| 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. |
