~Challenge~ I saw this challenge on FB and decided to do it too. It was only art, but I made a personal one as wel just for fun. π The first portrait drawing is from 2010 and the second one is last year, 2020. π Not bad but could be better. π
@adoniis in September 2021
~I was thinking...~ I don't think I will reach 1BCH this nor the next year. π€ I was thinking about my bachelor thesis and also about the artwork that I'd like to create and I think I will need the BCH from my wallet for that. I have a certain idea in my head and it won't be cheap. π I'd like to get some of my game screenshots printed and I'd like to place them into some 'gold' vintage looking frames (almost like on the picture here) so it would look like an expensive artβ¦
~Masterpiece~ I never even dreamed about seeing Van Gogh painting in real life, but I did and I'm so grateful for that. π The only thing I'm sad about is that we were in a rush and because of that I couldn't just stop and look at it properly to admire it for a moment... When was the last time you went to an art gallery or museum? π
I went from this...to this (art and personal challenge) I saw this challenge here on read.cash. It was done by @kushina and I thought to myself "why not to give it a go". So here's my entry to this challenge. π To make things completely clear, it was only an art challenge, but I decided to add something new to it and because of that I created a 'personal' section too. Now let's go. Story behind my art progress Even though today I'd describe myself as a ***hardcore artβ¦
~How are you guys doing this?~ New article is on! It's a description of my art and also personal progress based on "I went from this...to this" challenge. If you'd like to read more about how I learned to draw and also about how I changed over last years, this article is for you. π https://read.cash/@adoniis/i-went-from-thisto-this-art-and-personal-challenge-36c0f62d Also... How are you guys able to write an article every day? π I'm amazed by that! I can't do more than one aβ¦
~And I'm not a hateful person...~ Guys, I can't even explain to you how much I hate spiders! I'm not arachnophobic or anything, I can be in the same room with them just fine but I just don't believe that they are afraid of humans more than we are afraid of them. ππ I was taking a shower and then I noticed a spider just walking alongside the edge of the bathtub like nothing was happening. He scared me so much! π€£ Like helloo, couldn't you just walk somewhere else while I amβ¦
~She's happy~ #adoniis_bunny I've never had a bunny pet, so I'm super confused by their behavior. I can't recognize when the bunny is angry and when it is happy. π Today AmΓ‘lka was biting and doing holes into our bed sheet (we have it here in case she pees) and I thought she is doing it because she's angry or irritated. However a minute after she layed down like this, in a 'sphynx position' and even let me pet her and that means she's really happy and content. It was theβ¦
~Disney drawing~ #adoniis_art #adoniis_journal It's a long time since I shared some art with you... So here's my journal page with a colored pencil drawing. π I did this after I watched the Disney movie 'Moana', because I thought the goddess looks so cool - all green with tiny flowers. What was the last animated movie you've seen? π Have a wonderful day y'allπ
~This house looks like a small castle~ I had my dinner already, I played with our bunny (she's also having her dinner now) and I'm drinking some hot tea. Now it's time to check out some articles that I saved earlier. π After that it's probably bed time. How about you? π About the photo: it's a few years old photo of a beautiful house which looks like a castle to me. I'd like to live there. ππ
~The last paper done~ #adoniis_university I've successfully managed to complete the last paper for this semester. It's a short thesis (12 pages) about "Color theory and its use in cinematography". The paper contains a lot of pictures from movies - Blade Runner, Moonlight, The Grant Hotel Budapest, Glass, Edward the Scissorhands, The Shinning. π I'm really proud of it. Now new semester can begin π - no, please don't, not so soon... ππ haha I have 15 days to relax before itβ¦
~I'm bored~ #adoniis_bunny This is how we chill π My boyfriend is playing some video games and I'm bored. I'm probably gonna read some articles or something. The sock are so funny btw. I only wear them at home π How about you? π
