Marina, excuses and updates.

Hello!
My blog has been so dead for the past few weeks.. I feel awful about it to be honest.
I promised to update my blog about my portfolio and I never did. It's unacceptable really.
So finally, let me just say a few words about Le Portoflio.

My interview was on the 21st of March and a week later I got my letter back.
I got 540 points out of 600 so I'm pretty darn happy about it.
And as much as I complained about the lack of free time and how portfolio is killing me, I miss doing it very much. I'd honestly rather spend time doodling than studying boring notes for my leaving cert.
But then again just a month of studying left and then.... SUMMER.
I sincerely hope my exams go well and I'll be gong to Art college in September.
The idea of doing something I truly love every day is actually amazing and that's what keeps me motivated right now.
I shall post some of my art as soon as I get everything sorted and all.

My art practicles are over now and I cannot tell how relieved I am.
I was preparing for this for the past 5 years and it's quite bizarre that it's over already.
I was satisfied with most of the stuff I did although my life sketching did not go the way i wanted it to.
But I'm staying optimistic.
Here's some practice stuff I did for the project.
For the poster I used graphite, polychromos, watercolours, markers and my Rimmel blush for the cheeks and few other places on her face. The poster I did on the day was better I think. This is just a quick practice I did at home. The original one had more writing on it and I changed the font and all that. It was more detailed. I'll get the project back in August i believe so I'll probably post it here too.




And then since I got my polychromos I doodled a little bit to try them out. They are so amazing I can't even verbalise my feeling towards them.
Here's a thing I drew of Marina and The Diamonds but it's unfinished because:
a) I have no time
b) i don't like it
I mean, the colouring is pretty good, i like the colours. But the image itself isn't very good. This is probably one of the weakest drawing I ever produced but oh well. We learn on our mistakes :)
