Lollipop Princess

I am currently working on this pretty HUGE painting. It's almost done, I first started it because the wall in my room was white and it needed color so I had a 35x40 blank canvas and got my creativity on! ;D 

First painting session...

This is the first portrait painting under the teachings of Israel. I like her she was fun to paint.

Portrait

So this is what I can do now after two sessions with Israel....yup...I just blew your mind away right? It amazes me how much I improved and how much I learned in such a short time. I really enjoyed these sessions. My brother says that the model has a similar resemblance to Kristen Stewart (very poor actress from Twilight movies) but it's not, she's  just a model that Israel photographed for me to paint. I really am enjoying to paint even more.

New Painting

So I met this guy, his name is Israel and his artwork is AMAZINGLY RIDICULOUS!! This guy knows what he is doing, he has MAD TALENT!! I am so blessed to know him. He is also a very very nice guy. He showed me how to paint like this in less than an hour...not to shabby eh? Although he never did give me back my picture... I must bring this up next time I see him lol. I would not have met him if it wasn't for Wayne who is another AMAZING and very talented artist. I mean these guys just BLEW my mind AWAY!! I can get used to painting like this (:

My first SOLD piece!!

This was a request that chef Joshua from The Bazzar  made. It is my very first commission piece. I was very excited and nervous when I gave it to him. He LOVED it. I would've died if he hated it..(haha need to be more confident in my work..) I had my moments with this piece but overall I enjoyed my experience with it. :)

Under the sea

Im kinda going through a mermaid kind of phase...i've been watching the little mermaid to much lol. If life under the sea were really so much better than up here on land I think I would have moved there a long time ago in fact I would've traded my legs for Ariels fins. But if i really think about it I would be scared to live down there because theres sharks and giant squids and octopuses and who knows what else @___@ besides its pitch black...i'm afraid of the dark... I think ill stay up here till i get over those fears.

If Influence...

Look alive, Sunshine
109 in the sky but the pigs won't quit
You're here with me: Dr. Death Defying
I'll be your surgeon, your proctor, your helicopter
Pumpin' out the slaughtermatic sounds to keep you alive
A system failure for the masses, anti-matter for the master plan
Louder than God's revolver and twice as shiny

This one's for all of you rock'n'rollers
All you crash queens and motor babies

Listen up!
The future is bulletproof!
The aftermath is secondary!
It's time to do it now and do it loud!
Killjoys, make some noise!

The band My Chemical Romance is not only one of my all time favorite bands but they have been a huge influence on the person that I am today. Their music has helped me get through some rough times in life & high school, they gave me the motivation to just be myself despite what others say or think. It is through their music that I was able to stand up for myself and show everyone else that I was just as important as anyone else.I was seen and my voice was finally heard. I finally got the opportunity to go to one of their concerts this summer...it was AMAZING... I raised hell and I was probably the loudest one in there lol but it didnt matter because i was so happy to finally see them, they have truly made me a rebel! (:<

Just Desserts

So i've been craving some Gelato lately....it's just so expensive...for a student like me..lol...so the next best thing to gelato is an ice cream sundae. I've only had an ice cream sundae once in my life....i was probably 8 years old...it was pretty good. It looked like a work of art, it was a shame to eat it...oh well... ;)

On the look out for honey...

Bzzzzzz..... there's been a bunch of bee's around my house lately... i think they like me since they follow me and like to land on me. Its very annoying to be followed by bees until i noticed it was because i was using flowers on my hair as decoration.....bzzzzz... ;) 

If Asleep

When I was a little girl my mom would put me to sleep with music. One day she bought a cd called Faeries A Realm of Magic & Enchantment, the music was pretty nice and soothing  that I would imagine that the fairies would also fall asleep and soon join me in my dreams.

Companion indeed...

This little guy here is my other dog. His name is pnut a.k.a spoiled brat! He is a mix between a chihuahua and a daschund so he kinda looks funny but just because he is small doesn't mean that he is a pushover, oh no sir! Mr. tough guy right here thinks he's a great dane whenever he see's dogs twice his size, it's actually a pretty funny sight to see. I got the chance to doodle him when I got really sick over the summer, I was laying down on my couch and I was dying of boredom, t.v. wasn't doing it for me, so I grabbed my rendering notebook from class and tried to use the skills I learned in class with my dog. How did I do it? well pnut is a silly little dog and very loving whenever someone is sick he never leaves their side. He jumped up unto my legs and laid down and this is what he was doing just starting at me and smiling, after a while he got sleepy and just fell asleep so I couldn't finish, but this little guy made me get through the day. :)

Puppy Dog Eyes...

So today was a pretty cold day, I got out of school early came home and sat down at the table to eat. I practically had nothing else to do and I really felt like drawing today, I've been doing some doodles in my history and art history class which I know I shouldn't be doing I should be paying attention in class but I cant help it!!! And doodles don't count as drawing soooo next to me on the table was this blank piece of paper and my lead pencil. I looked around to see what I could draw and the next thing I  knew my dog started playing with my feet, which to her meant "hey human give me some of that food your eating!" She gave me this stare...it's a stare that I cannot say no to so I gave her a little piece of chicken, but then she didn't move she just stayed there with that STARE. So I decided to draw her since she wasn't moving and it seemed pretty silly to me that she thought that by her staring at me like that would mean more food flying down her way.  Just try to say no to that face and those big bug eyes.

IF... Resolutions

So this word of the week for illustration friday is resolutions! Everybody should be familiar with the word and meaning of it. We think about it the last five minutes before the countdown to the new year begins but throughout the year most of us forget about them or just give up. This idea came to me when  I woke up and I heard my friend Kris say to me once, "Alba just grab the bull by the horns" I know its cliche but its excatly what I will do this year grab the bull by the horns and I will not let go. This year my resolutions are to transfer to CSULB, get my AA , live a healthier life style, complete all of my educational goals and excel in everything I do I will make my teachers and parents proud. I will also keep on doing these IF's and I will get better :) So this year the bull might be scary,BIG, tough, intimidating and it might make me want to give up and let go, but no sir this year I wont! I will defeat it and conquer it, 2011 is going to be my year!
