Stress relief

Just a few more petals to go, actually 😂 if someone wasn't nagging me to sleep again, i woukd definitely have finished it even if i ended up sleeping in the morning

Hahhaah. True, that is why I said considering the fact you had so much distraction still you managed a good enough quality work 😀

It's more of lazy work. I just neede something to do that didn't require much thinking, that's why i made that drawing. And now that I've finished cramming asem worth of lectures again, it's time to resume drawing

Whatever fits your schedule and as long as you enjoy it

You like water droplet art? Oof too bad wala na ko art na ganyan, I'll just make new ones next time

Yass love those stuffs❤❤❤

The flower isn't done yet. I think I'll just finish it at night. My questionnaires keep waving at me and calling for my attention

Ohh you also know alupihang dagat >w< it's delicious indeed! Specially when just salted or cooked in coconut milk. It's my fabe seafood next to shrimp

I don't know its name but I love when my Mom cook them

It's called sea mantis or alupihang dagat dito lol. Rare to find in manila tbh

I'm not from Manila, but I don't have any idea about its name

Now you know 😂😂😂

Thank you ^-^ but i still need to finish it later on before i go off to study so i don't have to worry about works in progress anymore

The answer is shading and a good pencil. He's more a beat type that hates being told off but keeps yelling at me when he wants something

it takes practice I guess.. i mean the shading...

they can be really bossy, you know hhhaa...

Still feels like lazy art for me when i don't even think about how to shade this

lazy?? when i sketch something that good it shows I'm very energetic ahhahaha... I wonder what you sketch when youre motivated. I bet that'll be so so so so good....😊

These days, all i do is lazy sketches. If I'm motivated, it's colorful and one that needs a lot of changing in the pen or coloring material I'm using but if it's just monotone, I'm lazy then and just needs stress relief

artists change pens during sketching? ohh interesting... i am learning so much in this convo haha maybe you can write an article with 'facts' about sketching or something like that when you're not busy or lazy hehe

Yeah. Like normally i have 3 shades of graphite, charcosl, ball pens, colors that range from lightest to darkest since my hands are so light, i need to use all 3 but if I'm lazy. I go straight to the darkest and just draw using only that like i did with that drawing

oh I see... did you study how to draw or it's something that you're just fond of and have skills with

Both. i think I've mentioned enough that art and creative writing was my depression therapy. When they saw I could draw well, they referred me to an art class then when my neighbor saw i could draw, he provided me models and the extreme art training then gallery and exhibit tours. I hated having to draw nude guys and girls the most in those classes ;-;

but you can draw nude people? i mean it looks hard with all the shadings. hands are hard enough to draw

Unfortunately. It comes with practice. Calling it anatomy study is ridiculous tbh 😂😂😂

Hands are fairly easy though. You just draw mini sausages

hmmmm mini sausages.. i like that idea. i'll try it later hahah

You dooo then lemme see pleeaaseee

i'll try hahaha.

Thank you

For my graduation exam. They're serving as my review materials while I read the reference books. These ones are cheap. I bought a kilo for 3usd and they're enough for 3 meals, actually

Thank you. I wanted to try drawing thise again, recently but I'm not done yet

I can sympathize with your 7 year old. I had a ton of books to go through at that age and so many wssays to write at that age. It juat got more complex as i aged but the amount never seemed to lessen ;;-;;

Thank you 😊 did you see the cute sea mantis though? I find it an amusingly delicious creature

I find the sea mantis scary not cute. I never ate it and doubt I ever will. Why is it that pale? I guess you don't keep it for a pet or?

My 7-year-old ended up depressed and with a broken ego at home thanks to a teacher and we changed schools. Strange is at school is teacher how to sit, stand, lift, the maximum weight children are allowed to lift but those books they drag around are 40 pounds!

It's a relative of the lobster and shrimp so it's that pale when uncooked. But it's so red once it does get cooked

Oof the school change was a hood move then else i can't even imagine how far gone that kid will be in a few more months of that

I never ate those creatures either. Is it cooked alive too? I believe that's no longer allowed with us since it's animal abuse too.

As much as possible, yes. It's sweeter when it's cooked alive but this one was dead by the time i saw in the fish market. Is eating seafood counted as animal abuse?

So the taste is different. That's interesting. I wonder if it's the same with fish, poultry and meat. 🤔

Yuppp it's the same with other meats too but as for fish, there's like... peak hours per fish. Something about basing it on how many hours since the fish has died because at some certain hours, the fish tastes the best but for fish like salmon and those made into sashimi like tuna, the fresher the better because the flesh is softer >w< if it's not fresh then i make it into ceviche

Thank you for the info. These days if I eat fish at all I assume it's always old. There are no fish shoos, no fish is sold on the market and I assume if there's any (it's vacuum wrapped) it's imported and therefore old.

Well vacuum wrapped ones still retain some freshness but yeah, it's better to just cook that in ceviche or cook it in a sauce because it won't have the same texture as fresh ones ;-; which really suck
