Headcase

Okay. I've changed my mind. Instead of posting nudes today, I'm going to post the two sessions of portrait drawing we had recently. So your imagination will be getting no exercise from me today, if you were going to follow along with my diving suit suggestion from last post. Lucky you (Chuana).

We've been doing portrait studies in class recently, but they've been quite tough- with only a 20-30 minutes for each one. I understand why, though. I offered to model for one pose. Well, it's not really modelling, is it? I just sat in a chair looking at the wall so people could draw my face- that means I did not take my clothes off. Perverts. (Ahahaha just kidding, you guys are great.) But anyway, it really hurts you neck. Or perhaps I was doing it wrong?

Most of these are kinda unfinished, and odd looking, but I'm sure you'll get the idea!

Week 13

Week 13

Week 14

Week 14

This week is shaping up to be a fairly busy one, as I have to do a group oral presentation, hand in my final drawing and life drawing submissions, go ring shopping with Sandy (heheh) and work on some illustrations, and there's a lot more things I want to do if I can find the time. But, in the ever relevant and fitting words of Arnie,

"I'll be back."

It's Movember already?

Eggs

Wow. Doesn't time fly? It's going to be Christmas before you know it!

In other news, I have less than three weeks of course left for the year! Not that I haven't enjoyed it, but I'll be glad to have a break. I think mum's a bit angry that I'm not working full time over the holidays, but I have other things I'd like to do instead, and I'm looking forwards to it immensely (assuming I don't get kicked out of home like she's been threatening to for the last few years. Naaaaah...)

Also, I owe a bit of an apology to the people coming in search of nude sketches: I've been slack with photographing my work lately, I promise I'll do it this week, okay? And an apology in advance to those certain people *winks* coming in search of anything but naked people: I actually mean my previous promise. If it makes you feel any better though, you can always squint and imagine they are wearing diving suits.

Anyway, love you all! Happy Movember!

Well, you know me...

That's right, I've been busy again. No surprise there. But, instead of apologising, why don't I just show you what I've been up to instead? Will that make you feel better?

Well, that was rather long, wasn't it? Oops. Oh well. Anywho, what you just scrolled past in order to be reading this is my "portfolio" of work done at course so far this year. Because it was one of our assignments to make said portfolio, I thought I'd do something a little eclectic- since I'm sure I'll be returning there to study next semester. If you know me, this is a big deal. I'm sure you're thinking something along these lines: Whaaat? Kim's making a decision about her study? WTF? There is no way that this is her typing that. IMPOSTOR!!!

But really, it's me. If you want proof, I sound like a primary school teacher when persuaded to read out articles from Cosmo's sealed section, my mother loves her dogs more than she loves me, I'm procrastinating about approx 26.333(recurring) things at the current point in time, and I dance like a whorish albino black chick. Definitely Kimby. So what's with the whole sudden-ability-to-make-a-decision-thing?



I'll let you know when I do.

It's my birthday...

That's right, this is a quick post at 2am on the morning of my 19th birthday. Instead of getting drunk like a normal person, I've just changed my blog's colours and background. Good times, right?

Actually, I had been out visiting people, so I guess it's not as sad as it sounds... Hahaha. I should have a busy day ahead of me, even though I'm not having my party today. I'll throw one later, probably after the uni exams are over... You better get ready, guys!

Current Happy Birthday Tally*: 4


Right... I'm going to bed. Please let me know if there's anything that isn't working, and I shall return in the evening with an update on how my day went, and perhaps some photos, if I can.

Ruby, don't take your love to town.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with listening to Kenny Rogers. Honestly. Or else, I wouldn't have chosen this song:




Ruby, dont take your love to town - Kenny Rogers


As the inspiration behind my second photography brief. No way. I just really happen to like this song. And there's nothing wrong with that, is there? Right?

Ok. Moving right along. I just happened to have the perfect location in mind, for this song. And the perfect props. And the perfect model. So, even though I have very little clue as how to use a DSLR, my photos still turned out pretty well, thanks to everything else being so perfect.

Two Dresses

Decisions

Pensive

Ruby Slippers

Bedress




Now, I'd like to thank some people for their contributions to making these photos look good. You guys deserve an award or something.

  • Thankyou Almost Perfectly Abandoned Shed for being unlocked, spooky, and almost perfectly abandoned.
  • Thankyou, Mr Farmer, for saying it was fine after I decided to break into your almost perfectly abandoned shed, and letting me come back anytime.
  • Thankyou, Grandma's wedding dress, for happily being dragged through dirt, dust, and rusted bedsprings without a word of complaint.
  • Thankyou Chuck for being my lovely model at such short notice, being very patient with my rubbish camera skills, and for your excellent serious face... when you weren't laughing at me.
  • Thankyou, inventors of Photoshop, for reasons previously explained in this post.
I would NOT like to thank my spawn-of-the-devil-ish tripod for deciding to somehow loosen itself between every single shot.

I'm sure Kenny Rogers would be ashamed of you.
