To kick off the new school year why not do a water color of Sublime's sun logo. I've always loved the song "Santeria" and many others by them so I decided to do the sun logo. I thought it would be a fun piece to do with water color pencils and to try them out for the first time. It was tricky at first but once getting the hang of them it was pretty easy. I then took ink with a calligraphy pen and did the eyes and black outlines on the sun. If I had to change anything I would make it more even and symmetrical than it is.

It's homecoming week here at G-A. For this week I did makeup for a different type of media that I don't use much especially on other people than myself. Josh was my masterpiece that I did for homecoming for Wednesday on trendy day. I made him an "E Girl". I wish I would have done his eyeliner and the heart under the eye better but the lipstick came out good.

Going back to last year I did ribbons for National Coming Out Day for GSA. This year we opened it to the whole school with staff and students buying ribbons to wear on this day. It was fun seeing everyone that joined in and those wearing ones from last year throughout the school with pride.

To be honest, I did not do much this week. I haven't really had some inspiration so I goofed off and did whatever. I finished off one of the colors for Mrs. N's weaving loom thing. Next week is Halloween so I might just end up doing makeup and SFX makeup then if I can't find anything to do then. Might bring my Freddie Mercury painting back in to finish.

Well considering I was gone most of the week besides like two days, I did not have much time to work on stuff. I did do more on a bracelet I started long ago though. Next week I plan on to bring in my Freddie Mercury painting in and starting off by redoing the background fade.

This week I actually did something for once, so Mrs. Niesen should be proud and happy for once with me because of it. I have been hooked on horror movies lately so I decided to do something inspired by them. I plan on to put a quote of some sort along the bottom and the top four slots are going to be inspired by four different movies: Scream, Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday the 13th, and Halloween. So far I finished the sketches for Scream and Friday the 13th.

Continuing with my horror movie-themed painting, I decided to switch out Halloween with Texas Chain Saw Massacre. Going through with it, I started painting Scream, Friday the 13th, and Texas Chain Saw Massacre. I also started putting red down on Jason's mask. I plan on to put detail in the chainsaw and Jason's mask next week as well as to start the sketch Freddy Kruger's glove. I am currently still on the hunt for a quote to put along the bottom.

Happy Friday the 13th!
Well I went back to using Halloween instead of Texas Chain Saw Massacre. I also put the final details on Jason's mask and started sketching Freddy and Micheal. I hope to be able to start painting them next week and finishing off Ghost face. Along the bottom I think I am going to put "You can't kill the boogeyman." a line from the song "Stabbing in the Dark" by Ice Nine Kills. Their newest album The Silver Scream, which is all classic horror movie inspired, is what inspired me to watch more of those movies. +13 December 2019+ |

So I took an even longer break from my horror movie collage this week- even on top of winter break- and finished up a Christmas present for a friend. I made the character Futaba (reference on the right) into a lego (pictures on the left). It was something way different than what I would ever do and I don't really like it but for my first time, it's not too bad.

Finishing off this semester, for the exam we brought back a drawing we did at the start of the year- which I took one from June 2019- and recreate it with what has been learned through the semester. To be honest I did not do anything with drawing people this semester. I did another drawing of Lorena again though but I'm not too proud of it. I wish I would have done more with detail overall. I also put acrylic around since I have been painting a lot with it. I am happy how the nose and mouth came out this time around but I prefer the eyebrows on the original. I like the concept of the background that I was going for but I do not like the way I executed it. I want to draw more people and continue as my style has changed in a little over half a year.
