School doodling

 

I was bored in school so I drew Joe. Omg using the bad quality school mousepad to draw was hell 

Song OTD

She's so cute - song and lyrics by Amaiwana | Spotify

Today's song is She's so Cute by Amaiwana. Couldn't find it on YT so I have to use the Spotify link :((

Not enough time

 I'm going to implode bc there's so many things I want to do, so many hobbies I want to start and master, and theres not enough time to do them!!! I get it now... when people say they wish the days were longer. There's never enough hours in the day between school, studying, sleeping, things you gotta do every day, etc. Oh my gouddd bro I just wanna create stuff so bad I wanna learn how to do all these things like woodcarving, animation, sculpting, amigurumi/crochet, improve my painting/art skills, learn violin/take up piano again, also wanna do a sport like boxing/martial arts and learn more languages OMGGG I wish people didn't need sleep or something there's barely any time to do things!! Does anyone else feel like they're running out of time or wasting time 😭😭 if I cut down on my phone usage and procrastination issues tho I'd have a little more time for things I wanna do,,.. working on it fr. Also the days feel so short now I hate that it gets dark so early :(( summer come back to me!!

Song OTD

Today's song is 上海滬引 (Shanghai Rendezvous) by Amaiwana! I loovee this song..,, it sounds so familiar, its kinda soft and cute sounding, lovely vocals, love the retro vibe!
 

I love drawing!

 

Starting to experiment with colors and whatnot. Pretty fun. I really want to master color theory and make artworks centered around detailed line art and beautiful color .. one day I'll get there

Song OTD

 

Today's song is 4Me 4Me by Malcolm Todd. Idk what it's called but I love this type of vibe in music. Also the intro part before the song starts is wild 💀 actually this whole MV is. Malcom you crazy 

we are so back

 life is good again :D song otds are coming back!! whoohoo!!

how i feel after listening to music again btw

I give up 😜😋😍🥰🙌

 decided im done with the no music thing. finally!! once it hits nov 10th im plugging my headphones back in and opening spotify. im so excitedddd. i think its pointless to go for the whole month bc i literally cannot avoid music anyways and life is just so much better with music. one of the world's greatest pleasures. itching to listen to songs.. even with this short break im sure music will sound better than it did before i started this challenge. 

Painting OTD

 

This painting is by Aziz Sulaymanov. I love the high contrast between the whole painting and the cherries, and the contrast within the cherries themselves. This painting looks so shiny and juicy and smooth and edible. Love the rough brushstrokes and subtle color changes! Also found his website and omgg love his other art too! In many of his paintings, the style is pleasing to the eye imo. Aziz Sulaymanov – Official Gallery and Store | @azizsulaymanov | Азиз Сулайманов

Painting OTD

Today's painting is by Frédéric-Pierre Tschaggeny - Young woman with parrot (1872). Gorgeous colors! The skin looks so alive and I love the vibrant blue cloth and soft, warm white/yellow shirt.

Young Lady in a Boat by James Tissot

Digital art...

 

mans i really wanna draw in a more realistic and sort of painterly style but its so hard dawg .. tired of drawing only in a simple cartoony style!!

Painting OTD

 Ran out of song drafts.. so until December I'm replacing song OTD with Historical Event of the day now! It'll be a little thing about some sort of fun or notable event that happened on the same day :) I was gonna do Historical Event OTD but I feel like it'll be boring after 3 days 

Today's painting is La Promenade (The Walk) Pierre-Auguste RENOIR

1870. Oil on canvas, 81 x 65 cm . J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles 

La Promenade is an oil on canvas, early Impressionist painting by the French artist Pierre-Auguste Renoir, created in 1870. The work depicts a young couple on an excursion outside of the city, walking on a path through a woodland. Influenced by the rococo revival style during the Second Empire, Renoir's La Promenade reflects the older style and themes of eighteenth-century artists like Jean-Honoré Fragonard and Jean-Antoine Watteau. The work also shows the influence of Claude Monet on Renoir's new approach to painting. (Took this info from Artly bc I'm lazy.)

    I love the pose and loose brushstrokes of this painting! The white dress really stands out against the darker background. Love the range of colors too. Overall very pretty, love the Monet influence too

Reading is sour fun

 Read an entire book in one sitting last evening feel like my 12 year old self again

Song OTD

 

Today's song is I Think I Like When It Rains by WILLIS. Used to listen to this and completely forgot about it omg. It feels soothing and cozy and nostalgic. Makes my heart hurt a little bit. For experiences I've never had. I love rain!!

Fersen is that you

 

I swear Klaus looks just like Fersen but with a blunter hairstyle.. is it just me or nah 

Song OTD

Today's song is About You by The 1975. This song is just... wow. It's so, so dreamy, it feels almost cathartic. Like you're in some sort of storm, and so much is happening, and time is stopping. The lyrics are amazing. Love when Carly Holt sings :) Definitely sounds like something I'd listen to on loop on a quiet, dark fall/winter night.
 

Copying Riyoko Ikeda

 I was bored so I drew some copies of Ikeda's art with watercolors :)

Maybe

 Thinking abt getting rid of all of my social media and only being able to be online about 1-2 hours a day for necessary things I gotta do. I really want to fix my attention span and do things that will actually help me instead of being addicted to scrolling 😩 Also thinking abt going for a month or so without listening to any music. Cuz I heard some ppl benefit from that. But it will kinda kill my blog cuz half my posts are songs. And I won't get to listen to other's posts :( Idk if I could even do it... or if it would help me in a drastic way. But I think it'll be interesting to see what happens if I go through with it

Song OTD

Today's song is That I Miss You by Vansire. Desperately looking for some fall songs rn (and failing), tbh this is giving late summer/early fall to me but whatever. The song has the word august in it so it counts!! This song feels kinda nostalgic cause I used to listen to Vansire a bunch. I love their vibe. 
 

Your Throne

 This manhwa I started reading. The plot and characters... love strong, cunning female protagonists fr. And recently started loving revenge plots (although it isn't the main plot of the story). The art is amazing too, although the proportions look uncanny at times. Heard it kinda goes bad after S1 and ends up like Girls of the Wild's tho... really hope it doesn't 😭

      

Song OTD

Today's song is Sugar-holic by ITZY! I was surprised when I heard this for the first time because I wasn't expecting Japanese lyrics with such a kpop-sounding (?) song. Listened to it with the MV and the visuals are sooo rruugg,., just beautiful ngl. I love the contrast between the more downcast scenes and the girls cheering each other up :) Oh, to have a friendship like that.... Love the slice-of-lifey vibe, just a friend group hanging out. Very cute, encouraging, and bittersweet song overall, melody and vocals slay.

Forgot how much i love doing studies

 

Brushes

 

It's really hard to find a good textured brush to draw with. Just want a brush that feels like pencil on paper.... all of the present ones I have either suck and/or are difficult to draw with. Feels like I'm fighting the brush to work how I want. Maybe I should just go back to traditional art.

It's november..

 Wth........ wdym its november already.. i know i say this a bunch but time is moving so fast! Wdym after this its gonna be december. and then 2025 is coming. Already?!? It still feels like 2021 or sum for me.. 2025 is some futuristic ahh sounding year bro take me back!! Also its november but its still warm out. I wonder when itll get cold?? It might not even snow during winter at this rate
