll post them along with the icons I make for the JGL thing. Alright, later, hope y'all have/had a good Caturday.
