[Tangible]

This is my latest drawing titled "Tangible".
Im entering it into the Spotlight Awards Contest.
I was on the verge of not meeting the deadline but I was motivated!

May the forces be with me,
hopefully i win.. What do you think
of it?

[iiForggO.t.]

Uhm... I had a title for this painting, but I forgot...

So anyway, it all started out with a picture of me

[i know, hard to belive] with a sharpie in my mouth...

I drew the picture and modified the hair to make the

figure appear to be a different person. Then i added the

disproportioned body into the background for

a surreal illusion.

I wanted the colors of the painting to kind

of "shout" out the theme of surrealism behind this painting which is why i made them light and kind of random

rather than sticking with the usual black and white.

Uhh, the figure kindof appears to be a male also...

It's whatever you want it to be..

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder;]

[Two Untitled Drawings]

Here are two unfinished and untitled drawings of mine...
Any one that knows me can attest to the fact that it takes me
forever and a day to actually complete a drawing...
Im so busy doing nothing that my mind is just outta wack
and im uninspired... But i've managed to do these...
And hopefully, within the next week, i'll be finished with
atleast one of them..
Btw, i'm a lover of surrealism so,
disproportion will
be displayed a lot in my original work-

[The Cavalli]

THE CAVALLI. This drawing was also inspired by a picture in a magazine. It was advertising a Roberto Cavalli piece and it really stood out to me. Since i barely ever draw full figures when I draw people, i thought i'd step out of my comfort zone and try something new. Its not properly proportioned and that annoys me, but i'm lazy and didn't really feel up to fixing it. The main girl in the drawing is okay but the one to the right, her head is too long, her arm is weird, and her shoulders are just-- bleh.. The detail on the dress took me the longest and the shading was the best part. I like shading:). Anyway, this picture was originally in color, but i decided to leave it in black and white because i like the feeling and effect it has and gives off... This was done completely with a mechanical pencil
