Do Nots. 

Just another pun. 

A mug from my glamorous cup collection.

One thing my sister and I do for fun when we speak 

to each other is we say certain words wrong on purpose. 

One such example is

Donuts are Do Nots.

Do you or do you not want Do Nots?

At times if I get too comfortable I can slip into saying things wrong

 either the person I'm talking to has no idea what I just said or is entertained by 

the way I pronounced that particular word.

Someone once gave me so much grief for the way I say skittles the candy. 

Apparently I can't say the word properly.

Here is my initial first sketch.  Didn't care to render the image to 

completion. It's something how certain things I disliked doing in art school 

actually I enjoy and highly encourage.

I used to get so annoyed when you had a brilliant idea and then the teacher was like we'll 

your first idea isn't the greatest do it over again. Drawing something over and over

or exploring different ideas with the subject can open the possibility of coming up with a even better composition and idea. I find it fascinating and a sense of wonder and awe

getting a better understanding of what I am drawing. 

When I was sketching this 

Delight Disco 

by Humming Urban Stereo 

came up on my playlist.

After that the title just stuck. 

Totally sounds like Didn't like disco~Didn't like disco.

Materials Used:

Tombow Water based Marker

Watercolor

Copic Marker

Prismacolor Marker

Prismacolor Colored Pencils

Col-erase pencils for sketching

Photoshop Cs6 for resizing/editing images

Scanned Image in the computer.

Resized the sketch to be bigger and darkened the lines in Photoshop.

Once that was done I printed out that copy to trace over on the light box.

I draw extremely light and its barely visible.

This is a little lighter than normal because marker and watercolor mediums are more transparent and I didn't want the contour lines to be the main focus.

Used a 2h pencil to get light but hard solid lines. 

           

To hasten drying time used my portable space heater.

The hairdryer I usually use has been broken for awhile.

The reference photo is something I've taken.

I've been caught in compromising postsions when taking reference photos.

One of these days I'll have to post about this one particular story.

Propped this up on my easel to get another perspective and look at the image from a distance.

When you have time whether its personal work or commission. I like to have things sit for overnight or a day or two to just 

After matting and framing my picture I test the wire by hanging it

randomly someplace in my house.

Tada! 

Finished.

Well another year of surviving the Valentine's day apocalypse. Where love is grossly displayed in a material way. Without fail in my twenty six of life and its become a self fulfilling prophecy and always aligned I never had a boyfriend on Valentine's day nor gotten anything from a guy before. I'm always single around this gap of time. Alas if I like someone they aren't interested in me. Instead they like someone else or I'm not noticeable to person of interest at all. Although Cupid has a sick sense of humor. Only guy I noticed that likes me right now is someone several years older who looks like my uncle and I just can't get past that. Sigh love don't love me. I just want a sexy guyfriend to motive me. None of my guy friends are sexy or really motivate me tremendously.

My friends tell me to quit moping around and being materialistic. It's overrated. They should treat you right everyday.

Oh well I mope around some and then feel fine. Guess thats what cheesecake and video games are for at times. Except I didn't have any games to play so I watched Game Grumps Let's play Doki Doki Literature club which is actually a horror game in disguise.

Anyways there is the day after so when in doubt buy a squishmallow! or two.

They are comfortable, soft and cute. ;3 And I put them on my chairs. 

They create an inviting atmosphere to the workplace!

The other day I was rewatching Game Theory's: Theorists are KILLERS (Life is Strange)

One of the main take-aways from Mat Pat's research is depending on your personality type it is an indicator and most likely the determining factor of would you kill Chloe in Life is Strange the
video game.

The Myers-Briggs type indicator is a test that categorizes personality types within sixteen categories.
It takes no more than fifteen minutes.

And it is spot on accurate.

My personality type is INFP-A which stands for Introverted Intuitive Feeling Perceiving -Assertive.
Named the the "Mediator" or "Healer" in the Diplomat category.
It is quite interesting. Alarmingly spot on.
I only met one other person like myself in terms of personality. Or I take after that person. I have lived in a lot of places and met numerous people. That's saying a lot.

Even the subtle nuances of myself I thought was just my personal thing is common within my type.

One nuance the Myer's Briggs remarked I can and be difficult to truly get to know. Which is true. An  example would be if someone is persistent and pries into getting me to tell them one of my secrets, I never tell the whole story at once. Always a part of it. I test the waters and gauge their reaction and over time tell the entire story. Another key point I found fascinating is the type of best friend I have. It does not make any sense but it works and is harmonious, being around an extraverted explorer and I'll add on the fact she happens to be my former elementary school bully.

When I saw the illustration for my personality type..

I was like wow this is probably what I look like to

other people; care-free frolicking around in my 

unencumbered natural

environment. 

 Here are a few points of my personality type.
There is a lot of information separated in eight plus parts.
Which I won't post all of it.
