I’m back and I see you

Did you think I got lost?

Well I didn’t, but I did get run down and needed rest and I can’t seem to shake this cough. *bleh*
We also rented a load of movies over the weekend (see below for the list if you’re interested)

and I bought a Japanese Sony player with videoplayer so I’ve been messing around with that.

I did however, sketch out a quick piece for you all this evening.

I’m thinking of starting a self-study, so I took a bunch of face shots and tonight’s piece is a comic-book-ized version of my eyes.

Nothing much

by Amanda, posted in Abstract, Uncategorized

Not much to report today.

I’m still sick and coughing my brains out but I did still manage to worked on 2 more preliminary sketches of friends to abstract this weekend.

I’m not going to post them however, because they’re still pretty rough.

I might have time to do one of them tomorrow night, if not I’ll definitely get them done Saturday barring any unusual happenings.

I also have a Japanese calligraphy class on Sunday which should be fun. This will be my 4th or 5th class. 😛

Stay tuned in, I’ll be sure to be posting a bunch more in the next few days or so.

Till then keep giving me feedback on my previous posts!

Night!

I was browsing through my old pictures and came across a photograph I took of a friend.

I liked it, and thought it would make a nice abstract.

So here it is.

“Thought”

I hope he doesn’t mind. 😉

Also, I wanted to post a song with this piece but dang it all I can’t remember the title AND the one person who could tell me isn’t online.

Oh well *shrugs*

Cheers!

Just a note that I’ve found the MP3 to that song I wanted so here’s the link.
