Motivational Monday

Hello Zombie-corns, nobody likes Monday's lets fix that!

 

Here is your motivational quote for the day.

 

 

 

 

This is very close to my highschool senior quote "If you think you can or you can't your right." I love saying's like these because it is true. If you put limits on yourself then you will never achieve anything. Never put yourself into a box of limitations, you will soon see that you are missing out on life and others will see it too.

 

 

Also be on the lookout for this week's Favorite's Friday I will have an art supply haul up as well as a small ULTA haul.

In other news here is a few projects I've been working on, nothing too big just some playing around.

Hello Zombicorns, nobody likes Monday's lets fix that!

I hope this Monday is a good one for you, hopefully you don't have classes or maybe it's the last one of the semester. Either way the holiday's are upon us, whether it's Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, or the Star Wars premiere I hope that your wallet isn't too sad and that you remember to value the real things that the holiday's stand for.

But here is a motivational quote for your week.

 

 

Also for any of my art followers, remember that during this break to keep making art, even if it's just a sketch. As well as try and find artists, online or in galleries, that inspire you and are similar to your style.  I think I'm am going to try and start doing a sketch/drawing a day. I use to draw all the time and it definitely helped my art and my process but with school and life it's been harder to pull out the sketchbook and pencils. I will keep you updated on my personal projects as they go.

 

I hope you enjoy your week and have a great time with your holiday celebrations!

(late) Favorites Friday

Favorites Friday

Hey Zombi-corns, WOW am I a terrible blogger, but I just finished finals and am home for break so I will try and make interesting posts into the new year.

So my first favorite has been for awhile and it is an art supply.

It's The Masters Brush Cleaner and Preserver. This has come in very handy for oil painting, now you can go with a cheaper solution which would be to use baby oil and simply green but for some reason using that combination was making my softer brushes shed. But this instantly made the shedding stop and I have always enjoyed using this for them. You can also get a liquid version of this if you don't like using the solid version.

 

Another favorite which was a great pick me up from my stupid finals was this eye shadow palette I purchased from BH Cosmetics. This was kind of a Christmas present to myself because I purchased it from their Cyber Monday sale along with a present for my mom.

 

Sorry for the terrible glare but I took these pictures late at night. Here are some swatches in order of row.

 

These shadows have no names but I can not wait to experiment with these, especially with some formal events coming up, i'll also post some pictures of those.

Most of these are satin or shimmer finish and have pretty good color payoff but the few matte colors are a little powdery and not as opaque, but definitaly buildable.

Hello Zombicorns, nobody likes Monday's let's fix that!

Here is your motivational quote for the day.

For me that would be the sound of rain and storms, crows calling out to each other, leaves scraping the ground, and the sound of cars going down the highway.

Also what's been giving me a lot of inspiration are these adorable geometric animals.

I love the simplicity of this totem as well as the color palette. For some reason I have been using a lot of, and finding inspiration in, geometric shapes and foxes in my artwork lately.

Also here's the finished result of my collage.

Favorites Friday!

Hello Zombicorns, let's see what helped me get through this long week.

So sorry for missing posts lately I have been going through some extreme personal issues not to mention school work is crazy right now with this being the last month to get shit done. But none the less I do have some new favorites, finally.

First off is a new foundation I have been using.

This is the Clinique beyond perfecting foundation+concealer. Lately because of stress and diet I have been breaking out A LOT, I didn't think it was my foundation because I had used it before, it was a drug store brand. But during the homecoming game on Saturday my mom suggested I get a new one and it be from Clinique. I've used their concealer before and I have to say that this is brand is the best for my skin. I have extremely acne prone, dry, pale skin and Clinique has never broken me out or clogged my pores. This has a very smooth satin finish and the added concealer in it means I don't have to use tons of product, which is amazing because it means I spend less time on my face in the morning. 

Next favorite I would have to say is this amazing season. It finally feels like fall here in Oklahoma, which means rain and fog, but I absolutely love it. I love the colors of the leaves and the crows that seem to bring the weather with them.

And probably the biggest favorite of right now is my ever supportive fraternity family of Kappa Kappa Psi: Gamma Theta chapter. I don't think I could've gotten through any of this without all of them. They are a constant inspiration in everything they do and strive for and I wouldn't trade them for anything. 

Lastly I will leave you with some in progress shots of some of my classwork.

Here is your motivation quote for the day.

 

And another from one of my favorite artists.

 

 

Also some things that have been inspiring me in my art.

This picture of Pablo Picasso is a great example of a project we have in my drawing class.

 

 

And a lot of white stags that ignite the elven heart in me.

You can find all the sources of these images in my inspiration board on my pinterest page, which is linked below.

 

Also something that has been super inspiring is a game for mobile devices called Monuments Valley.

 

This Game is absolutely gorgeous and also has an amazing soundtrack, and its free through amazon, these are some screenshots I took from my gameplay.

I absolutely love totem.
