an explanation

December 9, 2015 z.m. celestaire  Emotional Breakdowns  Leave a comment

I’m very sad to say that after a month hiatus in my blog, I don’t have any artwork to show. There are a handful of reasons. The lamest is that I’ve been insanely lazy and reluctant to scan things. I hate my wand scanner and I have to annoying plug in my flatbed scanner, but […]

digital/painting SPLICE!

  On a particularly hormone-induced night of bursting creativity, I grabbed some paint and I was all like I’M GONNA MAKE BACKGROUNDS. I realized this because I usually do like lineart I do on the computer, but I never get much farther than that with it, because the computer just makes everything look so…computery. Technical. […]

I felt increasingly guilty about posting my paintings on Facebook and not my blog, especially after my blog not working earlier today due to my stupid tangled hosting issues. So here are the two watercolors of pretty people that I did this last weekend. My phoenix girl (Ryan asked if I was paying homage to […]

Putting this together made me feel super productive, because I have a lot more moderately finished pictures than I thought IN UNDER A MONTH!! (It’s been months since I’ve posted less than a month apart!) I’ve started my new job and I. LOVE. IT. I love my students, I love my coworkers (that’s saying a […]

  After a brief artistic dry spell after vacation, I’ve emerged with flying colors and produced a spree of amusing doodlies. It’s all gonna be done now. I start teaching for a week and then my REAL JOB starts! Ryan and I move into our own apartment in 38 days, so to take advantage of […]

WHAT IS THIS?! Two digital drawings in two days, and I LOVE THEM BOTH?! Who am I?! My digital drawing experience is so weird because I have to force myself to revert back to the kind of freedom that I had when I was drawing as a teenager. As an adult I have developed such […]

Oh, my, gosh! After a somewhat disgruntled time with Manga Studio in the last few weeks, I finally switched back to working in Photoshop and kickstarted my interest in doing so by finding myself some better brushes to work with. I took my tablet out today while I had company (tsk, tsk) and just started […]

Literally don’t have anything to say about these drawings…but they’re cute and they’re what I’ve been working on in the last month!

AAAAHHHH sorry Dreaming In Color, I totally sucked at blogging over the tail end of winter/early spring. Holy crap, life has been so exhausting and busy and involved. School’s been going great; after my initial total terror about going back to school (because of the money involved), I have no doubt that I’m doing the […]

Been keeping busy with painting strong women in shades of red & blue. I also got into my Art Therapy program! Grad school starts next week! I’m gonna be so Adlerian. That’s…that’s it. BUT A BUNCH OF THESE ARE DONE WITH OIL! Because I went out and bought acrylics and then hated how they work […]
