A painting of Julia!

This painting I did sitting right next to Julia but never let her see this, I think i got it done the following day but was still deciding on the light since originally it is a low key ambient painting. So Julia Im putting this up here now, I loooove yews and I hope you like it. Also putting up my crappy process for it aswell :B

Graduation!

I'm Finally done from school! Four years from now I started my journey at the academy of arts. Coming from Pakistan having a language barrier, culture difference, home sickness feeling, missing my friends and coming from an engineering background, let me say IT WASN'T easy AT ALL!!! However I overcame it all slowly and steadily and worked really hard to the point I got carpal tunnel which is not good. I'd like to thank all my awesome teachers for helping me, especially Craig Nelson for bearing me while I ate his brains xD. All the awesome people I met here who were and remain my inspiration thank you Evan Davies, Richard Healy, Alfredo, Hannah Stephens and Diane Wu for looking out for me yesterday when i was in lots of pain T_T thanks guys! On that note i will post my very first drawing which i did 4.5 years from today when I was about to start (I was 17 then and I was so proud of myself lol) school so everyone can have a good laugh at me, and i thought I was good. This is fanart of ff12 btw.

Also I'm working on this personal project and THIS serves as the cover page for it. I'll upload other stuff I have maybe tomrw. There are so many things I did but unfortunatly I cant post them up because they are amazingly crappy

the work flow for this

Illumination led the way

Asusual have been super busy with everything going on, work, school and family relative. So im juggling everyting at one, its kinda fun keeping me busy. This is what I did from my narrative painting and my teacher was Craig Nelson, who is awesome. Finally did the final touches on these and here it is. :) Hope everyone is dong AWESOME!

Kooooorrrrrrrrrra because Julia asked!

here is a Korra Fanart i did last year! Its surprising to see how my style has changed so much since i last painted this. Anyways Im updating BECAUSE julia asked! muhahaahah here you go Julieeee!

Too tired

This was a collab I did with Gue last year, but we never completed it. So hard to work with that guy!!! so hard! sooooooooo very much..............zzzzzzzzzzzzz

Sketches from hof

So now I have a house full of relatives, it's really fun and I finally got to meet my nephew. He is the cutest evvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvver! T-T I love him soooooooooooooooo much. Other than that I haven't been working much. I found out that I might be at the ape convention selling stuff for the first time.....................soooooooooooo sccccccaaaaaaaaaaarrrrreeeeeeeeyyyyyyyyy!!!!! I have no idea what to do for that, so i also need to figure that out. Lots of thinking and work to be done. I'm looking forward to that, I've never been to the Ape before. Hopefully i get to meet some new and cool people. :)

Summer paintings

Some stuff from summer, Finally got to do some portraits in oils, always wanted to do some but never got the chance to, so here you go. :B The workshop at the academy of arts was super fun and I enjoyed it alot and definitely learned alot too. Now I want to DRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWw more.

And pieces that are in my things to do folder.........

I just keep on forgetting that I need to keep this blog up (^-^''). There are so many things that I have. Whenever I start them, I'm like I'll finish them aaaaaaaaaaaaand that day never comes. I did these in May this year but never got to finish them, hopefully this break, I can finish these. I wanted to do this portrait of Audrey Hepburn, simply because I love her and she is awesome. I was watching "The Nun's Story" with my mum and then I wanted to paint her. I took 2 photos and did the sketch from those and then started to color. Here I'm about 1 hour maybe a couple more minute in.

Then I started Korra, because I couldn't wait for the show to start and I wanted to do fanart, since I haven't done those in a long time. I started this and never finished because things were turning out really wrong. I never do characters with block ins and thats what I did here. I started this one with a block in and I confess IT WAS A BAD IDEA!!!!! she started turning out ugly and out of proportion, sooooooooooo I did a quick sketch and left it there. But I'm promising myself that as soon as this semester ends I SHALL FINISH THESE.....even though I'll be having a tons of relatives over ;-:......things are always hard for me *sniff* *sniff* lol ....Oh well back to work for me, soooooo many relatives always visiting and distracting me.

This semester definitely gave me alot more challenges, which were super hard for me to phase T-T Im glad its over and hopefully the next ones are better than this one. I didn't get enough time for workshop or meet people this semester..... Yes I was anti social and seemed super angry according to alot of people (which I wasn't. It was just alot of sleeplessness. I hope everyone else had an awesome semester. Too all my great super inspiring graduating friends, Good luck on your journey ahead, you guys are awesome and I know you guys will do great!
