This week started to work on new projects.it has been pretty hard to start different styles.  I tend to stick with pen and pencil but I tried using watercolor markers this week. it was hard using different shades of gray to get the contrast and the shadows I wanted. Next time I am going to start with a light layer and build up off of it.

This week I worked on my girl drawing. I decided I wanted to try an use maker. They were very hard to use. The marker was hard to blend but when I added the pencil to it, it looked a lot better. I wanted the girl to look sorta realistic but it ended up looking cartoonish. I think if I did not do cross hatching it would have helped it look more realistic. It was very weird doing this project in marker. But I actually enjoyed it, it made me feel like a child again, I may try and do some more in those marker. It’s very hard finding things to do right now with very limited resources.

When I did my flower piece it was very easy for me. I love to do pointillism so this one was fun and I felt confident in it. I think overall it was good but I needed to add more details to it for my message to be more clear about it. I was happy with how realistic the flower looked compared to most of my work. I think I will do more pointillism it is my favorite thing and what I am most comfortable with. I want to try and do something in watercolor at some point.

This week I am starting on adding more details to all of my projects. I have been struggling with coming up ideas to add on to the projects. I want to try and do some watercolor maybe on some of them or maybe just do a new project in water color. I have been frantically trying to get all of these projects done. Time has been very minimal so it has been stressful therefore causing all of my ideas to just fly out of my head. I think adding a background to most of my projects will help make the, look more complete and add more of a meaning to most of them. With the girl drawing and the hands I think if I ass worlds in the empty hands it will help get the meaning and message across more clearly.

This week I astarted to add more details to my vogue drawing. I was trying to come up with article titles that would help get the message I was trying to get across. It was kind of hard to come up with things but I ended up coming up with two that felt like they fit pretty good. I chose “dead girls are skinnier” and “weight loss tips” . I felt like those were good because as someone with an exacting disorder no matter how skinny you are it will never be enough and eventually you will die if you get to thin. And I know for me personally I and always looking for new ways to loss weight so I felt like the weight loss tips really made that clear, however I did not like how the lettering turned out. It seems a little off centered wind isn’t perfect so I am going to try and make it more font like.

I started a new project that hit very close to home for me. It is one about my dad. I decided to do another magazine cover. It is going to be a trophy but with a girl on top and a dad staring at the trophy. The picture is supposed to represent the dad living through the girl even if he wasn’t there for her. And he only wants a perfect daughter. I added article titles along the sides of it that are basically like steps and guides to having a perfect kids. And the girl on the trophy is going to be an athlete because for me my dad lived through my diving and track and only cared for me and about me when I was winning of getting awards from my sports.

When I started adding to the flower it was hard to figure out what I wanted to add. I didn’t want to mess it up but I also knew that it needed something added to it. I decided to add cracks on the ground. Originally I was going to make it look like glass shattered but I felt like that would not have fit the message I was trying to get across. Once I made the earth cracking I did not know how I was going to fill it in. I was planning on leaving it blank but I felt like that would have been really boring, so then I figured mine as well do it in pointillism to fit the rest of the drawing. For the most part I like how it turned out. Next time I don’t think i will use the 08 micron pen for the dots but it helped distinguish the flower from the cracks with the different sizing of dots.

Adding to the girl silenced drawing was hard as well. I had a lot of ideas but when I tried them in pencil I did not like how they turned out. Eventually I ended up going with Anderson’s ideas. When I started drawing the additions I did know if I should do them also in pointillism but I figured it would look a little weird if I didn’t. When I was adding the shh I didn’t want to just do normal writing, I knew it needed a little something extra to make it stand out and look like it fit in with the message. So I went over the shh in different directions to make it look a little sloppy but in a good way. I felt like I needed to add to the hands and I tried writing stuff in the hands but it didn’t look good and I felt like the blank fit the message of getting your words and voice taken away and there being nothing left there.

I am starting to work on a new project this week. I started to draw a hand and it will be holding the world but the world it melting into the persons hand, I think this has a good meaning behind it. To me it means that through all of my struggles it feels like the world is melting beneath me and I don’t belong on this earth. I plan on finishing my sketch this week. I think I will do it in watercolor and micron pen. I am not the best with water color so it will be a good challenge for me. I the hands will be normal colors but the earth will be grays and dark browns, to show the toxicity and just grossness I feel when I am struggling to accept being here.

