Oodles Of Doodles


So, I've been home a lot this week, everyone else in my family has already started school or is at work. ( I start high school next week) which means I've had a whole lot of time to be doodling, reading, and being lazy ( something I'm finding I'm not very good at). I like to be active and doing something. But anyway here are some weekly odd and end doodles!










Have a good rest of the week!

My Type of Collectables



Something you should know about me, I am almost always wearing a pair of Converse. And not till about a week ago did it occur to me to "officially" start collecting my beloved shoes. Because really they had just been sitting in my closet gathering dust, so I  decided to date all of them with the year I "retired" them and put them away. Unfortunately some of my shoes are currently being employed by my younger sister and I could not take them for my collection yet. And any other pairs I had have been long gone, usually taken from me by my mother saying they are much too disgusting to wear in public. (Even worse I'm still age that my mom can do that)

The Woman Who Bled Rainbows




I got to inspiration for this watercolor from a different artist's work. I loved how the colors seem to fade from her, I like to think of the colors as emotions happy pinks, melancholy blues, angry grays, and pleasant greens. It was fun to do, I got to use a lot of my bright watercolor pencils, which was exciting!

Wind in Their Hair





Ok so I'm also little obsessed with drawing people from the back at the moment. Its also fun  drawing them when its windy so I can make their hair flow out in the wind. I like drawing people from the back because it creates almost a sense of mystery to what their looking out at. That part is up to you :)

Portraits



I have a little, maybe big thing for drawing peoples faces. I love it so much! I like how faces can tell you so much about who someone is or what their emotions are. The faces above aren't the greatest but I still decided to post them.  The top is supposed to be Emma Watson with her super cute new haircut but it didn't work out that well. And below her is Ron Weasley. Getting a sense for of my Harry Potter obsession? Yep, I'm just a little obsessed.

The Stein Collection



 A week or two ago my mom and I decided to to take a drive over to San Francisco to see the featured exhibit at the SFMOMA, the Stein Collection. It was well worth the trip. The art and the exhibit in whole was just amazing. The Steins were amazing people and just walking through the collection made you want to transport yourself to Paris in the early nineteen hundreds. It was quite magical. 
The Steins were notorious for investing in upcoming 'modern' artists such as Matisse and Picasso. Did you know that a lot of Picasso's art was done cardboard? It blew me away that cardboard could be so beautiful. Im so glad I got the chance to see the exhibit it was truly astounding!

A very nice day trip to San Francisco   

Hello, I  apologize for my very long rude absence. I have been very preoccupied by many things lately such as lemon cake, my family, and trying to have fun :) Aside from that I'm happy to back and blogging again, and you can imagine how much "stuff" for lack of a better term I have to blog now! Huzzah!
