...

     Well this blog is gonna suck for me. I have learned that stippling takes too much time in pen and ink. That's more for artists who have talent, and the time to do that sort of thing, but I'll finish it. I feel I have improved my hand drawings in many ways. I feel as if they have themselves evolved onto the paper, and they never stop surprising me. I know my stippling is going along okay. Just the time factor that is the pain.
     I have been thinking of other hand ideas. I wanna do the stippling series, but only one will be in pen and ink. My next one will be in acrylic, and the bones of the hands will be in basic shapes. Something else that I've learned that I've been getting inspired from movies, and a book I'm currently reading.
     I know I still need to improve on stippling, and maybe do hands in a different form, or make them something different then just their basic skeletal anatomy. I feel my new hand piece of fire transforming into a hand will be somewhat of a challenge, but at least it's something new. I just don't have a lot of inspiration anymore to do art, or anything for that matter.
     I don't see myself in 3 years. I don't wanna look forward to the future. I wanna hope to get through the next 2 hours cause I never know where I'm gonna be, or what I'm gonna do. The only thing that is for certain in my life right now is that I'll get to sleep at some point. The most important thing I've learned this school year is to always look for something new.
     I know one thing I got out of this class.......I have no idea what my life is gonna be like after I'm done with high school, and life will have a wide open gap hopefully with new opportunities.

Let my blog fly free...

     I have been stippling so much, and it's driving me crazy!!! Ugh...I have been looking for new ideas to do some other hands as well. I am gonna do a hand piece made out of objects found from nature, but it will not be done in stippling that's for shizzle. I might do a stippling series in a variety of mediums, and I'm not sure if I'll stick to the skeletal structure of a hand though. I have grown quite fond of the bones of the hand. It is soothing to me in a way.
     I am happy about my progress so far on my stippling piece, but I just don't feel like it's good enough for my portfolio. I can't stand doing the dots with all their tones. It just makes me so angry, but I will finish it. I am just going to take a short break from it so I can get my other pieces started. The objects found from nature project I think I will get started with. As well as another hand. I think my 3rd project for the month I will do stippling of the skeletal structure of the hand except in a different medium. Get this hand series started.
     I have been looking at hands everywhere I look at Cassie McCasky's hands whenever I'm with her, and I look at how a ring sits on her thumb, or how it moves she needs it to. I have also looked at other hands as well. Hands that hold cigarettes, and even some holding illegal paraphernalia. I feel if I painted, drew, or made a hand holding a beer bottle, or an antique bong. It's just about how the hand holds the object. Not the object the hand is holding. I even do observe my hand as it occasionally smacks Nena's leg during study hall, and lunch.
     I look at hands from all angles, and see where the index finger follows back, and hits the metacarpal. I love looking at hands. It's not till you study something closely, and then know all the things it's capable of. I knew we used our hands for lots of things, but some of the things we do with our hands is just so brutal, yet beautiful. Our hands are connected to our minds in a way. They channel our thoughts, feelings, processes, and knowledge. Aren't hands just so cool?!