~This is funny~ Haha. Spammers are flooding the comment section of my last posts (even with links to their posts, wow). I guess I'm popular now... π But really guys - this is not really nice of you. π This is my drawing of a crystal. One of a kind even though I have many more saved on Pinterest to draw. π€π I'm lazy. #Art
~I miss this~ I'm feeling extra nostalgic today. I miss my old friends from high school. All the moments we shared together. I'm super guilty that I didn't take any pictures... We didn't even have a proper picture together π This drawing is not mine. My friend draw it, he was excellent in drawing all kinds of characters. Here he had drawn himself and me as I'm eating. He cooked Chinese noodles a few times and brought it to school for us to eat. It was delicious π I reallyβ¦
How I met my boyfriend (part 1/2: The beginning) Hello, my dear readers, today IΒ΄d like to tell you a story about **how I met my boyfriend.** When I think about it it's not some exiting or extraordinary story but because some of you were interested in reading this since my first article here, so I wrote this for you. π So here it goes: We knew each other for a long, long time Even though we are together for 2 and a half years around the time when IΒ΄m writing this theβ¦
~Story about how we met~ Some of you wanted to know how I met my boyfriend. So I decided to write a story about it π First part is already on read.cash: https://read.cash/@adoniis/how-i-met-my-boyfriend-part-12-the-beginning-8d064a3a I wish everyone an amazing day! π
~Rabbits and carrots: The Myth~ #adoniis_bunny When you imagine a rabbit in your head you probably imagine a carrot too. But did you know that rabbits should not eat a lot of carrots? π There's a lot of sugar in carrots and the rabbit could end up with obesity. 80% of rabbits food should be hay (dried grass). So we only give our rabbit a small piece of carrot every day as a treat. For rabbits carrots are just like chocolate to us. ππ
Haha. I have almost 15 articles saved to catch up with your content guys. It keeps piling up, you post so quick, how are you doing that? haha. π I promised myself to read some articles today and comment π
~Oops~ Saved articles are piling up haha. π I need to read today to catch up with your content guys! I have no idea how I will do this once the school will start... π’π Day is too short.
Oh nooo... This looks scary π π why am I scared? Does anyone know what happened? π Did Elon Musk talked bad about crypto?
How I met my boyfriend (part 2/2: Happy end) *I bet you are asking how we ended up together with Thomas after all this?* ***The say that love always finds its way.*** She was not so nice I was so broken after what happened with my online relationship. Thomas helped me very much β he was the first and only person to know what happened and he didnΒ΄t judged me. And he was also the only person I stayed in touch with after high school. It was mostly him who contacted me everyβ¦
~Coffee?~ #adoniis_art Back in the days when I tried to paint with coffee. π It came out pretty good. However it was not easy, because the coffee beans kept getting stuck on my brush and also the coffee was so concentrated my head was dizzy with the coffee smell. π I'm not a coffee lover but I don't mind the smell - the smells is good! but this was too much. π How about you? Are you a coffee lover or not? π #art #painting #coffee #artist
~Love always finds its way~ Hello, I just wanted to let you know that the second part of my article is finished and already posted on read.cash. π If you'd like to know how I met my boyfriend, you can read it. https://read.cash/@adoniis/how-i-met-my-boyfriend-part-22-happy-end-53ccdb90 Take care β€οΈ
~Something different~ #adoniis_art Drawing on black paper with white. I tried this when I was really bored. π When doing this you kind of need to think in reverse (opposite to normal pencil drawing). You need to look for the highlights instead of the shadows. π It was fun.
Traditional Art Check Challenge **Hello my dear readers**. π Today's article will be about another art challenge that I decided to participate in. I've never been fan of challenges like these, because I don't like to fit in. π But since I joined *noise.cash* and *read.cash* community and got in touch with all the incredible artists, I changed my mind and I was like "*why not*". π BUT - you know that I like to change things for my liking, so I changed the challenge fromβ¦
~Neon tree~ I took this pictures while we were in Amsterdam. It's near 3 or 4 museums including Van Gogh's. π The trip was amazing, I will never forget it. The atmosphere of this place is unbelievable.
