Life in a Day

I just watched this amazing documentary on Netflix called Life in a Day. It documents the lives of a bunch of people all over the world and what they did on the day of April 24, 2010. I was about to stop it at the beginning because it didn't really draw me in but I'm glad I watched the whole thing through. It was so good! It was just really neat peeking into the lives of complete strangers and hearing what they love the most and what they fear the most. It's so individualistic but universal at the same time. It reveals how different all our lives truly are but how a lot of times we share the same fears and the same anguishes. While some get to drive a Lamborghini, others don't have enough food for the day. Even with this disparity that exists in our world what I am certain of, in my own experience especially, is that money does not bring people happiness. Does it help? Heck yes. I was talking to a dear friend about it this week. We agreed that happiness is internal, meaning that even if you have the crappiest job or even a pretty "crappy" life, you can still be happy. For example, there was a man and he lived in Dubai he said "I am a gardener and I am happy." He had to move to a different country to be able to work and send his children money but he was HAPPY! It was really touching.

 At the end of the documentary, a lady is recording herself at the end of her day. She mentions how she had to work that day (a Saturday) and how nothing special or out of the ordinary had happened but somehow she still felt like something special had happened. I think this is because she had come to the realization that we need to make the most out of each day. Even if nothing special happens and even if each day seems like a repetition of the previous day, it is important to find a meaning to all the things we do and a good way of doing this is by reflecting on our day as much as possible. Which is why passion is such an important thing. I've seen first-hand people who have normal jobs, who do mediocre things maybe, but they do it with a smile. There's nothing that inspires me the most. A smile can mean a million things. And passion can be expressed in many ways. I want to do what I love and love what I do in my life. Live every day like it's your first and your last! Life can be so amazing if we make it so. I highly recommend this documentary!!!

Every day is a new beginning :)

Monday..expect the unexpected.

My Monday was phenomenal yesterday. And I don't just go around throwing that word all the time. it started like any normal day--test for theories of persuasion, fixed my car, class...yada yada. But it ended great! It was a really fun night that I shall not forget =) In other news, I'm almost done with finals! Just finished Italian test and the last one is my French final this Thursday. Should be ok! What will I do with myself after school?!?! AHHH we'll just wait & see :)

View of Hollywood! Neat eh?

Stressing!

Things to do this week:

-presentation for wahoo's, invisible children presentation for comm class, film presentation for french class
-paper on film for french
-Italian test
-FINALS!!!!

UGH I'm gonna need lots of coffee!

In other news I dreamt last night! It was a bit weird...I dreamt that my friend had extra tickets for a sporting event, very expensive tickets and she invited me so I went but I saw people there that I didn't really want to see. And I was going up a lot of stairs...And the second part to my dream was way cool. I dreamt that I was driving this fancy sports car at night, really late at night. I was driving on a very loopy highway in the middle of the forest. It was damp, it might have been raining, and the moonlight was reflected on the road and trees and rocks. It was really beautiful. And there was a cop  behind me, I think he was trying to pull me over...I can't remember the rest. I liked it! I can't wait 'till this semester is over! I changed my major to communications studies (IT'S PERFECT!) and I can't wait 'till I start my classes for it. Should be a stressful but good week :)

Have I mentioned how much I love coffee? It's getting me through college! :D

Aimlessly...

This week has been super random!

Cool new random things that happened:

-ditching every class to go to exhibit in LA
-taking random pics in front of graffitied van
-going up and down stairs humming the tune of Rocky
-sitting at sbux with my friend trying to guess what people did for a living/studied (we got designer, teacher, bio major, and a bunch of jobless losers)
-driving back in traffic, going in and out of the freeway, and banging our heads/singing at the top of our lungs to AC/DC like there was no tomorrow
-dog following me everywhere while walking
-catching up with a really old friend during work
-showing up to school the day when there is no school, getting the news from my co-worker
-fighting the payroll department to get my paycheck today, succeeding
-driving to Westminster and Fountain Valley by myself just to explore...
-finally finding a sbux, sitting there for an hour watching netflix
-jogging, almost puking, and then having a nice conversation with a man walking his chubby chihuahua, Mini
-going to Ralph's and wasting half an hour trying to decide what to buy, got french bread & alouette cheese, having cute cashier joke about the crap I was getting & me blushing :o hahaha

I need to do stuff like this every day!!! I already do it sometimes but I really need more randomness in my life :) I might go to six flags tomorrow and then black Friday? maybe.

