i had a pretty crappy day. to make it worse, it was really hot. its supposed to be super hot tomorrow and tuesday as well. i'm not looking forward to 90-100 degree temps. i'm also not looking forward to what it does to my motivation to draw.

i didn't want to draw ANYTHING tonight. not even the portrait. but i forced myself. i put on some music and did my favorite thing.  drawing over a blotch of color.

i really love doing this. it reminds me of retro art and printmaking.  it also forces me to start looking at everything in such a manner that i want to draw.

today is the weirdest. just sketchy portraits tonight. the shirt i was wearing today kept making my boobs look huge. it was embarrassing since i stayed home all day.  i made weird poses in the mirror. it was strange. and kinda creeps. i'll draw that pose better some day. it would be awesome for a monster to do. and of course.

thirty (2)- day 2

today i did some more watercolors

my sister wanted to play with watercolor in the lovely afternoon sun. so i joined her. almost immediately she was jealous of how i was able to paint flowers. so she asked me to teach her how to to paint like i do. so we painted lavender. then i painted a small pansy bouquet since my mother's birthday is coming up and she likes to collect tiny paintings of pansies.  all it needs is a frame.

portrait 17 and 30 days

sometimes having a sister is awesome. sometimes its like wading through a ton of shit. today was one of those days.

portrait 16

yesterday was beautiful weatherwise. so it was awesomely spent in the following ways:
1. sleeping in
2. eating an extra delicious, healthy, and fresh breakfast
3. eating slices of watermelon
4. playing fetch with a very happy dog
5. inking comic pages and discussing them, and
6. with my hair in the most ridiculous do, which required every hair clip i had with me.

the best way to comic, outside in the sun.

also. my sunglasses are awesome.

today's portrait comes early hurrah!

also can you believe it? i've done 15 self portrait things. amazing. also it means that june is half over!

 

it is totally hot enough today to wear the dress from portrait 10.

resume the resume

today i got all frustrated about writing cover letters and resumes. its so confusing. how do you write/design one that will catch a potential employer's eye? also what the hell is an objective statement?  i actually got that work done though. and i was so sad too. when i finished the cl and resume i was working on, i was really proud. unfortunately all the formatting went to crap. the job i was applying for wanted plain text! so sad.

so today is a special (?) portrait.  its animooted. unfortunately, not very well, and its not really "polished." oh well it was still fun!
