deadlineS this week...

there are so many deadlines this week... v_v" and may is a commission month.. >x<" vacation is still far away.. XD

anyway, this week is really tight but i wont give in.. aja aja.. fighting..!

still life painting..

deadline: may 2 saturday.. it's almost done but i gotta make sure i finish this on saturday coz it's the last class and the next meeting will be on sept again.. XD my teacher asked me if i want to put this in the art show.. im like.. wow really... but thats only if i can finish this on time.. i must.. or else i wont make it there.. not to mention my portfolio exam is next week too and im planning to put this to show off my skills in different mediums.. XD

there's like 3 contests that im gonna participate that is due on wednesday and thursday but i still procrastinate and sketched something not related to any of those contests.. *hit me!* XD

procrastinate = draw something else.. XD it's a way to relieve tension too.. lol..

sooo random.. dont even know who's this gonna be yet.. ugh.. whatever... cat ears for fun.. XD

lastly, a random pic of something from my gallery.. i just find it amusing that some lines can actually go with their picture.. lol.... so yeh.. that ricchi mio in color was originally like this.. XD

oooh.. now u know they're not really connected.. or maybe it was obvious anyway.. XD

Still Life in canvas... opinions pls...

yesterday, saturday, i went to my art school.. though said art school, they dont teach the how tos.. its a private art school in which u create ur own projects.. i just enrolled there to make me dedicate my time just for art for my portfolio requirements (coz if i stay at home to do some art stuff, i'll just be distracted by a lot and will just procrastinate til the deadline lol..) and i also need a reference/testimony of some sort from an art teacher.. coz i need that too to get into the faculty of fine arts in university.... x.x

anyway.. self projects.. i chose a painting.. on a canvas.. yeeaaayyyy!! i also needed a still life painting as required from the portfolio reqs so still life...

the masque is referenced from d.gray-man's mask.. lol.. i honestly wanted to draw the real one but its too plain and a little masculine.. XD i added a rose but i dunno if thats alright.. *unease* these 2 objects are laid on a round table and on the background is a curtain... im thinking of a stage curtain or that of a royal kind..

and so i need ur opinion.. coz im not good in colors.. i dunno what colors to use...

the teacher only asked me some points or rather it was a hint of some sort.... =x="

* what is the subject or story behind this picture?
- i dunno.. but it somehow tells a story.. "somehow"....

* is it a romantic story, dramatic, tragic, etc..?
- dramatic romance..? i think it will depend on the colors... *which is my problem atm..*

* where is the focal point?
- isnt it the 2 objects..? (=,=") if i had to choose between the two.. i dont know...

* if u chose a theme like shades of red, the leaf on the rose will stand out. how will u not let that happen?

im still in doubt.. normally, i'd choose a red shade too but yeah.. my problem is the leaf.. and im not liking a red-pinkish mask.. x.x so i tried considering other shades that would blend with the leaf.. *troublesome leaf!* green-blue-purple might be a good one.. since i wanted the mask to be on the same color as allen's clown crown mask (d.gray-man).. lol.. then i'd have to settle for a cool theme.. (but then the rose...! oh gee.. gotta do something bout that..) or i can go for a yellow/sepia tone (thanks to 15385bic's sepia pic which inspired me a lot..) which could be nice too... or a desaturated red theme with the leaves withering in color...

theres so many options.. she (art teacher) only gave me a push on a free fall... free fall.. means i can do whatever i want to it.. lol... but i want this to be a successful painting since this is gonna be my first painting..

oh dear.. i wonder how long have i been typing this... XD

anyway, to make it short.. i need ur opinions about this matter... comment about ur thoughts... what do u think..? the picture itself..? as a still life, i wanted something unique coz i've been seeing flowers on a vase for a still life picture so i squeezed some anime-ish feel with the mask and the rose--though i kinda messed up the rose's form.. lol... XD

please comment..... i really need it.. i apprecite it.. *hugs*

PS.. i wanted to submit this in the fanart section but its a scrap.. for now.. im not sure if im gonna get more comments here.. but i hope so..... i have til next saturday to decide.. >_<.
