Serious People

I think the only way anyone can ever be sane, is by having balanced expressive harbors.

For example, have disagreements with the organization, tell the organizers. Have disagreements with issue, debate about it. Have something to say to friends, have a party and get everyone together. Talk about feelings. Yuck.

Still feel stuck? Well, try taking a very detailed task...cooking might do the trick. Or cleaning. Or you can just be exclusive and join the rest of us who find a safe harbor in making up really bad pictures and figures...and let people call it 'art'. Haha.

I was serious when I said I wanted to learn portrait drawing. I did four...and oh God, I so suck at drawing real life things. I keep trying to change the shape of the eyes or the tone of the skin and stuff. I don't know. It's been hardwired in my head to stay abstract and complicated for life.

I'll only show two so-called-portrait-drawings...and one err...?




I was bored with doing the 'right color' and the 'right tone' of skin and all that. So I end up with the left picture of disfigurement. 


I couldn't help myself. 

I don't know what people have against portrait drawing. But I figure it would have been a very useful skill if I ever could do one properly. I try to follow you tube and art blogs. And don't worry, I've been preached a gazillion times about drawing human faces- I don't hang them anywhere and worship them whatsoever. 

There was even once someone asking me why they don't cover their aurah- and I'm like, where? Looking at the girls, for a girl myself, you see... I'm kinda allowed to see girl hair. So according to me, there is nothing wrong. And if men have a problem- well, you really need to get yourself checked. Seriously people? I didn't even do full body mode. In my head I see girls without their hijabs. Relax. No dishonor intended. Sheesh. 

People get so serious about such trivial things. I'm having fun here. It's called practice. 

I am serious about learning these drawings, but I can't stop laughing at how badly skilled I am. Seriously. Haha.
