Charcoal and chalk on paper

Yeah, I lost it, so now I’ll just dump all these doodles and pictures here because I don’t even remember what I had said in the original post. Hi to new followers! Thank you for following, and I think I should probably let you know that I don’t always do reviews, or always do art, or always write. It’s just a bit of this and that whenever I feel like it. I apologize in advance for any weirdness.

Okay, so the pieces with chalk and charcoal were done for this art class I’m taking for a summer credit (because I switched out of science 1.5 years into it, and now I’m taking English and Cultural Studies and I’m a little behind on credits). The ones done in pen/brush pen are done at home in my own sketchbook, because I’m lazy and I don’t want to use a pencil and eraser.

Unfinished doodle of dress. Why do I draw with pens? I don’t know.

Ruined it. Why do I draw with pen? I don’t know.

I needed something to draw, so why not Riza?

And some flowers I saw on the table, but then I added more. It didn’t really look like this. I never draw things exactly as I see them.

Ooh, and this beautiful duke, Rufus. (From Pandora Hearts.) I keep drawing him everywhere, he’s just so pretty.

Bad pictures, I’m so sorry. But Abstract stuff for class.

I take crappy pictures, I know. More abstract stuff. She wanted us to ~move~ our arms when drawing.

This is the only pencil drawing, and it isn’t finished but that’s because I kind of gave up. It was something from a tree… but I don’t really know what. This was for the sketchbook for class. That’s why no pen, hehe.

Our prof told us not to make them very representational, but I… added leaves and I shouldn’t have. Whoops.

My prof liked this one best. I think it’s meh.

This one is my favourite.

I think I actually screwed up the eye, but whatever.

Oh, this one is my favourite. I really, really like this one and I don’t care what you say.

Aah, this. So my little sister kept asking me how I do those swirlies and flowers. I told her to bring her sketchbook and start with a flower in one of the corners. Then I just added more and let her do leaves and thorns and butterflies. She took it and colored it, but I haven’t seen it yet.

Toph! Because I love Toph. I know, she looks… older here and there’s something wrong about her but… well, I was just sketching with a brush pen, which means mistakes everywhere. Since I’m not that great, anyway.

Clouds! Done on Photoshop. I actually really, really love using colors.

Ah, and I read A Monster Calls, by Patrick Ness, yesterday! It was great. I’ll be posting a review soon, and I took pictures of the book because it is absolutely GORGEOUS. Like really, guys, it’s just so beautiful.

What else… hmm… oh! I got this little tiny notebook because I wanted to make notes about plot and characters — for the series I’m working on. It’s so tiny though, I don’t think it’s really any use. But look:

Yes, I got it just because I thought it was pretty. Ugh…

This was on the bus. Attempt at drawing a little map in a tiny little notebook. It’s not going to turn out nice-looking.

This one isn’t bad though, but I think it may have been because the bus had stopped at the college. Yes… I do remember looking up and thinking, why aren’t we moving?

I think that’s it. I could talk about music and soundtracks, but this is pretty long. Oh hey, I might start doing chapter-by-chapter posts of books I’m reading. I know I was doing Way of Kings, and I want to go back to that. Let’s hope I get the chance sometime soon.

“Red, blue and yellow. Primary colours combined into different shades and different ‘identities’. Colourful, happy, sad, wild, crowded, beautiful… Colours give expression.

Black and white. Two shades categorized as ‘other’. Decides shadow and light. Colourless, still, old, melancholy, different, desolate, beauty in its own way.. Sometimes reverting to the world of two ‘colours’ is the right way, sometimes.. Sometimes colourless deliver the meaning just right.”

-Okay, I don’t know how it turned more into black and white while the picture itself is, well, colourful. But I like it, so whatever. Anyway, I wanted to post this now just because I didn’t want to wait and ’cause I can. And I like close-ups.

When I took this picture -or actually before- I just looked into that box and thought ‘Oh, I bet that actually will look nice in a photo’. So, ya. And the blacks and white are (mostly) charcoal. I got them from my grandmother since she doesn’t really use them anymore. So, yep, okay, I’ll stop babbling. Thanks

B.o.S. (kind of) over ‘n out!!

Quick babble: When I made my username I did not realize if I only used the first alphabets it would turn into ‘bos’. 8DP
