sigh, back to college.
the second term has started this week after a mid-year vacation that lasted for about month and half and it's usually only 2 weeks! and that's because of "security reasons", duh.. shitty country.
Now we're pressured to the extreme, because we should do the same number of projects in much less time
I have to make a folkloric design twice: one neat and one abstract, I have a bedroom to plan, and I have to do a drapery study, besides a friend of mine commissioned me to draw a portrait of her teacher who's been released (they'r capturing everyone who opposes them now, yes it's a military state )
I'm spending more time in the college library now I found pretty amazing books there, about comics and graphic novels and perspective and, well.. many books about many kind of arts
about the graphic novel I wanted to draw, I still can't get the hang of the main character, but I'm trying

I think that's all for now

How to become a good artist!
Hey :D I intend this to be a motivational post about art, with some tips and notes which I hope to be useful to you, I believe these points will make you better and in constant growth as an artist! I'm talking from experience, these things really helped me grow up in the last year more than I grew up during all my life before practicing these!
__
1) Draw all the time! anything, everywhere, doodle, move your hand!
2) Draw from life as much as you can, don't depend on drawing from pictures. Life drawing makes you understand shapes and masses better.
3) Do croquis! sit in your school, college, in the subway and make fast sketches of everyone
BRB
I know it's been almost 2 months since I've last posted. well, it's not like I stopped doing art or something xD it's just due to a problem in my camera's lens and it's being repaired -supposedly-, and I can't take any photos of my recent works, so.. just a little bit more and I'll be posting again ASAP -in shaa Allah-
Oh and I decided that maybe I'll submit my random sketches and croquis drawings.
Graphic Novel??
So there is this AMAZING novel that I read months ago, a great horror thriller written by a great Egyptian writer called Tamer Ibrahim, the novel is composed of two parts: "The Darkness Maker" and "The 23th night". It was just literally outstanding, then I thought: if it's properly turned into manga-like graphic novel it would be super amazing! just who would do that? Hey, why not me? I mean, it will be a great great exercise in itself and will make me exercise more to do it well! So I started off by trying to design the main character, and Oh God it's harder than I thought! even when I get the features I want I can't do them again in differe
2014 resolves
Sooooooo it's 2014 :D
I realized that since I started college (3 months ago) -Fine Arts- I hadn't really done an "Art Piece", you know, everything I've done so far has been required.. So I've decided that I will NOT continue this way :D I will not stop drawing and painting for myself,, actually I never stop :D but it's all just scraps..
So I'll create mooore art work and I'll submit it all here on DA :) I've already done 2 pieces and right now this moment I'm working on another BIG one :D
whether I'm satisfied about it or not I will submit it :)
wish you good luck this year :)
Oh yes and I decided that I will try painting with oils :D