~Healthy or not? π€~ I always thought that breakfast like this is healthy. But honestly when you look at the packaging of the mΓΌsli... It's just lots of sugar. Haha. So not as healthy as everyone thinks. π At least it's pretty because of the fresh strawberries. π
~You guys are absolutely crazy!~ Thank you so much for all the support and all the nice comments. ππ I will be grateful forever. I love this community. ππ
~Another art challenge done~ #adoniis_art Here's another art challenge I participated in. It was a "digital art check challenge". π But you know me - I don't do digital, so I changed it to traditional. π Which drawing is your favorite one? You can read something about each drawing here: https://read.cash/@adoniis/traditional-art-check-challenge-0725d59f #DigitalARTcheck #artcheck
~The Superman Position~ #adoniis_bunny She's so long when she's laying down. So relaxed haha. ππ On the second photo the position is sometimes called "the Superman position". π She's getting more comfortable with us every day. I need to get her some toys soon so she won't get bored. π
~Notes app~ I'm all about cute things and yesterday I thought that my mobile notes app needs an upgrade. So I downloaded this cute notes with little animals and symbols. π I feel like I won't forget a thing from now on. ππ (it's an Android app, you can find it in the Google Play store under name 'Cute Note DDay Todo')
~Strange day~ Today is a really strange day... Somehow depressing. Time is not passing as quickly as I'd like. I'm sad. I'm bored but can't do anything. Our rabbit bit me for the first time today - it was not hard, just a little dent on my finger... but still - my feelings are hurt. Now I'm just looking forward to sleeping and nothing else. Here's some nice sky that I photographed last year.
~Instagram filters~ How to check if your drawings are realistic enough? Use Instagram filters on them. ππ I did this when we needed to film our introduction video on college and I wanted to show some of my portraits. π In the end I created a short video of using these insta filters. You can check it out here: https://youtu.be/uY8-AWO0xG0
~My semester will look like this~ It's official - my semester classes will look like this. Not as bad as the previous ones so I'm okay with it. It will start next Monday. π π I will have what you can call "Diy class" - we will do tie-dye t-shirts, crocheting, lino-printing etc. Then I will have Narratology, Computer Science, Physical Education and a class about Czech Contemporary Art.
~Diy bunny toys~ #adoniis_bunny I saw one tutorial on YouTube about diy toys for your bunny. So made her this with grass so she can chew on it and play with it. It didn't survived next day. π Bunnies eat a lot of glass - fresh or dried, it doesn't really matter to them π
Haha, I'm receiving tips normally but nothing is going to my wallet since this morning. I even tried to change the minimum payout amount a few times but the money is still stuck. Does anyone know something about this? π noise.cash
~Little things~ #adoniis_journal Just a simple journal page from past before I go to sleep today. π I need to travel to my university tomorrow to complete my last exam, which means I will need to wake up early. The exam won't be hard tho, I just need to hand out my short thesis (the one I told you about - about the colors in movies). See you all tomorrow. π And remember: it's all about the little things in life. π
~Long way~ I have a long way ahead of me. The way to my school lasts 50 minutes by train plus 30-40 minutes of walk. π I hate the walking part because it's all hills and I'm always out of breath when I arrive to the school. π At least it's not raining today. How long is your way to school/work? π
~It's done~ #adoniis_university I'm finally back home from my school trip. All my work was accepted by my teacher and I've got the credits for it which means that my semester is officially closed. π I also talked about my bachelor thesis with the teacher and he liked what I told him. But I need to start painting soon because the painting will be 2 meters big. π π Pray for me. It will cost a lot of money and time. Also, this is my main school building. I think it's kind ofβ¦
~Yesterday's shopping~ Yesterday, besides going to school I also went shopping. I bought some snacks (of course) and also a card for my sister because her birthday will be soon. π After that I saw this beautiful notebook with dots inside and I needed to buy it. I'm not sure what I will use it for yet... but it's beautiful. ππ
After today I'm sure that I will need to withdraw all the money I have saved on my BCH wallet soon (wherever the market is red or green). I was thinking and the bachelor work will be around $150 π... And I will need to pay for it myself. Why are art supplies so expensive? Without noise I'd never get my bachelor's degree. My family is not rich and I can't find work while I'm a student... So I would never finish my studies without noise.
~HUGE INSPIRATION~ THIS IS MY CLASSMATE. And she's a HUGE inspiration for me! β€οΈβ€οΈ She created these big canvases last year to paint on. She's helping me a lot with my bachelor's art project because my paintings will also be this big and I will also need to make them myself. So yeah... This will be me in a few weeks. With canvases bigger than my whole being. I'm scared. ππ I hope I will make it. (Picture posted with her permission.)
~New house~ #adoniis_bunny I made this hiding place from a small cardboard box and she seems to like it. I need more and bigger boxes for her so she can hide and have fun. ππ Haha I guess I'm a bunny mum now. π Because every day I think about how to make her life better and to entertain her.
