how's my day?? here's how...

apart from waking and packing my stuff for home and then going for sushi lunch with my lunchie maggie.... majority of my day flew past without me knowing doing this: 

PAINTING for my 2d finals. 

i am UTTERLY EXHAUSTED. i've been working CONTINUOUSLY on a painting since 1pm and its almost 11pm and i'm just done. i still have to do touch ups though, but i am UTTERLY exhausted. i was seriously losing my senses. like after 91288423495 hrs of work (abit of hyperbole there) i couldn't see the people coming in through the door. i felt faint while painting the little itsy bitty details. omg... and it doesn't help that i am nursing a cold, blocked and runny nose, sneezing, congestion, sore throat and cough. it made painting my 2d finals really a PAINting. 

there is of course, no one to blame for the suffering that i am in because I played myself in it. yes. i am stupid and retarded. becos...EVERYONE ELSE HAS SIMPLE DESIGNS BUT ME BEING OH SO DETAILED HAVE GONE HAPPILY CRAZY DETAILED AND I HAVE DIED PAINTING THIS THING. omg...nonetheless..i reckon the pain has been worthy. i never felt happy/pleased about a painting before. in the past i seriously would have denied any connections with my paintings and throw them aside before anyone can see it and identify it as mine. but this...oh yes this i am proud to say it's mine. i will hang it up everywhere and sign my name and declare it is mine. yes yes :)

all that using 2 split complimentary hues (yellow-orange and violet (yes. we dun call purple purple)) in various tones, tints and shades. haha i bet you don't know the difference. there is my dear friend. VERY BIG DIFFERENCES that we art students ought to know. in fact...we are going to have a test on color. doesnt it sound super trivial and lame???

and this is also all thanks to my handy dandy size 2 and size 0 brush for fine details and of course, my 1/4" flat brush and my angled brush, excellent for doing straight and curved edges :) but of course...they cost a bomb too. bloody 7 bucks for ONE stupid brush. BLOODY HELL. MADE OF WHAT. HAIR OF AN ANGEL AH. GANASAI. NO WONDER ARTISTS STARVE..GRRRR...o_o

anyhow..my masterpiece for drawing finals. am uber proud of this one too. though after seeing it on picture i once again see things to be changed/edited. i am amazed at my talents. oh my gloria. you are talented. hahaha.

good Lord...i am exhausted..REST REST. another painting to do for tmr. oh lord. give me the strength. (and money to afford more paint and brushes)
