I can't remember if I ever mentioned this to you fellow readers in a previous blog post, but last month I made the decision to venture back in the depths of Facebook (after two months of having the account deactivated), as I made a slightly shaky vow to myself to not get as addicted as I was before.
And to my horror, I found myself surrounded by the burning fire of that addiction again, as I was being led by my fingertips on the laptop to the website too many times per day, looking over other people's profiles and commenting on too many things...and feeling too tempted too many times to read over those little bright red-colored notifications that almost haunted me in my sleep. That probably sounded a bit over dramatic, but anyways, I once again deactivated my Facebook account yesterday, and I hope I won't find myself deciding to throw myself again into the website... So this morning, on the first day of my life post-re-deactivation, I drew a few sketches. It seems that without Facebook, I actually have the urge to create more artwork, because right after I deactivated my account for the first time last May, I also did a painted/drawing or two. Here they are, the results of Fb re-deactivation! Enjoy! :) ~~MC

As a result of one month without Facebook, I have two more images to share with you today. :D This is very exciting...I think that if I keep this up, I'll end up having to (finally!) buy a new sketchbook! Anyway, here are the two images I made in the last week. Enjoy! :) ~~MC 5/30/2011 0 Comments Take a PictureHello Everyone!
On this lovely (partly-sunny, partly-cloudy...The usual weather) Memorial Day, I decided to add to my sketchbook during my brief break from studying for finals (I spent nearly four hours at Starbucks this morning-AHH!). I feel like I've done too many charcoal portraits lately, because when I went over my art website I noticed that the last few pieces looked waaayyy too similar. Therefore, I decided this time to try something new and get out of my comfort zone. ;) I usually enjoy drawing realistic looking portraits with just one or two media (charcoal..or charcoal with watercolor), but this time I used three media (charcoal, watercolor, pastel) while I used a picture I found online to venture somewhat on the middle ground between naturalistic and abstract. My favorite part about making this piece was having fun with all the bright colors! I hope you enjoy it! ~~MC Hello there!
So I finally completed my final exams (hooray!!), so today I was able to take a few decent pictures of my new artwork and upload them for you. :) They're of course also featured on my art website, www.shirenesart.weebly.com. Well, no need tell you more about my pieces, because here they are! Enjoy! ~~MC P.S. Feel free to contact me (in the Contact...Moi section of this website) for any questions/feedback/etc. you might have! P.P.S. The third piece is what I haven't talked about in my last blog entry, because I hadn't done the piece yet. But I'll tell you that the medium I used for the background, unlike for the first two images, was pastel; though all three pieces were done out of charcoal. The original picture was on a page of the January 2011 issue of Glamour magazine (the one with Reese Witherspoon on the cover); the runway model was only on a fraction of the page, but I loved her sophisticated, effortlessly chic aura that she carried, so much that I decided to draw her. |