~Going out~ We are going out to dinner with some friends tonight. I will post some pictures of the food later. π Have a nice day guys. π
~Dinner with friends~ I'm finally posting the pictures I promised you yesterday. π My boyfriend and I went to a restaurant to have a dinner with our friends - @Miska and her boyfriend - so it was like a double date. ππ I enjoyed the evening so much. For a meal I had grilled salmon with mashed potatoes. You can say that the portion is small, but it was just enough for me because I eat very little. π After that we had some drinks.
~What's new?~ First day of school and my train is 15 minutes late. So basically... I don't even know if I will get to my class on time. π
~I'm so tired~ First day of school after such a long time was very tiring. π Even though I only had two classes (but yeah... it lasted 5 hours), I'm totally exhausted, my head hurts and my neck also. I think my immunity is really low after such a long time home... At least the classes seems alright. How was your day guys? π I hope it was better than mine. π
~Cool teachers~ #adoniis_university You just know that your teacher is cool when he uses Discord to communicate with his students and he's sending us these beautiful notes for his lectures. ππ And he also likes to talk about video games! I love him already. On the other hand... The professor who is supposed to be leading my bachelor work is not answering my emails or my text messages for a week now. π π Great.
~Hello~ #adoniis_bunny Hello, I'm AmΓ‘lka and I'm here to steal your heart. ππ She's so cute! I'm always trying to not bother her when she's relaxing but sometimes I can't help it... and I need to take some pictures. I'm sorry. π Also... Did you know that bunnies have the ability to sleep with their eyes open?
6 Reasons why NOT to get a rabbit pet The majority of the users that follow me on *noise.cash* probably know that Iβve got a rabbit (or a bunny) pet quite recently. And because it became a huge part of my everyday life now, I decided to write an article about it. I think itΒ΄s necessary to say that **all the information you will read below is based on my own experience, on my observations and on things I read or watched videos about (on YouTube). So, IΒ΄m no bunny expert inβ¦
~Why not to get a rabbit pet~ #adoniis_bunny Most of you probably know that I'm a rabbit mum for some time now. π°π Well, and I decided to write not so traditional article about rabbits - 6 Reasons why NOT to get a rabbit pet. You can read it here if you are interested π - https://read.cash/@adoniis/6-reasons-why-not-to-get-a-rabbit-pet-98a2cd8c Rabbits are lovely creatures, but to take care of them takes a lot of effort and time.
~Art is expensive~ #adoniis_art I feel so poor now after I made this purchase a moment ago. π And it was all for art supplies for my bachelor's artwork! $60 for paint, gesso and some brushes. $93 for canvas frames and cotton canvas - I will need to make the canvases myself otherwise it would be even more expensive.
~The best rum ever~ I'm all about cheap things and that goes also with food and drinks, but since the moment we tried this rum in a restaurant last week, I can say that this is the best drink I've ever had. ππ₯ This will sound strange, but you really can taste the quality of this rum. π π It's called Legendario. And well, it's pretty expensive... We need to drink it moderately. π Always drink moderately!