Oh I forgot,  proposing to the cheese: "Alouette, what would I do without you? Please marry me"

Leave it to me... :)

I write because I feel like it. Not because I actually ever want to write two blog posts in one day. So maybe I procrastinated this paper way too long. And maybe I don't really understand the prompt. I haven't finished the book and I haven't looked for scholarly sources. I haven't started a single thing about this paper and it's due tomorrow morning. I also know for a FACT that I will read this tomorrow or next week and think of myself as super cheesy but I really want to write. My day wasn't conventionally good but it was actually really great in more ways than one. Leave it to me to not write this essay at all but to instead choose a book irrelevant to the topic but completely AMAZING. I honestly can't put it down. So far in the 45 pages that I have read today, I have learned that everyone can come up with great ideas if we have the right attitude. For example, the most creative people are children. This is because they know no boundaries, no rules, no preconceived notions. They're naive and ignorant of what is around them. And they see the world for what it truly is. And they don't think about what they say and in their world, anything is possible. When they draw, they make the grass purple and the sun black. I'm not really advocating going around doing anything we want but I think we should never be completely serious. Serious is boring. I also learned that it's all about how we perceive ourselves. "They can do it all because they think they can" said Virgil. It's true. Why can't I be a lawyer and save the world??!? I CAN and I WILL if I want to.

Leave it to me to be sad for a couple hours and to think about the bad crap that happened. Maybe. But then coming home and being really happy and crying over the sad & the happy and not knowing quite sure which one is which. And being able to make the sad into the happy and fix EVERYTHING. And loving the way things are. Truly loving it.

I don't believe in fate. I don't simply because I feel it's a way for people to excuse the things that happen to them. And to make themselves feel better. "It didn't happen because it wasn't meant to happen." LIES. It's all lies. We construct our "fate". We choose our paths every day and we make important decisions. I know that I don't like making tough decisions because I fear the consequences. But see, I think too far ahead into the future. I should be more concerned for the NOW. Failure is a good thing. And an important part of growing up is taking that failure and turning it into success.

My life is like some crazy amazing crazy movie.

Thursday blah.

"The one sure way to find out if you're going fast enough is to crash."

Today I "crashed". I just wished this had happened yesterday, it wouldn't have been so bad. I have this long paper due tomorrow and more than ever I wish I had started about a week before. Regrets regrets regrets. 2012 please be here already!!!!!!

Burning down the house!

I had a really strange dream yesterday night. So strange that I don't even feel comfortable talking about it publicly even though almost no one reads this...I don't usually like complaining but my life sucks right now. This past week has probably been one of the suckiest of my life. And I've had pretty bad ones. I'm trying to stay positive but it's tough. I've been ignoring people again. Work is good though! My job is fairly easy which is nice. Right at this moment I'm sitting in my car waiting for my 10pm-1am shift to start. I was trying to fall asleep in my car but my back seat is not very comfortable + I'm afraid I'll wake up late.

I'm registering for next semester already. I'm trying to pack all my classes into 2 days and it's kinda working. 6 classes as opposed to 4 will be hard but I think I can do it! I'll just need way more coffee. Today in ad class we watched a documentary called "art & copy" about the ad world. In my opinion it was kinda cheesy but it made some really good general points. Taking risks in life is so important. It's all about the decisions we make and facing them without fear. Sometimes I like to think that I'm quite fearless and that I love challenges but when it comes to thinking about my future I'm still really hesitant. Watching the movie I realized that the ad business requires a lot of commitment, I just want to make sure my heart is in this. Watching the video though I sort of realized that this profession describes exactly what I want to do for a living. I want to be an artist and I'm ambitious enough to believe that I can change the world through this medium. I have other plans in life though and I don't want my career to be my primary focus. I hate growing up!

I've changed some of my radio stations in my car! I'm back to listening to classic rock and puck rock and plain old rock + some cheesy classical music. I'm so in the mood for change! I'm currently obsessed with the Talking Heads' "Burning Down the House". I don't know what it talks about (should probably look up the lyrics) but I love the beat haha. Plus I love this rainy weather, it makes me a little happy.

I feel like I had so much more to say but I guess not. This is it! I really hope I dream something awesome soon ^_^

Rainy days in the woods! Reminds me of my almost perfect childhood in good ol' Mexico =D

Don't upset the balance!

