Gift Process

Actually I am not sure if there will be more processes :D but here it goes anyway :D

Something I’m doing for mom, I never do portraits of people, like never ever, I hate it, too much pressure and tension, because if I make one little mistake, even if people don’t notice it, I will! Forget about live painting/drawing, even sketching, I can’t I don’t know, I wont be able to bear the weight of knowing my mistakes when I look at a drawing, so I prefer to copy from a picture, easier, you can take your time encouraging yourself, that you can do it, much easier you know, so I was about to say all of that to my sister, when she said, do it for her birthday! If anyone knows me, I am really really bad at getting a present or giving away gifts, I simply don’t know, even if it was one of my closest friends, I would fail miserably at finding a gift, I should though however, stop thinking this way, so I can get a meaningful gift for someone, but hey! I love getting presents :D

Yeah, mom is going to have her Birthday on the 2nd of January, and as far as I remember, I never bought a card, or well… never had the thought of buying or making one, only when pressured and persuaded by others… so today I thought, I’ll change that, lets draw mother, cause few days ago she was asking me to draw her picture, when she was younger, like decades younger :D (Yeah I know lame joke, but I found myself funny and cool) so here it goes, the sketch, and the original picture, you’ll notice that I am not really doing a realistic approach at this, though I had something realistic in my mind, but I kinda like what I’m doing now.

Hope it will turn out well!!

Till next sketch (And again, sorry for not posting on daily notice, but I saw this coming, but I know like I said before that I’ll be drawing/uploading on daily basis :D yeay!)

After Christmas

Sadly enough I wasn’t able to update my blog yesterday, I feel that I’ll be faced with similar days, hopefully less as time goes by, this time around, I will try to make my blog more personal, as in I will include comments that explains why am I doing what I do, as why did I practice on doing this? Well first off the chick at the top is hot :D nothing special about that, but I kinda screwed her face, oh well! Guess I will need to draw more hot chicks then! (hahaha) the big face and the child are a part of my favorite comic book ever, my first comic book, X-men Generation next its an old comic book, since the days of Casper :D anyway, I always loved the style of the book, with the crisp lines, with straight shapes, and with great violence and sequence, and the best part of it all, is that its the part two of three, so I had no clue about the characters and the story, never had been introduced to a comic book world, and never thought that I would take it as my main goal (actually I did, but I didn’t want to ruin the drama)… anyway it gave me a big chance to imagine how the story might be like, to always want to know more about it, to find out how it went, that’s of course, at that time, with no resource of getting my hands at another book, I had to invent everything, I didn’t even know what the word mutant means, now I know more specific terms rather than Nidal’s simple term, like Brain power! (WOW!) feels like he wished he had brains, oh well Nidal, not everyone is as lucky to have brains:D and you certainly didn’t prove to have any when you said that (HA HA) away from the jokes part, but so far I don’t know what goes in the story, I think I have a good idea what is supposed to happen, and I learned later on more about each character (thank you wikipedia for being so stupid and fun sometimes!)
Guess this is the part were I say how it affected me, I guess one way or another, and after learning few lessons of my own in life, people want more, I know it has nothing to do with it, but stay with me for a while I’ll explain it more, show business, they just make you want more, why not art? I had an argument later today with my mother, she said I never finished any of my drawings, even if they are finished they are not showing a complete person, I tried my best to explain to her my conceptual idea behind it, which is I want the viewer to seek more, like I did with the comic book, I wanted to know, the gap that I was found at, not knowing the start from the end, made me wonder and want more of it, but then I found out, even if I knew or had the ability to know more about the story (like reading other issues on the web if I find any) I don’t think that I would want to know it, its this middle part that makes me enjoy it, it the same thing chicks (yeah I am good when it comes to this) want! To enjoy wanting more… in other words, (no I am not a chick) I enjoy the state of mind of wanting to have more, cause it always the imagination to flow, it always freedom although it requires a very strong level of freeing yourself from the cell of wanting more… but at the same time it frees you… so hopefully, that’s something I want to reach, its not like I am making an excuse for not finishing a drawing, I’ll have plenty of those in the coming future (I know it, I saw it :P <heroes>) but its more fun to imagine a finished cube rather than a finished one, a hard way is more fun than the easy way, cause with the hard way comes lots of experience, and a good thing to remember :D

Thank you Hord for the delightful gift, I will always enjoy it as if it’s the first time I have read it :D
