Bamboozled: Getting Back to Business

I cannot believe I've neglected my blog for so long! I'm finally back at home; the past two weeks were filled with all-nighters for finals. No matter how early I study for something, I always feel too anxious to have a normal sleep schedule during finals week! Needless to say, you can expect to hear more from me in the next few days-- Sorry for the unannounced hiatus!

Here's an updated version of the (still in progress) "Air" painting:

I really like it and can see what I want to do to take it to the next level. The colors are still a little off because I was using F.Lux at the time, but it's nothing Photoshop can't fix. I'm hoping it'll involve some kind of lace texture, pinstripe, and glow. However, I have some bad news, mainly for myself: In my hurry to pack for my flight back home, I left my drawing tablet, art supplies, and watercolor paper in the dorms! I'm really upset about it because I was planning on doing a lot of fun things for the blog over winter break like holiday tag printables and whatnot. I will probably attempt to make something anyway and scan it, but it's going to take a little longer than normal. It makes me so sad to think that I could've caught up on so much painting that I haven't gotten a chance to do! Sigh. All I can ask is that you be patient with me. In the meantime I'll be putting up pictures of Christmas Party and whatnot, which was super fun :)

Hope your holidays are coming along swimmingly! I'm so excited to finally start mine!

Watercolor Fantasies: A Sneak Peek

The title of this post is a little phrase that's been stuck in my head for ages; it might make for a good band name or something, but I have no idea where it came from! 

A little bit of the watercolor work I've been doing as of recent. Some of them are likely going to make it into the shop, but they're all still in their first raw edits and are going to have other drawing elements added, as well as text! I can't decide on whether I want them to be stickers, prints, or tags yet. The only one near being done is the cupcake one, but I decided to cut it to show a little peek of it for now!

It was my first time(s) using watercolor and I loved it! It's cool that you can always change it by adding water, and how the colors bleed into each other, creating a dreamy vibe. It's definitely a medium that I want to use more of in the future.

Hope you all had a good weekend!
