I think I should apologize for somehow switching the focus of this blog. Honestly though, I don't really mean for this blog to have a focus. It's just about me, I guess. 

However, I'm still gonna post this picture I took. :)

It's not me, it's the only local lolita I know, she's really nice and has great lolita coords!

Lately, I've been listening to tons of different kinds of musicians, bands, and music. It's really fun! I'm listening to Ilya right now. 

I drew another picture today, but hey, what's new? I've also been playing WoW again. It's really fun being an undead rogue. :D

Well, it seems there isn't much to talk about. I'll see you guys later!

Hey, everyone!

I've been pretty busy this weekend, but I got some pictures to show! 

wut

Okay, so to learn about this picture, I suggest you head on over to Detailed Candy and read the recent post about it!

Also, I'm thinking about posting more outfit posts. Any objections? I just like doing them for the motivation to dress better it gives, and because it's nice to give a face to the text you constantly read.

Last night, I got to see Exit Though the Gift shop, a documentary about street art and a very odd French man, a film by Banksy.
Yes, Banksy, THE BANSKY.

This is not only a hilarious film with awesome artwork. Looking deeper, this is a parody of street art, even art in general? I know that sounds dumb to say, but if you watch it, you'll understand. It's worth your time, I promise.

Also SUMMER'S HERE, MAN.

Which means more time to post, draw, and alter 50 or so books until I'm satisfied. I'm also going to get to see Joey and play WoW more often. 8D

Well, I'm heading out. Not much more to talk about but:

KYNA, you've got your blog comments set to approval, I hope you are aware. I can't be sure what comments went through because of that, and I'm sorry you have like 5 billion now...I just didn't see it appear, so...D:

Off to a wonderful Saturday! Hope you have a wonderful one, too!

Paperphile yappings.

Okay, so if there's one sure way to inspire me visually, it's got to be paper.
Yeah, paper.
So many kinds!
So many shapes!
So many textures!
So many possibilities!
Most of the stuff I make is just started when I get some new paper to work with.
I can't even explain it well...it's just a thing.
If I could think of the perfect gift for me, it'd have to be some paper assortment or something.
I've got some really good ideas for "the book" lately, due to this blog:
http://uponafold.com.au/blog/
They not only are an awesome paper distributor themselves, but blog about their inspirations constantly. Cooooooool pictures. Coooooool.

So, today is my last day of school, in other news.
Well, okay.
Last full day, but whatevs.
I'm so eager to get started drawing, creating, and all that stuff. I also have some personal projects I'd like to do for the summer.
And no more getting up at 5 AM! Huzzah, hooray!
Pretty much the best thing ever.

I could go for some givaways.

I certainly could, and you could too:

She's giving away some cute Japanese stuff!

Here you go.

Okay, so here it is. THAT NECK. AGHDHFSLASKJ
I want to work with the hair from, too. The part that's from the right side of her doesn't seem to...work, does it? I don't think it does. But hey, it's a sketch.

Dude.

Okay, so I know this isn't much of a reason to post, but I just wanted to say that Kyna, your art is still as awesome as always. 

Annnnnnd....

I finished a project in school today. What's odd is that at the beginning of the semester, I found these to take months, while this only took a few days and I'm much more satisfied with it. I this I lose the idea of the piece if I work on it too long. I guess this is motivation to work faster and more constantly. Luckily, I hate not finishing things I've started, one of my few good traits. 

I've started on the AP Art summer assignments already...a month, maybe two months ago?

Oops...I didn't do much, but yeah. 

I'm pleasantly surprised to hear we'll only have to do half the amount I originally thought. Only 5, but of course, 5 very good ones. 

I started with the one inspired by another artist/art movement, but I'm trying to see if Alfonse Mucha is associated with an art movement. I personally think he should be, as his work is so uniquely his, it's awesome. Like, favorite artist ever baby. Favoritttttee. (and sorry I said he didn't have the e at the end of his first name earlier, I just don't know why I thought that.)

Alright, I looked up his Wikipedia. Here's what it says:
"Alphonse Maria Mucha, first name from the Czech Alfons (24 July 1860 – 14 July 1939), was a Czech Art Nouveau painter and decorative artist, best known for his distinct style and his images of women. He produced many paintings, illustrations, advertisements, and designs."

Man. I want to be remembered like that. That's everything I want to do, right there. I mean, I wouldn't say I'd want to draw exclusively females, but you get the idea I'm conveying, yeah?

Anyway, I'll post the sketch of what I'm thinking of doing in just a second. It'll be in the next post!

Just a question!

Yay, productivity!

So guys, here's what I've been doing lately! This, and studying....

Summer will be here for me very soon, as I've got only 4 more days!
Now, a lowdown onto those drawings: They're all just stuff from my sketchbook, really. Nothing too special... the first one I started and completed just an hour ago, actually. Even though I'm for lolita over EGA, EGA's are really fun to draw...they look like they came out of a storybook!8D

The middle one was a character design for a comic I just couldn't make happen. Maybe someday? Maybe!

Oh, and the last one, is really just something I did in ballpoint pen for fun. It's supposed to be me, actually, but...not so accurate. ;-;
Maybe it'll get used in some sort of banner or layout...

I've been drawing so much more lately, and I'm glad. I need the practice. AP Art is next school year, and we already have summer assignments....
(you can learn more about those in my other specifically art blog; www.detailedcandy.blogspot.com)

Well, anyway. I hope to post here more this summer, I really do. But who knows, right?
See ya!

Chack all of these out! They're a bit unrelated, but still worth you time.

some things I've done.

Just some stuff I've made lately, the last one for school. It's a webpage. You like?

That's right!

I've changed the layout!

Well, hello!

I'm updating 2 days in a row? I must be on some new meds or something!

Naw, I ain't. I'm just spilling with gusto, I guess. Seeing as http://boodbyemomandad.blogspot.com/ decided to go and get himself a Blogger, I guess I should actually do something with mine.

(I guess you've noticed how I've linked to my Frillpi.mp site and Flavors.me/candy_universe)

I got my hair cut. It's pretty short now, short and bouncy. I've got that whole, Velma thing going on now. Glasses and a brown bob, oh my!

I also got to go to this thing called First Fridays around that time. It was really cool; a ton of art gallery-places and such opened their doors for people to come in a look around. There were a ton of people there, hipsters galore. Lots of inspiration for this little art nerd. 

Going to this ending weekend; I saw Iron Man and Robin Hood. Iron Man was good, as expected really, and watching Robin Hood right after that was a bit odd, seeing as I'm going from seeing high-tech warfare to back around The Crusades, but it was still really cool. I'd say Robin Hood was a bit hard to follow, but no real complaints here.

I hope I can get on here much more, because after about 2 weeks of finals, I'm done for the school year, and on to summer! I have so many things I want to do. I'm really excited. I hope I can at least document them in this blog, whatever they are. I also hope I can put more artwork on here. I haven't finished an official piece in so long...feels bad, man. 

Also, I'd like to make a portfolio site, but I'm a bit dry of ideas. Anyone have any? I want to make one that will have interesting content, but I'm not so good at that.

STOP. Banner time.

So I thought making a nice biggish banner would be nice. Sorry I've been not posting. School ends soon and I've got finals...but then, summer! :D