I haven't read any articles here for a week or longer... I need to read today and tomorrow. Expect some comments from me soon π
~More school buildings~ #adoniis_university You guys really liked my school building, so here is more. π My trip to school was totally pointless today but at least I had enough time to took some more pictures for you. π In the first picture you can see a little outside theater. We can watch movies outside, how cool is that? It's mainly used when there's some event taking place. π In the second picture you can see 2 square shaped buildings. There are big halls with a lot ofβ¦
~The purchase arrived~ #adoniis_art So... This is 60 dollars in art supplies. Nothing unusual, just a bunch of acrylic paint and brushes. π I will need bigger brushes than this for sure. (I'm sad now.) π I really like the purple (violet) color though. Really pretty. ππ And also the green one. ππ
~Oh no~ Lady from the online shop I ordered from called me on a phone moment ago. She said that the canvas frames I ordered are currently out of stock. π€¦ββοΈ When I was ordering it on Wednesday, they were on stock... They just forgot to change it or something. This means that I won't get the frames till next week. π That's bad. I really want to work on the artworks already. π
~Evening sky~ Sky was really pretty when I was going home from school, so I took a picture. π The sky was more colorful a moment ago but I wasn't walking fast enough... I still like it though. π (The lamps on the photo are creating a frame. π)
~We are not doing this again~ #adoniis_bunny So, we tried to put this harness for "baby bunnies" on our rabbit so we can eventually put a leash on her and go out (or just walk around our place safely). Well, she was fine with it when it was on, because it's very lightweight, but the process of putting it on was a disaster. π She doesn't like to be touched and she was so scared. π’ We are not doing this again! No leash, no harness, it's not necessary and it just cases trauma.β¦
~Traditional Czech meal~ Today we had some traditional Czech meal for lunch. π Fun fact: Majority of Czech families also eat this for Christmas dinner! And what it is? It's a schnitzel (chicken meat wrapped in flour, eggs and breadcrumbs fried in a pan) with potato salad (made with potatoes, mayonnaise, some vegetables and eggs - every family has its own special recipe for potato salad). π I'm not going to lie - it's not really healthy, but it's yummy. π Tell me about yourβ¦
~I love Pinterest~ One of my next project for art class will be based around embroidery. I already created a board on Pinterest for this project and it helped me so much! ππ I love Pinterest, because it allows me to have all my ideas in one place and to add more and more as the project progresses. I'd be lost without it. I think it's an amazing tool for any artist. π
~On my way~ I'm on my way to school again. Some students have a free day today because tomorrow is the 28th of September and the "Statehood day" in Czech Republic. I'm happy that they have a free day, because trains and busses are emptier and there are more seats to sit, but I'm sad and mostly jealous at the same time because on college we have no free days like this EVER! ππ
Hey guys. I have a question for you. Two people asked me about this already and I don't want to confuse you... College/university isn't school for you? π€π€ I'm always saying "I'm going to school" but I mean my college by that. I'd say the same thing wherever it's high school/primary school/secondary school. It's still school for me. It is confusing when I call my college school? π π You don't do this?
~Equipment ready~ I borrowed this equipment from my classmate. It looks scary. π It's basically all you need to make a canvas besides the canvas and frame. Pliers, staple gun and a big brush to apply the gesso. π ... But I'm still waiting for the canvas and frames delivery. I didn't received any new messages from the e-shop yet. π
~Helping my boyfriend~ I'm glad that I can help my boyfriend with his college studies, at least from the beginning. π Although he's studying English and I studied Czech, the basic things are the same because it's still language. It will be different later but now my help will make his studies easier and less stressful. ππ About the photo: this is a wrapped gift and a hand-drawn card i gave him last year for his birthday. π It is cute?
~Home again~ Yesterday, I traveled home to pick up some more stuff for my university projects etc. π This is a road leading from my mum's flat to a train station. I love that there are trees along the way. I'm going back to my boyfriend's place today. This will sound strange, but I'm always happy to leave my home because the environment here is not very friendly. We are always fighting with my mum and my sister and it causes a lot of stress. π Especially because we areβ¦
~Delayed train~ Weather is crap and my train had a huge delay (38 minutes)... because of that I'm traveling for 3 hours instead of 2 hours... I hate traveling. ππ Plus I'm getting hungry and all I have with me is water. Why can't teleport be a thing already? π€π
100 Random Question: Pick & Answer (challenge) Hello my dear readers. β€οΈ I'm so sorry for not posting anything here, but I was so busy because school started (it's my final year on college, so rough), my boyfriend is a freshman on college and I'm helping him with his studies. I need to travel by a train to my university and all the traveling is draining my energy, so I can't really do anything productive... It sucks. π Today, I decided to participate in another challenge.β¦
~Yesterday sucked~ Yesterday was really one of those unlucky days. Fighting with my mum, rainy weather, delayed train and messed up pizza for dinner. Yeah, they messed up our order AGAIN. (there was no tomato sauce π and they added smoked cheese even though we specified on the phone that we don't want it π) I have no idea why they can't get it right. This is already a third restaurant we tried and another disappointment. We are running out of restaurants to try. π How wasβ¦
~Random questions~ I almost forget! I wrote an article recently. It's 10 random questions and part of a challenge. π I'd love for you to check it out here: https://read.cash/@adoniis/100-random-question-pick-answer-challenge-3984b688 I think I will stick to one article a week because I'm unable to do more. π
