Into Month 6 -

I had a lovely weekend with my husband. Friday we went and saw 'Big Miracle' and then watched 'The Help' at home. Saturday we went and saw 'The Vow'. I must say after watching that, I hope I never forgot Chris. Though I would give him the benefit of the doubt more then she did. It's been a long time since we had a movie weekend, felt good.


Speaking of movies, this Friday the new Studio Ghibli movie will be in theatres and I am praying that it'll come to my little city. 


I am officially in my 6th month of drawing, which adds to the craziness of life right now. I started a painting for the Juried Art Show. This Thursday I should be enrolling for my online schooling and starting that. 

 Day 151:


A cute caterpillar using crosshatch. 

 Day 152:


Another dragonfly. I love the style of scribble that I used for the wings. You have just built the darkness with layers. I learned that style in University weirdly.

 Day 153:


And to finish it all off, I tried a butterfly again. Maybe one day, I'll draw one that I actually like. Haha. Maybe I should try to draw an photo real butterfly. 

Day 154:


So for Month 6, I have decided to do doodles like I used to in High School. They are weird collaborations of things I see and things I imagine. Sometimes they are drawn representations of things, for example, this one is a wet kiss. Get it? Haha.

Bugs...

The start of my 4th month. Life is so crazy right now and I am working on getting it a little settled. 


My husband had a course to attend today in Yorkton so we drove up last night and spent the night. Today I drove around and shopped in the frigid weather. 

 Day 122: 


This month will be a month of bugs. To think of warmer weather. A dragonfly to start. Dragonflies stick out everywhere for me. They are so beautiful. 

 Day 123: 


A ladybug. Red and cute. All over the place. Haha.

 Day 124:


I don't really know what this was supposed to be. A beetle? Maybe? It kind of looks like one. Some bugs will be drawn from my imagination, that's for sure. :)

 Day 125:


I am not a huge fan of butterflies. They are played out and it seems like every girl has one as a tattoo or on her car. What can you do?

Day 126:


Ants. They can be drawn real cute but they are pretty annoying. 






Now to go look (and hope) my phone charger is in my bag.

End of another month..

Day 115:
True, in nature and for people. 
Rain happens because there will usually be a rainbow there somewhere after. 

 Day 116:
I didn't like the road that I was walking so I am making my way down a new one. I am excited to see where it'll take me. 

 Day 117:
I always feel at home when my husband says he loves me. <3

 Day 118:
Enough said. When a friends needs help, a true friend will be there for you.

 Day 119:
A music lover loves all music. 

 Day 120:
Trying things in life makes life worthwhile and fun. Try something new and even if you don't succeed at least you tried.

 Day 121:
I just think this quote is cute. :)

Day 122:
I always feel my strongest when I am stressed and under pressure. I take my struggle and use it to push my myself forward.

Life gets crazy...

So it's been a while, 15 days to be exact and oh what has gone down. I won't get into it all, but I will say Happy 100 days to me, Happy Solstice, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Tra la! 


The last month has really opened my eyes in life. I am going to truly get off my butt and stop putting up with bull in my life. 
I am going to take a course and better my work situation whether working for someone else or not. I'll get it figured out.


But right now, I'll draw...

 Day 100: 


One hundred days, it does not feel like it has been that long. Still have a road to trudge down though. 
People really don't understand the power of our minds. Anything you dream can be accomplished, as long as you are willing to work it out.  

 Day 101:


Create what is in your mind. How do you think people made the things that we play with everyday or read or drive, etc. If it doesn't come out the first try, start over and try again.

 Day 102:


The things that have come to an end in my life that I cried and cried over. It took a bit of growing up to see that they were amazing to have been a part of my life and the end of them helped mold my into the woman that I am.

 Day 103:


If you feel like a loser while trying to accomplish something, think that at least you are still trying to succeed when others simply give up and push away. 

Day 104: 


Yet again about the power of the mind. A lot whine and bitch that they have nothing in their lives and don't realize that they are making it that way. Think positive thoughts and live a positive life.

Whoa!

Everyday for 3 months!! Crazy. So crazy. I am proud of myself but astonished at the same time. I have drawn something everyday for a quarter of a year.

Now I have to think of a new theme... by tomorrow. (grumble)

 Day 90: 


A morning glory. I feel as if I am in the morning of the rest of my life. Starting slightly new, kind of fresh. So much ahead of me. 

 Day 91:


A poppy. Drew this mainly as I was Christmas shopping and my mom loves poppies. So they stuck out in all the stores. 


I have always been quite exceptional at remembering what people like and then it just seems to pop out everywhere I shop. I pride myself in that. 

Day 92:

Don't really know what I was trying to make of this one. Distracted by tea and a movie. And trying to think of a new subject for the next 30 days. 

Hmmm....

(ponder ponder)

Back at 'er..

Life has been a tad bit crazy. I have been working every single day for the past two weeks, and I don't have a day off until Christmas Day. 
I lost a friend, not in death but still sad, last week. I have learned many lessons lately and one of them, is art is what I love and I need to do it even when life gets me down. 

Day 79: 

I googled a flower of freedom and a lily came off so I drew it. It was my last day of somewhat freedom, before I started my second job. 

 Day 80:


So I started my second job this day. So I drew a dying flower. I go from one job to the next with half an hour between. It's crazy but it's good.

Day 81:


A flower of technology. My second job consists of working with computer techs and on computers.

Life:

Life, gotta take it one moment at a time. Do what you gotta do and enjoy it. 


I had a couple pleasant nights of visiting with friends. You should always work on the friendships that you have, not worry about the ones who don't reciprocate. 


Fallen behind on posting again, but not worried. At least I am getting it done, and I am really the only person looking at them. Haha. Sometimes I even wonder why I write so much before I post the picture.


Day 24:


I don't really know what I was wanting to lips to look like but once you draw with pen, you have to work with it. 


I did get a nice, almost, disgusted look I could say.


I am trying to work on the size of the cranium. Making sure that it looks like you can have a skull in there. Haha.






Day 25:




Made the lips waayy too big. Haha. I tried drawing a face the way I used to draw a cartoon back in High School. So it made one of the eyes kind of cock-eyed. But she does look like a tough broad that's for sure. She would whoop your butt.
