WATERandINKK. Born in the United States in 1993, currently living in Hillsborough, New Jersey. I started drawing a couple of years ago, around 9th grade and immediately fell in love with the endless possibilites of what can be made with a pencil, paintbrush, a photo, or any form of art. Art is a source of inspiration that allows me to reveal the relationship between the outside world, people, forms, colors, structures, illusions and clichés and the inside world - dreams, thoughts, emotions, desires and wishes. Art allows me to express self mental and emotional stimulation mixed with idea and vision and shape it into an art form. I truly hope you enjoy this website and keep coming back for more. free web counter Tumblr (3.0; @waterandink)http://www.waterandinkk.com/<img src="http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzvrarOaq71qc17dro1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzvrarOaq71qc17dro2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzvrarOaq71qc17dro5_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzvrarOaq71qc17dro3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzvrarOaq71qc17dro4_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p><em>posca!</em></p> <p>some old paintings done last year, gonna go and buy some more of these pieces of wood to paint on! enjoy!</p> <p><em>-rais</em>.</p>http://www.waterandinkk.com/post/18172913385http://www.waterandinkk.com/post/18172913385Thu, 23 Feb 2012 23:32:00 -0500paintillustrationartwaterandinkkcanvaswoodufosunlightbulbaimless<img src="http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzf5t8HCtQ1qc17dro1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><em>Khal Drogo.</em></p> <p>some more practice with portraits and the figure. one of the coolest scenes from game of thrones! done in about 15-20 minutes. enjoy!</p> <p><em>-rais</em>.</p>http://www.waterandinkk.com/post/17645918253http://www.waterandinkk.com/post/17645918253Wed, 15 Feb 2012 00:27:00 -0500khal drogogame of thronesgraphiteillustrationart<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzf1shKRCP1qc17dro1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><em>practicing portraits.</em></p> <p>so i really want/need to start practicing portraits and the figure. i have never been too good at it and i just want to get proportions down and then worry about details and all. i think i’m starting off pretty strong! i see a lot of things i can improve, but i’m still happy with the outcome of this. Everyone, this is Jon Snow from Game of Thrones. I have to say, I am absolutely <em>obsessed </em>with the series. First the show, and now the books. Easily the best series I have ever read. I’m on book number three(just started) and they have taken over my life. Enjoy this for now! there is much more to come!</p> <p><em>-rais</em>.</p>http://www.waterandinkk.com/post/17642286057http://www.waterandinkk.com/post/17642286057Tue, 14 Feb 2012 23:00:16 -0500Game of ThronesJon SnowClash of KingsArtGraphiteIllustration<p>sorry i haven’t been posting lately. i have created nothing really worthy of being uploaded. however! i have created a new tumblr, something on the side to keep all of you updated! it is my personal blog. it shows where i get my inspiration from and the step by step processes of my work as well! i just created it today so not much is on it. however, in the very near future i will post more and more pictures of my work in the process, rather than just the finished product. please go and follow me there! it would be very much appreciated! i promise it will be interesting!</p> <p><a href="http://www.raisahmed.tumblr.com">NOW GO FOLLOW ME!</a></p> <p><a href="http://raisahmed.tumblr.com">GOGOGOGOGO!</a></p>http://www.waterandinkk.com/post/17634576229http://www.waterandinkk.com/post/17634576229Tue, 14 Feb 2012 20:42:56 -0500<img src="http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ly6hkgx8pz1qc17dro1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><em>work in progress.</em></p> <p>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.

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!

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!
