| Well today I got a brand new box of oil pastels and sketch pencils, and for Christmas (oh how far it seems) I will be buying myself (my parents hand my sister and I 100$ Visa gift cards and say have fun) a Wacom Bamboo tablet! *squees* Oh how i've wanted one of those puppies....soooo...I'll be experimenting with both the sketch pencils, the oil pastels, and when i get it, the tablet......not that I've never used sketch pencils, mechanical are just more commonly found in my hand.....particularly Papermate Clearpoints. I've also used pastels, just not on my artwork....only in art classes....where we were forced to color, blend, and shade a certain way....bleh! i hate being told how to draw, or shade....which is why I refuse to take art classes....our art teachers will not let you draw in an anime-ish style....which is typical of me..... Art teacher: REALISM! REALISM! REALISM! >O not my thing really....plus a sketch due every Tuesday? It takes me days to be inspired to draw anything, and anywhere from 6 hours to 4 days to draw anything worth the paper it's on >> "Quick sketches" are anything under four hours......I'm waaaaay to OCD perfectionist on my drawings......even my best work, an interpretation I did of Hades, Greek God of the underworld, I can still find things to fix and/or erase *exasperated look* four days to draw him and i can still find things wrong....that's horrible. |
