Much Ado about Mixed Media
Mixed media is anything that doesn't use a pure art medium. So, if you have a drawing or a painting that has more than one type of thing, it technically falls on mixed media. This brings me to this drawing over here. I mix pens, markers and coloring pencils together to get this final product. The pens I used was an ultra-fine point Prismacolor pen. The colored lines were made with Steadler markers. The skin was drawn with lyra pencils, and the rest was just plain old Derwent. So, technically there is not only mixed medias, but mixed brands as...
Much Ado About Graphite
This is one of the last high quality pencil drawings I ever bothered to make. I stopped making pencil drawings as soon as I got to University. I was working on making my first graphic novel. As such, I did not have time to spend on leisure drawings. The drawing features my two favorite Yugioh cards. It took me like a two months to complete the drawing. You can see all the fancy details and the like. One can easily say that I was a bit of a fan. One has to like something a lot to pour a lot...
Much Ado About Acrylics
For the last couple of years, I had not bothered to make a single painting. I was mostly doing drawings and line arts. If I remember correctly, my last work of this kind was made in high school, with tempera. Three years ago, I asked my brother to buy me an entire painting kit, with watercolors, acrylics and oil. Anyhow, through this set, I started to play around with paints. As of now, I have only used the acrylics. This is one of the results of my ventures. I was making a front cover for my poetry book. The book...
Ruminations on Tempera
While working on my website, I noticed a couple of things while uploading from specific brands. To keep organized, I go by brands, instead of by types. Once I get everything from a specific brand, I move onto the next one. What I noticed is that none of the art companies and brands bother to make tempera. Tempera is great, but only Crayola bothers to manufacture it. Ever since Crayola sank its teeth into Tempera, this paint has been relegated to the underwhelming title of Kid's Toys. In the old days, Tempera was respected and produced, but now... Well, you...
Lobby of the Ambar Green
The photo features the lobby of the Ambar green. I am drawing a bit of a blank. Man, I am currently being a bit distracted by a new package that I got. I decided to do the paints with glitter. I am going to mix the varnish with the glitter I just ordered. Man, I am really drawing a blank here. Frankly, I am in a bit of a painting kind of mood. However, I cannot bring myself to neglect the website. It still needs plenty of work, and I am the only fellow who can manage it. It is...
