work in progress.
finally getting back into my drawing/painting mode! here’s a drawing i’ve been working on for an hour or so-so far! bryan cranston! in this case, walter white from my favorite show breaking bad. (if you have not seen it i suggest dropping whatever you are doing, including looking at this picture, and go watch it!) its surprising that it took me this long to finally draw something from breaking bad! well here is the WIP. hope you all enjoy it!

project nursery.
for the past 2 weeks or so, i was in texas visiting family. while there, my job and the reason i was out in texas was to paint a nursery for my cousin! i have to say, it was such a challenge, the walls being textured and all made it much more complicated. however it was a blast and i wish i had more time to make it even more amazing! it looks great, and this is just one side of the nursery. i will be uploading a lot more now that i am back home! for now, i hope you all enjoy this!

currently listening to Weightless by City and Colour.
well, finals are almost over! which means..i’m about to start posting again! thank god. also, i’ll be posting a lot more since it’ll be break. however, they won’t be full blown paintings like usual, they will be just normal drawings in my moleskine. i’m flying out to texas tomorrow and i won’t have my usual supplies. i’ll be bringing my moleskine, a few brushes, some watercolors, tons of microns and fine liners, and that’s about it. i’ll be posting everyday(or i will try to at least). enjoy!

Lydia’s Illuminate.
i don’t remember if i posted this before, but if i did..here it is again! it’s an older watercolor painting i did last year of the band’s album cover. i had a huge phase of listening to Lydia back in the day and i remember i absolutely loved the album cover so i re-created it, solely for myself. this isn’t the painting i was going to post tonight, i’m just way too tired and i feel sick to keep drawing so i posted this in the meantime. i hope ya guys enjoy!

where all the art is made.
so i decided to just take a few pictures of where i draw, paint, and all that good stuff. as you can see, it’s a mess! but i like the room to be messy, i hate when it’s clean for some reason. it’s organized…in a messy way. ok anyways here are just a few pictures i took, there are two sections. the desk with two computers on it is where all the painting is done, and whatever causes a mess. the black desk was originally where i had my laptop and a tablet, but i don’t use my tablet anymore. it’s mostly used for studying now and sketching here and there since its not a complete mess! enjoy!

Nature’s Lights.
this painting was referenced off of a photograph, if anyone can find it and message me the link, that would be great! i want to give proper credit to the photographer. anyways, this painting was done with watercolors and it is one of my favorites. there isn’t much behind this painting other than the fact i just wanted to paint! hope you all enjoy!!

also, if any of you wonderful followers have any questions and/or comments you would like to ask/tell me, please do!
perish.
done with watercolors and acrylic inks, this painting really was not what i expected it to be! i had no clue what i was going to make when i started painting the base with browns and yellows, but then it looked burnt. and then i added a tree…why a tree? i have absolutely no clue, but i chose a tree. mainly because i bought a thin paintbrush and i wanted to test it out! but i hope you all enjoy!
