ok. it has been a rather exhausting week trying to chiong out my work. my color wheel turned out better than i expected and though my design was seriously rather sucky in the sense that it wasn't as fanciful as the other people (how would i know...the professor showed her design which was mainly triangles so i just did some basic shapes too!). Was quite depressed over it at first cos i saw everyone else's and i felt like an idiot in art school :( thankfully, since i designed it to fit teh requirements such that the colors overlap one another so it's easy to compare middle mixtures, my prof was pretty pleased with the simplistic design and she said it was a good design *surprise surprise* and though i thought some of my colors were pretty shit surprisingly it was fine 0.0 which is pretty awesome cos if i need to re-make more primary/secondary/tertiary colors i think i will poke my eyes and make them color blind so i get exempted from mixing colors. this is so dumb. why can't we just buy them from the tubes. why must we buy other hues of the colors and mix them together to get the most saturated forms???? such a waste of time and great frustration. 

my full value thumbnail compositions turned out pr

etty well too, despite risky experimentations with various mediums. I realised with great joy and delight the wonders that markers on vellum can do. YOU CAN LAYER!!! amazing yea??? like once the marker dries, you can put on another layer and u get to darken it. haha. felt so wonderful and professional using those mediums

, i

ncluding the brush markers and MAGICAL niji water brush. the handle is like a container 

for water and like it wets the brush tip automatically so u don't have to carry a cup of water around and u can easily use it for watercolor pencils, and and and.....it self washes so u just need ONE brush to do all the work and all its colors. HOW FUNKY IS THAT!?!??!?! 

my charcoal drawing is turning out pretty charming

ly nice but of course, this is so becos i have yet to work on the lil buddha statue so i have is basic cones and pipework, all of which i have been well trained during the previous quarter. 

oh yes. just to show you what my room now looks like

 since the new roommate has arrived and the room furnit

ure has been rearranged and how terribly neat my roommates are. COMPARE AND CONTRAST LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!

GLORY'S

V.S. THE ROOMMATES

so you see, for those who thought i am not neat and that i need a maid. YOU ARE WRONG. haha. apparently i'm so used to having my things neaten up by a maid that even if i'm lazily messy i will tidy up occasionally cos i can't take it!
