Monochrome dome

Today was interesting. I signed up for a free painting and color course that lasts today throughout the whole weekend. Today we were working monochrome, that is, one colour, and was pretty fun. We made our own pastels and acrylics using pigments and oats and glue! :D It was really awesome!

Portfolio

Well, heres the majority of my portfolio that I submitted. Hope it impresses them enough :)

Its my birthday, and I can smile if I want to!

Today was a GREAT day! I was expecting the worst birthday of my life, since I'm away from my family. Granted, that's how I imagined it to be this morning, when no one walked into my room and sang happy birthday. I was considering just sleeping through the whole morning, since I had the assumption that we wouldn't be in class until 12 today, and was thinking that this swimming morning at the pubic pool might be too cumbersome.

I'm glad my mother called me this morning and got me out of my bed, because I had one of the best birthdays EVER :D

The morning dance was the usual stuff, but bearable, though once I got to pool with the others, I knew it would be fun. Its been a long time since I was in a pool like this. The chlorine was refreshing to my nose, and to be fully immersed in water was heavenly. It felt like one of my pool birthday parties back in Chile.

After that joyous swim with my friends, we went to this Italian restaurant where they had an all you can eat buffet. It was lovely as well, trying out alot of food and condiments with my plate and just having a nice time chatting with everyone.

Then after that I went home to bake a cake, which after the day became three cakes, since I noticed more people would want to eat. Brought them to the chillax room and we all had cake. Marie Antoinette would be proud!

After the cake, they told me to open this envelope. In it was a card congratulating me and another sheet of paper with a map! It was a scavenger hunt! I followed all the lead, until I had all the sheets, and was told to flip them over. There were letters on them! I put them together and got MARVEL BOY. They had drawn the character on the white board, and he was pointing somewhere, underneath the podium, and underneath there were two movies :D Zoolander and The Italian Job. I was pleasantly surprised and almost wanted to cry, because it was so sweet of everyone here. I hope I can make their birthdays just as nice :)

Well, gotta go soon, theres TAW Talk at school, and don't want to miss it :D Seeyou!

Art Attack!

Well, its been a while since my last update, but that is simply because I have been ever so busy with my portfolio for the Animation course here. Its due on the 15th, and I'm working hard on it for some time now.

So I thought I'd show you all the fruits of my labor :)

Update

Heres a little update. Dinner today was made by Manno, one of the greeks, who made a pasta with tuna fish sauce and lintel sallad. I'm sure Lotta will be pleased by the sound of that dinner ^^

Been working hard in class, actually seem to have a pretty good long study in the works, hope it can end well and use it for my portfolio.

And heres a little picture update, some funny cartoons with voluptuous girls ^^ Inspired after having read a blog post about a recently deceased Playboy artist whose work was shown on the post.

Late post!

Yes, pardon me, didn't update Friday or Saturday. Simply didn't get around to doing it...

However, I'll rectify that immediately!

Friday was a pretty calm day, where we got to eat cakes and watc ha slide show where Artem demonstrated his art as a whole, alot of his paintings he made in his youth as well as more recent work. It was pretty interesting to see one's master in such a light since so far all we get is his Godlike wisdom in drawing. Then seeing what he does when he's not helping us made him more human in my eyes.

After that I took it easy, working on my portfolio after a siesta. Made some funny drawings, I wonder if I should keep them?

Saturday was pretty much wasted, drew some superheros at one point, but other than that it was pretty much just sleep, eat, sleep, play.

And today I'm working on my self portrait that we have for homework. Looking kind of good right now, lets see how it turns out in the end.

Down here we have the two drawings that showed noticable improvement from before.

Another dinner and a movie

Today I had my weekly dinner with Anne, and she and her boyfriend had made home made pizzas for us, one with chicken, another with ham. It was actually quite delicious, not to say that I expected less, but still, took me aback with the glorious taste. Then while we ate we watched some cartoons online on their TV, watching some old Looney Toons and stop motion films, before watching Mary and Max. Great movie! So depressing, yet so funny.

Heres the trailer for it, I definitely recommend it!