The bad thing about feeling so good/happy is that you always fear of losing it all. It's this uncomfortable feeling in the back of your head that tells you that now that you have a little bit of everything good in life, you have everything to lose. Enjoy it while it lasts? The truth is that the balance of life will always end up disrupted. It will always be like the cliche of a roller coaster--ups and downs. Enjoy the "ups" but also enjoy the "downs" because it's from these that we grow =D for the time being, I'm very happy. Let's see how long it lasts! haha

I've been dreamless for a while now...

Last Week!

My week was pretty amazing. Every single minute of it. I had a lot of awesome dreams, but can't really remember any of them. Ready for bigger things in life!

Trying to decide.

I've been neglecting a lot of stuff lately. I've been very passive about my life in the last couple months. It's not like me...but it's been a weird year. Today for probably the first time in my life I've made a list of pros and cons to help me organize the clutter in my head. It kinda helped. These last couple days I've felt very indifferent about my surroundings.  My friend told me something very serious yesterday. She almost psychoanalyzed me. She might be right. And then today my mom told me something really serious too. People have been telling me important things lately. Should I do something? Change something? I'm being very vague but in real life I wouldn't actually tell anyone this. That's why I like writing :)

I've also thought about things that I dislike about myself. Here are some:

-I think I have a superiority complex
-I can be really obnoxious
-I have trouble talking to people about real stuff
-I think way too much
-I take a book everywhere with me. I think it bothers people
-I'm constantly fighting people on the way they think

It's not important stuff I guess. My favorite teacher, who passed away recently, always used to say that it is important to be able to look into a mirror and be happy with what you see. I think about that a lot. I wonder if people do this. When I look in a mirror I know who I'm looking at and I'm happy about my actions and who I've become. But I can also see who I am deep down inside. I've done some things in my past that don't necessary reflect who I am now. I also know that I have really "bad" tendencies or I guess I'm by nature a pretty mean person. But at least I try. And in the back of my head I always fear becoming like my father. My teacher was a great man, I miss him. People disappear. Anyway, even with all the seriousness in my life right now, the moment of the week that probably bothered me the most was the fact that a couple days ago, I accidently skipped an awesome song on Pandora instead of putting up the volume. Pathetic! haha. Oh and when my sister told me that I was both the smartest and the dumbest person she's ever known. The highlight of my week was probably...having a good day with my mom today. And my friend said something in a funny way yesterday that kinda made me happy. But I forgot what it was :P

Trees are great.

Dream time!

Friday night I had a creepy/scary dream... Saturday night I had an awesome dream! I was in some sort of small town, I think it was in New Orleans because everything was so frenchy. The village was tiny and overall picturesque. The strait streets were packed with crazy-looking characters...I think there was a mime on a unicycle blowing bubbles. And I was just walking along, staring at everyone as I went. As I reached the outskirts of the town, I could see that the town was in the middle of two huge mountains overlooking the ocean. It was like an island. I just stood over the bridge staring at the orange sun descending into the waters. It was amazing! I want to dream that again. Definitely compensated for the creepy dream the night before. 'Tis it :D

Wished I lived here.

In other news today was pretty chill. Went to ALL my classes! haha no more ditching...and then we had to go to Irvine to my professor's ad agency to present our creative briefs for the Wahoo's campaign! It was a bit of an improvisation for me but I came up with some ideas (right before presenting). It was thrilling. I'm thinking that if advertising doesn't work out, I can always do marketing. Good monday! This week should be great :)

Pushing the boulder uphill

The story of Sisyphus has always intringued me. I know it's because I find it so similar to actual life. It's all just pushing the boulder uphill, watching it roll back down, and then pushing it up again. Almost everything in life is pure vanity. It's all really meaningless. We create these things, these ideas, just to make us feel like we're actually doing something worthwhile. It's all full of emptiness. It's so hard to look around and watch t.v. or be in class listening to some bs or checking my email or shopping without thinking about how stupid it is to do this stuff. It's kind of when you're giving a speech and you use a bunch of filler words ("um", "like") to fill in the gaps. We use every day trivialities as fillers to give meaning to life. I guess it's only when you come out of the cave and perceive the world as it truly is (even if the sun blinds you at first), that you can find a deeper meaning, or at least your own purpose. It's so hard to know things for sure sometimes. I'm not a skeptic but recently I've realized that I question stuff a lot. It's not a bad thing I guess. Like, how can I know the difference between being happy and sad? It sounds crazy I know, but it's weird that every time I feel at my zenith of glorious bliss, I always start listening to depressing music...It's kind of like being happy allows me to appreciate being sad or maybe I don't like the feeling of being happy so I drown it out...Gosh I must sound insane. Please stop reading this. Sisyphus sounds like such a patient being. But it's only a myth.

you just never know.

