 Spring is coming. The weather is getting warm and sunny(though winter was not harsh this year). While waiting for flowers to bloom I completed this blog entry. Eventually the artworks are already finished a while ago. These ones took me quite some time. Not because it was so hard to draw and paint but rather, I had some changes in my situation. I don’t want to explain this in detail but roughly, I had to choose what to do and where to stay. After lots of overthinking, I decided to return home, at least for a while, because I missed my family and friends. Last year I barely saw them, so I decided to come back home and spend some time with them. That is why the second redraw took a while to finish. I think it took 3 weeks to complete but it actually took like 6-7 hours to finish. This redraw includes this sweet, sweet lady. She is so adorable and charming. There is nothing I want to change about this sketch, I just need to add a fitting background. Sketching part was rather ...

Girl with yellow clothes - 2

  While working on the 3rd redraw, I got stuck. The original sketch is very cute and redrawing it unfortunately makes it lose its aura. I tried to implement it as good as I can but somehow, it wasn’t satisfying me. Then I moved to another one, and guess what, I was stuck again. The problem with this one was that it was intimidating to colour it. For one last time, I decided to paint with gouache and it was very regrettable decision. For the last time, I saw gouache is not for me, wet mediums are so frustrating for me. Then it was best to give myself some time to ease stress I cast upon myself (It is just a small painting, come on). While the two projects remain unfinished, and while I laid on my bed to sleep one night this vision just came to me. A girl with yellow clothing before a full grey background. I am not any kind of oracle but most of my ideas just come from these sudden images that appear in my head. Vision comes to me and I transfer it into this 2d paper world. Instead...

First redraw - 1

Image
  There it comes the first redraw. First, let me show you the sketch. That’s literally just bunch of umbrella hairs and a sad face. I didn’t even bother to draw the arms. The rest of my sketches are made with simple graphite pencils, but this one is not. The pinks you see is chalk. The black is supposedly dry pastel. I used to buy art supplies that I use two or three times (I still do it sometimes.). This is a very unimportant sketch. My skills were low but still some of my old stuff has some appeal. I don’t exactly remember why I included this one to be redrawn, yet I am glad I did, because it turned out nice. My initial mission for this piece was to keep the saddened face and the hairs (for that it is only made up of these). So, I made small sketch to just to begin and the rest just came naturally. I made a second small sketch for reference. In the second one, the hair is made of these long ribbons. Some of them are in spiral form and some of them are broken but most of them ...

Brand new art blog - 0

This is a new art blog. If you choose to read my blog you will have the chance to read about my processes, artworks and metarials. That is simple. But let me tell you about my art journey so far to provide you some context. I have been drawing for a long time and I have been painting for a while (I didnt start painting immediately when I started drawing.). I think it's been 8-9 years, but I don't know exactly how long. Honestly, even though I know, I wouldnt like to share the actual lenngth because its kind of ashaming to spend such a long time on a hobby but accomplish nothing. Of course, every year my skills got better and ı was able to get out of my shell, but the point I reached was neither enough for me nor to the other people. At the beginning of last year, I was very frustrated because I draw only to remind myself of how unsuccessful I am. I just didnt want to continue this pursuit. But the thing is, I just cannot leave something that I have spent so much time on. I ca...
