I had a passion for art at a young age and I still continue to draw and paint in my free time. Unfortunately, due to many of my responsibilities as I grow older, I do not always find time to do art.
Ironically I hated art class, I did not understand why my art would be marked or judged based on such a restrictive criteria. To me, art was supposed to be a fun freedom of expression.
I actually did really awful in my art class (...maybe because I caused alot of trouble in class) because we had to do mundane things like paint in a circle or draw a tree or bottle and the mundane things bored me to no end. I would instead paint abstract things just for the lolzz...
On the occasions when I would listen to the instructor and paint what was asked for, my paintings lacked color, vibrancy and I painted outside the lines. (Apparently I found it difficult to paint inside a circle and Idk how to improve the pigments of my colors)
Despite this, my love for art never really dwindled.
Anyway...here are some of my art samples in a somewhat chronological order:
This was when I was first learning how to control my brushstrokes.
A doodle during art class when my teacher was droning on about the color wheel.
My paintings began to improve slightly
My experiement with water colors.
I really love turtles
Painting depicting loss of natural habitats due to forest fires.
I loved detail art! (although it hurts my eyes sometimes >.>)
This is one of my favorites. I spent ample time on the detail of this iguana. My eyes were about to pop out my sockets. Stippling is a b**** but I liked the outcome.
