its 12 am in the morning
and i suddenly miss being an arty farty little kid.
miss knowing my art.

look at these! haha.. so kiddish when i look at it now.. one was pri6 do one OK.
haha... the rest were nafa works from sec 1+2 and my olvl piece..
oh man i miss nafa days.. go there, no stress, draw draw draw.
now i really regret quitting nafa... it was damn fun.

look at the brushes! my best olvl mates :)

believe it or not, this paint has been there for 6 yrs alr. water colour never spoils..
if i put water on it now i can use it like it was bought yesterday :)
wonders of art!

my olvl piggy!

and my fav charcoal pencils... i really love shading.. haha it was the funnest among all the diff kinds of art forms. acrlic paint was hell lah. water clr was too delicate for me :)

i'm damn sad. haha feel like crying. hai...
i dunno what's happening, must be the stress.
maybe i should pick up shading again... after alvls.
i can never forget the joy of stress-free art making.
sitting buy the pond and capturing scenes on my paper...
hahah bringing all our caligraphy ink paper and brushes down to the place where nafa rears all the smelly chickens, chicks, duck, turkeys, tortises, peacocks, dogs and cats to draw..
i still rmb the place was like DAMN SMELLY. hahah have to sit on the floor with all our paint.. OMGGGGGGG.... im damn sad now.
and my nafa friend constance! haha she and i were great friends. always bitching abt this rgs girl whom we didn't like very much :))))

pencils and charcoals are so... i dunno... they look lifeless and boring, maybe because of their colouring (erm black only) yah. but a little contrast, a little shading, tweaks here and there really can bring anything to life.
its so simple and thats why it allows the artist to forget any technicalities that may come with a more complicated medium... it allows anybody without any previous knowledge to just pick it up and draw anything..
thats also why its so difficult to master, you know?
if there's nothing very definite then there's no clear way as to how to improve upon your skill, only experience can bring you to a higher level.

ARGH i need really revisit my art..
ahhh i miss drawing so so so much.
i really don't know how to express my love for art. (the non examinable kind)
i miss having someone tell me my mistakes so i can work on it..
every week for at least 3 hours... (and more)
just sit there, in the room.. away from the world,
with only me and my brushes and pencils.

never knew how much i loved it till now, way it moulded me into the person i am today...
actually when i look at myself, i can really see how art has developed my character.
can't imagine what i'll be like now if it never happened.
aw mannnnn... haiii... i reall need to start drawing again.
