Hello, All! It's been like, two days since my last blog post after a summer of blogging silence. Hopefully, this means that this Fall I'll be a better blogger. Actually, what sort of pushed me back into this blog was the fact that every time I uploaded some art on Instagram, I felt really bad. It feels sort of narcissistic, which is not what I want to convey. I just really really really really love art, and I want to share it with other people. HOWEVER, someday if I become an Illustrator I'm going to spam up whatever social media site is popular with pictures of my art.
 Guess what? I didn't even share my last blog post on Facebook and it got 14 pageviews. Albeit, 6 or 7 of them were from me. Random!
 Moving on, this is a piece I did yesterday. I was trying to decide whether to do a forest-y painting or a hipster-y painting. I've been wanting to do a hipster painting lately since that is such a big thing and I think hipsters are cool (although I am not cool enough to be one...or am I not not cool enough?) , so maybe that will be coming soon. Anyway, I am a sucker for foliage and floral, so I went with a forest-y painting.

 

 This was actually my first time to do a flowered crown. A lot of the artists I follow on Instagram have been doing them and it seems to be a trend in fashion. I didn't think it would turn out very well, but I'm moderately satisfied. I should learn how to draw more flowers though. It would help create a more diverse arrangement.
 And yes, that is a picture of my feet. It was to show how small the picture was. Anyway, look at the pictures and give me some feedback! They are a little dark because I took them with my iPhone. Also, I cannot for the life of me figure out how to change the font.

Back To School

Hello, All! It certainly has been awhile... I don't think I've posted all summer. For awhile I had seriously considered abandoning this blog; I actually sort of did and started another. However, I let that drop to. So somewhere out there in the vast Internet world there is a blog with one post. I wasted space. :( oh well. Another reason I wanted to drop this blog was because every thing on here is really not very good art at all. Even from my last post, my style has changed a lot (like, seriously, the necks? They make me shudder.) I'm always learning new things and constantly looking back and seeing all the flaws in the pictures I once thought were amazing. So I know in a few months or years I'll look back at the pictures I draw now and think they are terrible. Which makes me wonder if everyone else can see the flaws when I can't. But several people discouraged me from abandoning this blog, saying that it was a good way for people to see how I've grown and changed in my art. So I guess that's good as long as you, the reader, take into account that every old post on here is that - old. And that every new post is a step toward improvement.
Another reason why I let the ol' blog fall by the wayside is because of Instagram. It's so easy now to instantly share photos of my art and add a cool filter... But I can't post all the time or I'd probably lose all my followers.
Okay, so, now for some art. I know everyone's going back to school, so of course I had to do a scholarly piece. Now, I'm doing this on my phone so I don't know how to make the pictures go between the words...or any idea how to put t hem in order. I am not blog savvy. So just look at them.  P.S. feedback is greatly appreciated.