Who knew that my friday could be pretty awesome after having lost my car keys last night?!?
Triple A had to tow my car from orange to anaheim this morning (which was totally cool). Towing guy was super nice! He gave me his number & told me to call him so he could teach me how to drive a tow truck (prrrrobably won't do it ha). Called my uncle & he got me a discount to have my car key remade. It was going to cost me over $200 and I only had to pay $85. Got free lunch, survived going uphill on my stick-shift, got the maximum cash-back policy waived for me at the grocery store, stopped traffic on Anaheim Blvd. for a few minutes to back up my car attached to the tow truck, and random homeless lady told me I was really pretty (after I told her I didn't have any money) :D hahaha yikes someone out there still has my car keys though. My life is never dull :p I don't know how to feel about that...

It's either highs or lows isn't it?

car keys....where are you?!?! Oh cursed day.

Gérard Depardieu....pourquoi?!?!

I need to stop procrastinating! This french class will be the death of me. Watching Grapes of Wrath for my french homework due...tomorrow. Yes I had a whole week, but I didn't refine & perfect my academic stratagem in HS to leave it all behind in college. So it's an all-nighter for me tonight. No dreaming...of course. Week is almost over!!!

He was an impostor! I totally believed him too! Good movie.

trippy dream

I dreamt last night! And I remember it very vividly. This is what went down:

-I was jogging through some kind of national park.
-passed by a group of elementary kids who were in some sort of field trip
THIS IS WHERE IT GETS TRIPPY!!!!
-ahead of me is this lady who has what on a leash? a dog? NOPE. a white tiger.
-I observe that she is having a lot of trouble controlling the tiger. She wraps the leash around her hand repeatedly but I get a feeling that the tiger will soon break its leash sooo....
-I run to the nearest tree and climb it.
-the tiger gets off the leash and races to the kids....

It's a tragic dream. I've been thinking about it the whole day because I'm certain it means something. Or maybe I'm just trying to give it a meaning. I guess I felt bad for climbing up the tree without warning anybody about the tiger. Tripped me out. Hope it doesn't turn into a recurring dream :/

Back to school day

I'm writing this as I sit at the piazza waiting for my 9:00 am (theories of persuasion) class to start. The weekend was pretty awesome & I'm happy I'm back! I got a new car & I think I'll start driving it as soon as I get it insured today. It's stick shift but I think I'll be ok. Had a dream last night but I can't really remember it anymore. Should be a good or at least decent day :D

Last week!!!

Great week! Had lots of amazing food, saw lots of good friends :) I had a dream last night & remember it!
-A friend had to tell me something important (won't say who ) and we made plans to meet up somewhere and he never showed up.
Hmmm. My subconscious freaks me out.
School starts next week. I can't wait. Or maybe I can :) I love summer too much!
DISNEYLAND TOMORROW!

oohhh yeeeeaaauuh!

I slept last night! The whole night through! And I dreamt but I won't write about it cause it's a bit personal (nothing gross or weird haha).

I'm really happy right now. Everything is just perfect :)

This weekend: my friend's going away party thing & then beach bonfire! yay :D And school starts in like, 2 weeks! Hooray.

Good way to start the week.

Dland was FUN! I'm really happy I went :)

I still can't sleep. It's really testing my patience. Haven't been dreaming either...obviously...What bothers me though is that even though I haven't had a good night's sleep for weeks, I still have TONS of energy during the daytime!! GESH. Sometimes I get annoyed by myself, how sad is that?!?! haha

I went jogging today! yay. It feels so good but it's tough running after about a week of utter lethargy :P bleh. Excited for this week for no apparent reason. Hooray.

Sulking in self-pity. Sweet.

