Art, Art, Art, and MORE… art

Please note that all this I wrote in a British accent. ☕️
Also, click the title.

*sigh* You’re probably tired of this.

“Too much art, dear,” you say. But, my, are you in for a treat because there can NEVER be too much AHT!

“Preach, child!”

My big-brained self has conjured up the probability that some of you may be new here. 🧐 (OHR you did NOT check out my previous art posts. 🤨 What is one to do?!)

See them first so you may delight in my improvement! (That doesn’t sound too proud, does it? 😬)

‘Tis the posts ⤵️

• Art Dump (THE FIRST)
• Art Dump (THE SECOND)
• What’s Going On? (Because truly, when do we really know what we’re dealing with? 🧐)

ENOUGH TALK! Let’s art. ✍️

The Art…. actually, WAIT.

Before we begin, there’s something I must explain: I forgot my art style. I viewed many different ahtists absolutely scrumptious renditions and original works, and… I got discouraged. Seriously and very deeply discouraged. How could one ever reach the bar they’ve set?

I snapped out of it by God’s grace! I would say that figuring out some stuff about myself through the lens of the Word of God was also beneficial. BUT THAT’S MUCH TOO DEEP FOR NOW.

BEFORE the Breakdown

‘TIS SO DIRTY!!!

I have this horrid tendency of not taking care of the scraps of paper which I use for certain drawings. Being, y’know, MYSELF, I love drawing on scratch paper! 😃

[The one to the right] Not my PROUDEST creation but a creation nonetheless.

I feel it’s important to note that I filter out some of my sketches since some of them are 🤢… too revolting to share. I hope you understand. 😅

DURING the Breakdown

Someway, somehow, past Breanna knew of her dilemma. At the back of her mind, she was aware of the disappointment her drawings brought. They just weren’t good enough. She just wasn’t good enough.

So she stopped.

No drawing.

No sketching.

No art.

nothing.

After the Breakdown 😎

Ehehehe, I’m definitely over-exaggerating my past situation because on the same day of the “breakdown,” I made these lovelies. 👆

(inspired by Cameron Mark Art, my idol 🤩)

Or… 🤔

OH WAIT, NOW I get it. The picture during the breakdown was actually after a big hiatus I took from art. (If you ever feel overly pressured from something, consider taking a break!) Apologies for the misunderstanding! 😃

DEN I read some articles on how to draw. Sometimes you need to return to the basics. 👌

Good 👍

Not so good 👎

A huge shoutout and thank you to Cameron Mark Art. (MA DUUUUUDE!) Thank you for showing your art to the world so amateurs like me can imitate and acquire motivation from them.

When I hit a block, I genuinely tried discontinuing my art journey. But I couldn’t. It was a chunk of me that couldn’t be removed.

No matter how terrible I believe I am, I can’t stop. I won’t stop. And no human deter me.

(EXCEPT FOR YOU, MOM AND DAD! I’D GIVE UP ART FOR YOU ANY DAY! 😃)

… Lez move on

(I revealed my hand to remind you aliens that I’M NOT A BOT.)

I’M SO VERY PROUD OF THIS!

HARUMIIII inspired by the 13th to the last sketch of this post by Bea

Her body proportions are WHACK. But I attempted to fix it the best I could, so whack it shall stay.

Allow me to take a moment to explain who Harumi is.

Rumi/ HarumI

In a series called Ninjago, Harumi was (take note: was) this perfect princess. White hair adorned her head, and her lips were always cherry red. (RHYME!) The first time the ninja—Surprise, surprise, Ninjago is about ninjas!—met Harumi, she wore her royal gown and crown, face lathered in the required make-up of the Jade Princess (another name of hers).

(Ninjago fans, I’ll skip some backstory cuz I’m kinda sus about her.) Lloyd, one of the main characters, identified with her since she also felt like a bar was set for her (as a princess but for him as the Green Ninja)—a bar she felt she could never reach. *cough* She was also adopted. *cough*

Lloydie-toydie develops a crushy-wushy, cuz he’s a BIG OL’ BABY! (That’s a half-meant joke. 😏 Watch Ninjago to understand!) She’s aware of his feelings…

⛔️ Warning: MAJOR SPOILER! Do not read if you wanna watch the show. ⛔️

…THEN USES IT TO BRING HIS “DEAD” DAD BACK FROM IMPRISONMENT IN ANOTHER REALM BECAUSE SHE WAS ACTUALLY EVIL THIS WHOLE TIME AND WAS USING LLOYD’S EMOTIONS TO GET WHAT SHE WANTED.

😮‍💨

🧘‍♀️

What did she want, you ask? Well, dearies, you’re in for a treat: Lloyd’s father was overcome by evil and therefore detained in a place, not part of yet still sort of part of their LEGO world. Yes, it’s lego. Hard to wrap your head around, but let me continue: Before he was “fully” evil, he stopped this ginormous snake from destroying all of Ninjago. The people credited the victory to Lloyd’s father, Garmadon, despite the ninja doing most of the work.

Here’s the kicker: Harumi’s parents died because of the destruction the snakey caused. From then on out, she “worshiped” Garmadon, and dedicated her life to resurrecting him. On the other hand, she loathed the ninja and vowed to annihilate them. (Or at least torture them until they wish she had.) She spent years upon years undercover, forming a band of bandits to bend upon her will. Lloyd crushing on her only helped her cause. (LLYOD, WHY?)

The only thing that fueled her was her hatred of the ninja. But somehow she gets over that…

…but not before dying. 🙂

Just… just watch it.

HENCE THE SKETCH! She’s a sassy boss, which I would have been okay with had…had she not emotionally manipulated Lloyd. Ya.