This week I started my new piece. I did not plan on it being in pointillism but that is kind of what happened. I decided that it is what I like best and I think I am best at so I decided to do it. It was hard figuring out what to do for the nails, it looked weird having them just be white so I covered them with my 005 micron pen. I am not sure how i like it but I do know it looks a lot better than them being just white. I also decided I was going to do the world with my light gray pens. I didn’t realize how difficult it is doing pointillism in anything other than black. I had to go over it several times just so you could see the gray. I am going to do the continents in 005 black dots this week

This week I worked on finishing my heart piece. I started to add more detail to the heart and the hands but I felt like there was still something missing from the piece. I decided to add a knife, for more depth to the meaning. However I do not really care for how it turned out. It was hard to get the knife to look a certain way I wanted it to look. I think I needed to angle it a little more to show more depth and contour in the piece. This coming week I am starting a new piece. I want to do something with match’s and flames. I am not quite sure what media I am going to do it in. I think I want to try acrylic but I may end up doing it in water color. No matter what those both will challenge me a lot because it is very hard for me to layer things to make them look realistic and not so cartoon like. I will plan on finishing my sketch this week.

This week I started a new project. I decided to do it in acrylic. I started by sketching a girl sitting in her bathroom. She is naked and looks like she has a puddle of water under her. The girl will be curled up and holding herself. I want the girls body to show she is malnourished. I am also adding a scale and a monster coming out from it. I hope it shows how deconstructive a number on the scale can be. I plan on continuing painting and adding layers to show details and depth in the painting. I want to finishe the painting by the end of the week. I am having a hard time coming up with what the monster or shadow should look like or be. I think it would be cool to be black but I’m not sure if I want it to be a shadow or what.

# data[].attributes.body
This week I am starting a new sketch.  I am not complaining sure what I want it to be about or done with. I am planning on doing this piece in acrylic. I want it to be bright and colorful. I think I might do something with a body and body dysmorphia. This is something that has impacted me very much the past several years. I think it would be a good topic to explore and give some light to. I think it will be a girl holding her stomach but the skin isn’t going to be normal skin color but all sorts of colors, showing it doesn’t affect one certain type of person. It can affect anyone no matter shape, size, color, gender.

This week I started to add a background to my painting. I am not exactly sure what I want the background to be, I started by sketching a normal bathroom scene but I feel like it look to boring. So I tried just adding color splotches all over random. I like how it looks but I’m not sure if I am going to layer it or not. I think I will end up layering it. I also need add the shadow coming out of the scale. I am going to struggle with how to make the shadow. I want it to be black but I need to come up with lots of shades of black to show depth and details. I think I need to add a little to the girl in terms of details in the skin colors and tones. I am going to completely finish the girl and then continue working on the background this week.

This week I started adding to one of my other pieces. I am adding more to the toxicity in the world drawing. I decided that it needed a little something else to actually give it a story. Instead of it just looking like the world melting in someone’s hands I added things that have become a problem in our world. Such as drugs, gun violence, drinking. Just the basics. I think that this gives it a little more character that I was looking for. I am going to do these additions in pointillism as well. I think it is going to be hard to show the depth and contours on some of the pieces but I think I will be able to do it. I am hoping by the end of the week I will be half way done or if not all the way done.

# data[].attributes.body
This week I finished up my 7th project. I decided to add more things to the background of my world melting. I added lots of guns drugs and things that are just going wrong with the world. I decided to add a hint of color to the police tape, I feel like that was a good addition. The little pop of color helps draw you eyes to everything in the picture. I am happy with how it looks, I however don’t know if there is anything else I should add to it. I am going to keep thinking of what I need to add if I need to. and I will hopefully turn it in this week

This week I am starting my 9th project I am going to do another drawing in pointillism. I am thinking of having a girl crying. However the tears running down her face aren’t going to be normal tears. I am thinking of doing them in watercolor. I also think it would be cool to do the tears in shades of red. I believe that the red will show emotion and pain the girl is going through. The girl is supposed to symbolize me and the red tears I am hoping to have will add the detailing of finally giving up with all the crap and trauma I have experienced. I am not very good at watercolor so I think this little exposure to it will be good experience.

This week I worked on my girl drawing. It was really hard to figure out how to do the hair but I managed to get some hair done and then it came to me and I was able to finish it. I decided on red water color tears. Watercolor in general is hard for me but I think it turned out cool and really added a nice touch to the piece. I finished it up today and am ready to turn it in. I am stuck on what my next project will be tho. I want to do something completely different than normal but I am not sure what exactly