Been doing a lot of nothing again. Haven't jogged this ENTIRE week. I'd like to blame the starving coyotes that I see way too often out on the trails & that the local news have been warning us about...but in reality it's just because I'm a lazy butt. I've thought about escaping a coyote attack if it ever occurs-I'd pretty much just push my friends aside & climb a tree. Yes, it would work ;D that's why they call it the buddy system. Anyhow, umm school starts pretty soon! Yay. I still have like 3 more books to buy. I'm always so hesitant to buy books though cause half the time I never even use them! And some professors only make you buy the books they supposedly wrote to make their wallets even fatter. No fair. I'm so excited about italian class! Woooo :D

Definitely not how I wanna die.

I have a hawaiian-themed party to go to tomorrow. It's either that or the circus. And I'm a bit paranoid about the circus. I'm scared an elephant will attack me. No kidding, it's totally possible too seeing how...it's me and stuff. And those things bore the living crap out of me anyway. There's always some annoying brat sitting next to you with their sticky cotton-candied extremities. Plus, these themed parties always allow for me to mismatch and wear the craziest crap in my closet and the ridiculous 15 dollar shiny eyeliner I bought from mac :/ sheesh.

Again, not how I wanna go. Although it'd make a great story...

I might go to Dland on monday. yay.

Long nights, long days. Not complaining.

last couple days I've had a lot of trouble sleeping! I lie awake at night staring at the ceiling & thinking how the shadows in my room look like so many crazy things. I've tried a lot of things including listening to my ipod to cradle me, counting sheep (it works sometimes), reading, and drinking minimal amounts of liquor (really, minimal). But in the past 3 days I was only able to sleep around 4 hours last night. I think it's really affecting my mental health. Another thing that's affecting my sanity would be the book I'm currently reading titled The Cauldron of Blood: The Matamoros Cult Killings. It talks about this devil-worshipping guy who totally tortured people & took their hearts and drank their blood. Yikes. I know, it's a bit creepy for me to be reading this (my friends agreed), but I got it from my cousin's bookshelf that is filled with stuff like this. My sanity probably went out the window a while back either way.

Anyway, today was a great day! Kinda. I woke up at 6 and went jogging with 4 of my friends. We jogged a mile and then went to Jamba Juice! and we sorta loitered around after that. We had this great idea for a youtube vid...haha it's really freaking weird when you think about it but it probably won't happen anyway. Then I went to a collision center, got another estimate for my truck & the other guy's insurance is paying for it all! As it should. I'm really craving iced coffee right now! Hooray for my nice time off school & work.

I NEED one of these right about now.

And in other news, I got my license yesterday. Finally. :)

my life. continued.

It's sunday, I'm  bored & I feel like writing. Weekend was great. I feel weird though cause I haven't jogged for 4 days! I've been getting some knee pains, probably cause we've been doing a mile non-stop now. But we'll be back on track tomorrow! Went to a circus-theme party on saturday with a bunch of people I don't know. Most of them were my cousin's husband's family. Anyway, funny story: there's this good looking guy at the party & he randomly introduces himself to me & some time later he goes into one of the bathrooms & I was inside! LOL I guess I need to lock doors more often. I was only putting on sunscreen but it was still pretty awkward...of course we didn't talk after that muahahaha

In other news, I've been dealing with the car accident pretty well. We went to get an estimate & it will cost around $2,800 or more. Yikes. Should be a good couple of weeks! :D


LA FIN!

I love me some Seurat:) YEEEAAAUHHH!

Someone out there seriously hates me.

AH MAN. I just wrote this SUPER long post & blogspot made an error or something. My life sucks right now. I need to sleep it off? maybe? whatevers. Clay, this post is for you man.

Just to feel better about yourself. Seriously. No, karma isn't out to get you.

p.s.: I know this says "practice random kindness" but nah, you don't have to. See, like I always try to be nice to people. I help the old man walk to his old people house, and carry his things for him, I always ask how someone is, I wait for my friends to do things, I buy candy for kids, I give advice to my friends, I compliment people blah blah blah. And you know what happens to me?!?! Some douche rams into my truck, some douche pretends to be me and tells my friend that I'm expecting twins, and I go to this party thing and it turns out that the guy I wanted to talk to passes out or something and the ambulance & firefighters come to get him, before he even comes inside!!! WTH?! It's just this weekend right? This won't go on or anything? Lord, I hope not.

