Penta!

I can't recall if I ever posted this, but this is my first official pentakill in a pvp game!

And then I did it again yesterday with my favourite, Akali! Hehe!

When You're On My Mind

One thought of you
Can stop the entirety
Of the world.

Association

Listening to your song,
Always elicits
Always triggers,
Those feelings in me.

To Get Over

It's a pulling away of,
Where my bones are made of metal
Pressed against a bed made of magnet,
And every attempt I make
Is a struggle
Flesh-tearing,
Bone-shattering,
And in the tear-muddled, sweat-muddled blood,
All I'm reminded of
Are the choices I've made
And I laugh, so loud,
It shakes the silence,
But when my laughter dies down,
I am still stuck with the same thoughts,
And I wonder when I'll be able to escape,
And leave behind what is keeping me here.

Douglas

So after drawing Angelina Jolie, I decided to draw my friend, Doug. On my list of ideas to draw, I wanted to draw a person smoking. Though the picture I used of him had cigarette smoke in it, he wasn't smoking-smoking. So I might have to do another. Anyway. I had to look at his stupid face for like two days and discovered all these flaws on his stupid face. Hahaha! :P I'm just kidding... Anyway, like Angelina Jolie, Doug has very good bone structure. I think I got his nose point-on, but everything else is pretty eh. Especially his eyes. I can't do realistic eyes! The first time I finished his face, I thought I was done until I held it up and really looked at it. ...it was pretty contorted and I was like, "Fuck. Now I have to redo his entire left side." And this was the result. I still need more practice with drawing human things. This is with the smoke added-in. I ended up using charcoal for it... it's difficult because in the picture the smoke was white, but I don't want to do more shading with the rest of the picture... so yeah.

The bigger, brighter picture. I also softened the edge of the smoke...

Pencil & Paper

So now that I have a lot of free time, I've decided to start facing my fear of drawing human subjects. I chose Angelina Jolie because she has a very structured face. Very angular and standout features. It was only coincidental that I started this doodle on her birthday. And surprisingly, it only took me two days to finish! Comparing it to the reference photo though, there are many dissimilar areas, but I think this is pretty good for a first try! Even though her face is kind of lopsided. OOPS.

I think what I found most difficult is getting the angles and proportions right. And the thing I enjoyed most was shading.

This and the next three doodles came from my daily doodle book. This one kind of scares me. Because it's so dark. I originally had her with large, wide-open, petrified eyes. But then I decided to change it, to now, where she is blindfolded. This piece was inspired by the fear of everything that's written over her mouth that's keeping her from speaking her mind, from expressing herself.

I was gardening the other day and there were these beautiful succulents in the garden. And so naturally, I wanted to draw them. I sort of gave up drawing it properly some time during it and so it ended up looking like that. Otherwise it'd be more 3-D... and... plump, I guess, as succulents are.

Bleeding butterflies. This one is in accordance with my "de papillons" theme.

And this one, is my homage to Vanessa Ives, the female protagonist of this TV show called, "Penny Dreadful." I enjoy the show and I admire this particular character in it. This is her sign. I felt like I could relate to her for a while. I guess that's why I like her. Oh, and this doodle is the only one that doesn't fit the title -- I did it in charcoal. Lovely medium. Smudging it can be so fun and cathartic and messy. Just lovely.
