When my mind is too bogged down to care to listen to words or stories while painting, ..beats have been the answer. Not for everyone, I can imagine, but at times, definitely for me.

I am really happy with how this came out. I was excited for it when i drew and inked it, and I was excited for adding more ink. I TRIED to do a wet on wet technique, where you drop ink onto wet paper but I must've used the wrong type of paper for this, because the ink didn't really do much spreading, too small an area maybe? However, THANKS David Choe, for the inspiration (i will try again later)! Anyway, after that, I moved on to watercolor, and i thought I would do a good job, but I had a hard time with it, and I also may have drawn the facial features in too realistically proportion-wise, and I didn't like it. So, I stopped working traditionally and took a picture of it and worked on it digitally instead. That was going fine, but it still wasn't feeling quite right. I lost inspiration and stopped working on it (I had some video clips, so I put those together into a short video that you may or may not have seen on Instagram). So, I had called it quits and tried to forget about my unsettled business with this piece and I moved on. I started a new watercolor...on paper that, I later learned was not very good quality but I didn't know that at the time, and I began to feel a little down about my work, because I did not like how it was going. I again turned to digital, and continued rendering this new watercolor and began to really love how it was looking. I started feeling better and thought about my latest abandoned piece, instead leaving it unsettled and forgotten I went back to it, this 'bun of mine, and I started working on the digital version of her again. I cut and resized some proportions and soon I started to love it! & here we are! It felt like a long journey.<br />
<br />
At the very beginning of making this, the name 'Bun of the Year came to me. And I stuck with it, even during the times when I wasn't too happy with the piece. Once things were working out better for it, in the digital realm, it looked like she would look good with words on her body. Her tattoos say "I am not fearful" and they just repeat. So! In conclusion; this is the 'Bun of the year, and she is not fearful.

This isn't recent, I mean, it is, but I didnt finish it today. It was a quick one of my doggie girl bunny. She was napping so cutely infront of me as I worked on the floor of my studio space. I was prepping a background for an unstretched canvas I havent started on yet.<br />
<br />
I received some prints in the mail today. BrokeBot partner Aldo, ordered prints of some of my sketchbook pages, from moo online. And they look pretty awesome. They are a first draft/a trial run in a way. For first Friday. They look good, so I am inspired to digitally render further details for the next batch. It was so nice to see my pictures in print form.<br />

<div dir="auto">
Someone saw this painting of my dog I had made, on snapchat, and asked me how much to make one for them. I figured out my price and told them, but they never ended up following up. So if you want one, the price is <span class="money">$60</span>. For watercolor sketch like this one. Paid in full upfront. It would help if your dog or cat or any pet, was also sleeping, in the photo reference you send. Thanks. Does anyone use PayPal anymore? I do. But not in a long time. Email me; brokeneyeball [at] gmail [.] com </div>

Anyway, it was nice to check in. It had been a while. I will return another time, with another finished thing. </div>

After being almost finished in my sketchbook for some time, tonight I "finished it" aka, rendered further details around her face and smoothed it over in general. Watercolor on paper. I still see spots that I could render further, but for now I was pretty satisfied. It looks a lot nicer than when I started with it tonight. Feels good to have painted today after all. I was very tired from my 3 day work week., yesterday involved a lot of standing.</div>

<a name='more'></a>Watercolor. I like how this one came out. It took a lot of layers to get here, but I finally became happy with it. Got his expression the right amount of pensive. Sometimes words cant really add much to anything I can paint. If I was good at words I wouldn't need to paint. thx 4 reading ♡ sc: brokeneyeballCarol Roquehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03861113377970266995noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5714312064159381294.post-23406422294303835912018-11-09T10:57:00.001-07:002018-12-30T08:33:50.049-07:00We Never Talk AnymoreATC size.

<br />
It says, in the bouquet, "but I Love You"<br />
<br />
I made it as an idea for a painting in an ongoing private series called "An Impersonal Way to Deliver a Message" aka, "I'm Not Good at Communicating."<br />
<br />
In other words, it's like, things appear one way, on the surface, but really, you want to tell someone your feelings. Even if you don't know how.</div>
