Charcoal & Pastel

My favorite mediums! Charcoal, like i said before, has to be THE most forgiving medium that I have ever dealt with. Its awesome. I used to always do sketches in pencil because I loved the ability to erase and you cant do that with paints or crayons or anything else I had used. I also loved colored pencils for the same reason. In my opinion part of being a "good" artist is not necessarily being able to make something perfect and exactly how you want it, but to have the ability to cover up those mistakes and make it appear that you never made a mistake in the first place.

Well I said earlier that I was goin to try and have some more drawings up so I guess I better get on to that. I feel like I've ranted enough for now. And why not start with some made with my favorite, charcoal. :D

This one is a portrait of my fiancée. Love you baby!

This one I just sat down and started doodling and it evolved into something pretty cool I think.

And this is a landscape from my school.

And then there is more or less charcoal's color equivalent, chalk pastels. I love chalk pastels, aside from the horrible smell of course. Buh.

Anyways. Another landscape.

And this one I found interesting. Another landscape but the colors are inverted O.o

Well I hope you enjoyed the post today. I figured I would give you a big one since I'm not sure how much I will be on in the next 2 weeks. I'm going on vacation to visit my dad and I don't think I will have internet. >.< Crazy right? Who doesn't have internet in this day and age? Oh well... Anywho.... Thanks for reading and I'll be back whenever I manage to find a hotspot. lol

Who Doesn't Like Poetry?

I don't see how a single person on this earth could actually say they hate poetry. At least somewhere deep down inside there has got to be at least a seed of liking for some form of poetry, even if its not what we normally think of as poetry. I've heard many people say that they don't like poetry or poetry is for the weak. But to be honest most of those people have probably never tried writing for themselves. Idk. Maybe poetry isn't their thing but writing is one of the best ways I've ever found to get what I have to say out rather than keeping it bottled inside. Its on paper or the computer screen in front of you. And even if you never share what you wrote with anyone it makes the world seem brighter and load you carry just a little bit lighter.

Well thats enough of a rant for today I think... How bout you? lol

Anyways. Speaking of poetry, I found a few more older short poems.

Head Games

Fantasized, Dramatized, Reanalyzed

By the mind; Victimized

In the corner timid

Thoughts all too vivid

Love, Hate, Confusion

Is it all an illusion?

The Storm Inside

Storm of emotion

Like a raging ocean

Inside of me

Churning and burning-

     Unceasingly
