Next you take a selfie, take it to a new level of art and not “Hey! Look at me!” or “Look what I’m wearing!”. Edit it so it’s different, and try not looking at the camera. To me this is a whole lot more interesting than the one I’m going to post in my thank you post here soon.

No More Blemishes
Sometimes to get rid of blemishes, you have to make the highlights brighter.
Thank You #60
So I did take some new pictures, but since computers completely and utterly hate me, and that I had to send it via email, they have yet to arrive to my computer to post. Never ask me computer questions. Because more than likely I have tried and miserably failed in the strangest of ways. But on to what this post is REALLY all about! Thank you SO MUCH Patricia Beykrat, robert okaji, Chris Nicholas, and maxgor for coming to the blog toady! It means a lot to me, and I know I can’t show you guys just how thankful I am to have you. But I can still try. Even if I have to do a post that might seem a bit redundant to the blogs followers and other viewers. Thank you EVERYONE and I hope ALL of you are having wonderful lives!
*Side Note* Yeah.. So the pics came in right as soon as I was about to hit publish. So the pics came on time! Here’s the first one!
30 Day Drawing Challenge: Day 1 Draw Selfportrait
Ok I swear I do not look that old in real life. But I took a pic of me and redrew it. This is what I got. I do not do sketches, nor do I do graphite portraits of myself unless it is abstract. This is the reason why.
Explanation For Pic And Advice For The People Who Will Be Forever Ill
Ok, I did this in 7th grade and I know what your thinking by the words. No, I am not trying to say that if you make yourself suffer that good things come from it. I had just made this after getting out of my second brain surgery (hence the reason I’m wearing a hat in the artwork). I was trying to say that even though there might be suffering people, after all is said and done, to always look at the positive side because every action and event has at least one good thing. After having my first surgery, it opened my eyes on just how many kids are in the hospital. It also made me more mature and learn how to deal with more serious things. I have been on a trip to Hawaii thanks to Make-A-Wish (if you know someone who has an illness that could last forever, in my case Hydrocephalus and a brain tumor that I will never know what it is, then please please please look into Make-A-Wish.) and now I help out however I can, when ever I can. It’s not much though. I never seem to find a whole lot of stuff that donates to Make-A-Wish.

Unrealistic Colors
So obviously, this portrait that I made of my friend is not realistic in color. At least I’d like to think that he doesn’t have purple skin and red-purple hair. Doing stuff that is unordinary is rarely ever looked down on in the art industry. But, I am definitely not the first person to ever do this. I find it easier to do unrealistic colors because you don’t have to worry about if the skin color makes them look sick or like a peach.
Thank You #45
Ok, so after his I should be on track. All sickness gone and all strength back. But thank you SO MUCH paulawalkerbaker, spanishwoods, and PIPA Fine Art for coming to the blog today and looking at what It has to offer today! I feel bad that I haven’t been blogging on a consistent basis for the past two days.. I hope to make it up to you guys in the near future. 😉 Anyways, Thank you EVERYONE for coming today and I hope you all are having wonderful lives!
*Side Note* This pic was taken by a professional photographer named PJ who did such a WONDERFUL JOB at taking pictures of me and my family (mainly me and my best friend).
Waiting For Snow
I took this photo the other day for Instagram (which I just started, hoping to talk to my best friend more). I was waiting for the snow to fall after watching her leave. I love to contrast the darks and lights, especially in the winter.
Borders
Ok, I DO NOT take selfies. But I took one to show that some pics look better with a border. I don’t necessarily like the plain white or black border that’s just a solid line all around a pic. It’s constantly used and kinda boring. So I used this border to make it look a bit more interesting and a little less perfect. (I am a person who, when it comes to myself, likes things not to be perfect. I like to show off my flaws. Other than my face breaking out.) So this border is a lot like me. not perfect but still looks nice.
BIRTHDAY!!!
It’s my birthday today!! I feel old.. But I’m sure I’ll always feel old after this. This is one of my few good pictures of me. My mom took it while we were at a park running around. I am so thankful for EVERYONE in my life. And when I say EVERYONE I mean YOU TOO. If it weren’t for all of you the blog would have just been something to fill dead space on the internet. Hope all of you are having WONDERFUL LIVES! Even if it is Friday the 13th.. ;p
Get ready for art!
