This morning I got a flash for my future entry concerning the Colour Contest that I've mentioned about into my previous entry! Inspiration comes at the most random moments. I had this title A Drop of Colour floating into my mind for a few days and wanted to do something with this and link it to the contest. I didn't know what exactly, but I didn't force myself to find something. I knew it would have come with time whenever I would be ready for this drawing. And that's what happened this morning. I thought of this picture:



Which is exactly what I want to do. It represents well the concept that I was looking for. I'll change a few things here and there as I usually do. Especially at the bottom of the picture. It might be like a bowl instead of a glass or even nothing, only the liquid dripping from her finger. I'm still into the processing. Not really sure yet.

However what I know is that her irises are to be coloured as well as her makeup that I'll add. I thought of colouring the lips too but I'm not sure for this yet. Maybe I'll just add a faint tone into them. Also, I'm not sure if I want to keep like the reference, meaning white or do it instead black and add the colour. Speaking of colour, I don't know what tone I'll go into. I'm quite limited with my pencils. I don't have any purple, I need to "make it" with my red and blue. We'll see about that.

What I look the most forward to do, is the blurry hand. And the dripping liquid. It's going to be a fun challenge (^-^) !! I wish I had some free time to start!

By the way, I'm currently "working" whenever I have the time on a old drawing that I've started of Uruha from the band the GazettE. It's supposed to look like him this time. So, I can actually call this drawing a "fan art"! lol

Finally the result for the Winter Contest were revealed, and like I thought, I didn't won. I'll be honest, I'm a little bit disappointed but I think it's normal. Somewhere inside, you still hope to win. Nevertheless, one of my favourite entries made it to the top 3 and won 2nd place. The 1st and 3rd place weren't part of my favourite entries. Anyhow, I'm still pleased to have entered this contest. I really proud of Wandering Spirit (^-^) !!

You can see the all the entries and the winners here (scroll down a bit).

I saw that a new contest was up~! This time it's called Colour Contest and it goes as follows:

What is your favourite colour?

Create a drawing using mainly your favourite colour. You are free to include other colours as well as long as it’s visible which is the main/chosen colour.

The motive is all up to you, as well as style it's done in. You can do it digitally or traditionally – exactly as you like. This is a very open contest allowing you to do it as you wish, without any limitations, besides the colour theme.

Deadline: April 1st 2010

I'll probably go into the blue/green colours, or purple/pink. I'm really not sure yet. Like I said, I just read about this a few seconds ago. So, I basically have no idea what I'll do. I might not even enter it if I see I won't have the time because of University. Anyway, you guys will no eventually if I participate or not~!

Phew. That was a close call with the entry for the Winter Contest. I submitted it Friday night and the clock was going to tick midnight~! I don't know when the winners will be announced. There's still missing some entries into the main post including mine. Like I said, I don't expect to win. Sure it would be cool to win one of the 3 prizes but... It's not like I'm going to be sad if I get nothing.

University has restarted 2 weeks ago, meaning that I won't have time to draw until...a few months? It makes me angry because I really feel like drawing recently. The artistic vibe is burning inside. I often get that specific mood that I need to draw my stronger pieces. I can't really do anything about it. If I do take the time to draw, my grades will suffer. What's more important? I think you can all answer that question.

I finally got my screencaps for my drawing that is either going to be called Cry... for your memory or simply And Cry.... I'm not quite sure for the name yet, but I tend to like more and more the second one. I was really happy that someone took the time to do the caps that I needed. I can't wait to start that drawing~! Another piece that I believe will be important for me. "Someday, I'll want to feel the pain of the words I tell you"

I found another reference that I felt in love with. I found it on Facebook. I often browse people's photo gallery. This one is going to be into the "hatred" theme. I called the reference "You make me sick" just to give you an idea of what it's going to be about. That's another one that I really anticipate to draw. "Someday, the words I want to tell you will hurt, I'll want to say them so badly"

Both italic sentences are associated with the idea surrounding those drawings.

Hidden messages?
Perhaps. If you actually feel concerned, you might be linked.

I've started working last night on my entry for the Winter Contest!

I was aiming for a short and simple drawing. Hum... It didn't really turn out that way >.> I should have known that it can never be simple with me! Okay, it's more like it'll take me more time than I thought.

Deadline: January 15th. Today: January 10th.
= 5 days left.

On another note. This is one of the rare drawings that I don't have the title before making it. I absolutely have no idea how I'm going to name it. I have a few key words like, "wandering", "spirit", "winter", "snow", yet I don't find any mix of words that feels right.

I also have no whatsoever idea what I'm doing! Generally speaking. It's really a "free for all" drawing. I draw without really knowing where I'm going. My mind is still blurry about the idea, but I just keep going because I only have 5 days left! Make that only today and possibly Tuesday. I don't have the time to draw during the week =|

A drawing without a title and a new style! I'm very excited about it (^-^) It's completely different from what I normally do. COMPLETELY! I guess I could classify it into the "anime" or "manga" category? And the new style comes with a new medium! Charcoal. I haven't work a lot with charcoal in my life. It's so messy. I love the results, the contrast is beautiful. The black is so pure. However, I really don't like the messy and troublesome side. Troublesome, why? You can't really erase charcoal once your paper tasted it. It's printed there and you're kind of f*ck when an accident happens. It can be very frustrating, and stressing.

Conclusion with this entry, I need to hurry and finish this drawing soon! I know that I won't win, there much more better entries for the contest. But I don't really care. I got an occasion to experiment with a new style and medium. That's what matters in the end!

I've been working on a lot of "side-projects" in the last couple of days. I'll soon be able to make the announcement about it! There will be some change here, but I do believe it's for the best. Please be patient~!

I also worked a lot of Numb. I would say the drawing is at 85-90% completed. I'm very happy so far of the outcome! I'm currently taking a break on it. I should be able to post it sometime either next week or the week after that.

I'll probably start a new piece sooner or later. I don't know exactly which one... Also, I might try to participate in another contest. I wasn't able to finish my drawing for the vampire one in time. I hope (if I participate) I'll have the chance to finish the drawing. It's really frustrating otherwise. The theme for this competition is "winter". Very general, but I have one reference that I'll try to adjust into a magical snowy land? I'm not sure yet, it's still a vague idea.
