Night Time

This is sort of like a Part 2 of a previous photoshoot I had a year ago. Same lights, slightly different setting.
 I took and edited all the pictures myself. It's been such a long while since i last took proper pictures... Here's just some of my favourite:

Goat Skull: Close up + detail

Hello there!
So this weekend I decided to draw my skull from upside down for my portfolio with my graphite pencils.
It took me around 20 hours, not kidding you. I had barely any sleep and I genuinely started hallucinating, haha. But I regret nothing. It turned out pretty good so I'm happy.
I'll post better quality pictures tomorrow or something. I don't have a good flash in my camera + the battery is dead so tomorrow I'll publish the good full size pictures :)
Here are just some of the ones I took today with my phone and webcam:


Here's me while drawing. It was around my 17th hour or something. I was wrecked but at this point I stopped seeing things (this sounds so weird, i know, but I genuinely saw mice in my kitchen and flickering lights. And yes, I am perfectly fine. I was just sick and besides I didn't sleep for a long long time so don't try to convince me i need help, haha)



Aaaaaaand here's the final piece. Pheeeewww, I am so glad i finished this. This weekend was genuienly one of the most productive weekends I had in the last few weeks.

Orchid- portfolio

Here's one of the few orchids I made for my portfolio.
Conte on a2 sugar paper.

The development of my art in 2 years

I was looking at stuff on my blog and i am not gonna lie. I am very proud of myself. I really improved and just look at me now, I'm currently preparing to go to art college. If you told the 14 year old me that I'm gonna be making a portfolio, I'd be pretty stunned. I always loved art, it's been a huge part of me. I draw for as long as I can remember and I will probably draw until the last minute of my life (whoa, got pretty dramatic there haha. But it is true in all fairness). I obviously have those days when i can't just put my thoughts onto paper but everyone has that. And I am insecure about everything and I always conteplate whether I'm good enough to even make a portfolio. But then i just get rid of all the negative thoughts and i tell myself "Shut up! It doesn't matter if you're good or not. If you love art well then bloody make art" and that is what I am doing.

(I drew the first picture when i was 14 and the second a few months ago-16)
