It's the fourth day, right?
30 Day Music Challenge:
day 04 – a song that makes you sad
...can't listen to it...to sad...TT^TT
This makes me sad for two reasons...maybe three...maybe four (I could go on...let's just not number the reasons). This song was written by Maki Goto for her mother because her mother told her that when she becomes a singer that she wants her to write a ballad for her so they can sing together. But her mother died...I think right before or at the time of the release...I don't remember. But I don't think they ever got to sing this song together. On top of that the lyrics almost make it seem like it's a song about her mother's death or something, but it's not. Because of the lyrics it reminds you that her mother is dead, but she will still remember her...So sad...Also first time I listened to the song she ws crying 'cause of her mother...I don't know where the video is...But it makes me even more sad! TT^TT Poor Gocchin! She's an orphan at such the young age of 25! TT^TT
I actually couldn't decide between this song which makes me sad for Gocchin, or this song:
I LOVE this song, but I listened to it so much during the time of my cat's sickness and death that it reminds me of that time...so it makes me really sad...But it's a beautiful song...but it's still a sad song...despite the personal stuff...XD
And, gosh, they make that light blending look on the video like when you're crying and looking through your wet eyes. I really like that, but it makes it hard to watch the video...
Oh! And sorry if I forget to comment on any of your stuffs it's mostly that I'm so busy on my costume that I don't get on here until late so I don't have to do much stuff...>3>
I also messed up on my costume big time...well...it's fixed now...but I'm done sewing! I'm just gonna glue the pieces I have on and anything else I'm going to draw on there 'cause I'm tired of cutting and sewing things that won't work together...>.> All I did today was mess up...what a waste of a day...>.>
One more thing! I came up with this a while ago....maybe I talked about it maybe I didn't (don't remember anything). Well, after taking an animal personality test and getting a 'bat'...I thought more about it...and my skin is pale like they say vampires are, now that I apparently have the personality of a bat, and my nails are really long like a vampires, I also sleep in a vampire-like position with my blankets in the shape of a coffin (completely accidental...actually, not even accidental... unconscious....O.o.o; ...<-- woah...that looks weird...I was going to fix it...but I'm confused now...), annnd...I wear black...a lot...not intentionally, that's just all I have...O.o; (It's not in a gothic style, by the way, it's more in a business style...or how most kids say it 'office' style), and I have really huge pupils (if that means anything). So in conclusion I am a vampire! XD I just find there to be lots of coincidences.
But no, I'm not really a vampire...I have no thirst for blood, I really like garlic (just not in a large amount....anything in a large amount is bad, even chocolate, then I would be very thirsty and have sores all over my mouth), I can go out in the sunlight (without sparkling! XD)...and I can't think of much else.
Oh! I got rejected from that one thing I spent all my time auditioning for...Not that I really care that much, I can try again next year...nor do I totally like the program...they told me what they'd be doing and it wasn't all amazing like I was expecting. Most of it is just observations and...oh, we get to go outside, to do more observations...>.> I can do observations on my own time, I want to learn construction of art! >3>
I read on some website that there are two types of learning styles of drawing art. There's realism and construction. Realism is mostly observations and copying directly from what you see, construction is drawing based on set figures and stuffingtons (I seem to use this word a lot lately)...hold on...maybe I can find it..(and waste more time)
A linky!
And quote:
"-- About the schools that emphasise realism --
The schools that emphasise realism are built on the system of Bargue and partly on the system of the french academy. Their method is optical - they start by copying shadow shapes rather than constructing a figure.
They emphasise technical mastery of the materials(paper, paints, colors, glazing, varnish) and completeness of a work of art. And of course realism(realistic skin color studies and realistic rendering, perfection of still life paintings).
Weaknesses are a lack of focus on structural anatomy, construction, form, big form movement, perspective, and imaginary drawing.
These subjects might be taught as seperate lectures, but they are more or less not taught in everyday drawing.
The method is to copy in 2 dimension, make a 2-value graphical image, and then add the 3rd dimension with shading.
Sight size is in general taught for copy of drawings(bargues) and drawing/painting the plastercasts. At some schools/ateliers they also use sight size for drawing the figure.

-- About the schools that emphasise construction --
The constructional schools are built on the sculptural drawing techniques invented in the renaissance.(Leonardo, Michelangelo, Raphael
The method is to built the figure or still life in 3 dimensions - using perspective. Crosshatch and planar rendering.
There is a difference in the emphasis of the individual schools, some are leaning towards realism more than others, but all are still based on 3d construction, not shape-copying.
Strength :
Understanding of 3 dimensions, (perspective) and mass. Structural anatomy, construction, big form movement, gesture, drawing and shading from imagination, preperation for clay or computer sculpting. As well as animation.
Weaknesses :
Time!!! (it takes years alone to master anatomy and figure construction) so it will not be possible to draw or paint realistically within a few years.
Works thus won't have the same completeness as in the realist system(will look constructed). Not possible to get the same technical mastery over paint and colors within few years."
As boring as construction sounds, I REALLY think I need that and I want to learn that way. It'll probably be a boring journey, but I'll learn bunches from it.
GAH! Speaking of journey! I need to write my english paper! I don't know what I want it to be about persay...probably my oriental story idea...just a random scene from in since we got words having to do with age and maturity, which can work if you're talking about fantasy stories and stuffingtons.
Well...I'll be going now! XD