Oh, but on the bright side, I got some really cute shoes on thursday! yay :) I think I'll wear them tomorrow.

we wouldn't have enough space in the freezer dude.

last night's dream:

-Liz & I go to the mall, we come out & she pulls out of the parking lot in a hippie van and hits my truck along with another 2 cars, I ask for her insurance information.
-Ruth & I go buy ice cream; there's a deal on it, buy 10 gallons for $10. Ruth asks me if we should get that much, and i tell her "we wouldn't have enough space in the freezer dude."

Freaky stuff.



Hippie van!



Dream blog!

Ok so I decided to start writing about my dreams on my blog. Last night I had the coolest dream ever!!! I dreamt that I was in some foreign country and I was some sort of spy or special agent and I was trying to find the bad guys so I could shoot them but the bad guys were after me as well so I was running all over the place with my handgun and jumping off buildings and pushing people out of my way and stuff. Kind of like in the Matrix! and at some point I was fighting crocodiles. And I'm pretty sure I beat the bad guys cause I didn't die. I don't really know why I dreamt that, I don't think it means anything but I definitely enjoyed it :D that's it.

So it was kinda like this except I looked more like wonder woman.

"I saved Latin. What did you ever do?"

I love Spring Break, don't get me wrong, but what is wrong with my school?!? They scheduled spring break in the most random time! Most of my friends already had spring break which means that I get to stay home and do NOTHING. Well, not nothing. In fact, I've been doing lots. Mostly cooking, watching movies, and going on joy rides but nevertheless. Ok here is the list of movies I've seen so far during these couple of days:

1.) Withnail & I- Hilarious. But a little hard to understand with their accents and all.

2.) Rushmore-Wes Anderson is a genius, I just loved it!!! EVERYONE needs to see this film.

3.) Stranger than Fiction- Blew my mind but not that great.

4.) Pulp Fiction- Everyone always talks to me about this movie! Finally saw it, and you know what? WOW.

5.) Amelie- Finally saw it; it was epic. NO! magical, it was magical.

Ew, I need a life. Can't wait for SUMMER! ;D

Busy busy busy Thursday. Maybe not so much.

Had my second calculus test today which means that I had to stay up last night & teach myself math :/ but you know what? It's amazing what 2 cups of coffee last night + one grande caffe misto this morning will do! I'm still up!! :) & now my day doesn't seem so busy; looking forward to FRIDAY.

Cyanotype photo by Ruth Castaneda :)



These pics are way cooler in person.



My sister is really into black & white photography; she took this picture of me.

Because we'd all like to be writers.

Flash Fiction? Maybe. I was experimenting with the letter format for short stories.

Dear Blank,


    The other day, while I ate a bagel, I thought of you. I remembered how you had told me once to always reflect on the hole in the center and contemplate on the fact that if that hole was filled in, I would be so much happier knowing that my dollar was well-spent and at the same time disappointed at the lack of spewing melting butter rushing through the non-existent hole. And so I did. And you know what? I realized that I would be neither happy nor disappointed because I probably wouldn’t even eat it in the first place--it’s true! But this thought followed me throughout the day and by the time I got off work, I was so overwhelmed with “ifs” and “buts” that I decided to go back to the bakery and demand a bagel with no hole. Needless to say, everyone that crowded the establishment that day stared at me as I said this. It might have been because of the bizarre nature of my request or the simple fact that I shouted this as I leaped through the door--either way I walked out of there without a hole-less bagel but the baker, as he wiped his buttery hands on his apron, did promise me that he’d have a special hole-less bagel for me the next morning. Today was the next morning. I went to the bakery anxiously, and you know what? It looked nothing like a bagel! When I got to the center I realized it was undercooked, a terrible excuse of a bagel. After googling “properties of a bagel” I found out that a good bagel needed a hole (My boss reprimanded me for this; I  guess I should stop googling stuff at work), for the baking to be even! Anyway, I’d just like to end this letter by telling you that your ideas are asinine.


Yours Truly,


Sharon.

A bagel is an important part of a good breakfast

Art is Life.

Avocadoes are magical! I love them!

Simple Sketching of an apple :)



disk thrower



Boat

I love the balloons, it took me a long time to get the shading right.

My first inking project, it was quite difficult.



I usually don't draw because my proportions don't seem right. Sketching is more my thing :)




First painting assignment



I sketch a lot of houses.

More inking; I love how this one turned out.

I've improved my shading techniques much more since I finished this one.
