This weekend was such a loungin', relaxing, somewhat-productive weekend. The benefits of having really shit weather is that neither one of us wanted to step outside in the cold crazy winds, large raindrop showers and cold, and grey ominous skies.

What did we do all weekend? Haha. Like I said, loungin' and relaxin'. We were up so late on Friday playing Grand Theft Auto 5. I have to say it's a fun game. I didn't really play per se but I got to roam around a bit and randomly punch some people haha. I watched my fiance play quite a bit and it's pretty fun to watch. A friend of his and him played all night and we were up until 4am. So that meant Saturday was a write-off. We were up late again on Saturday because UFC was on with some pretty good card fights. The most I moved around was cooking some lunch and dinner for us. Really good chicken ... mmm ... glad there are leftovers for me to eat tonight.

In the midst of all the game playing and lounging was more drawing. I am on a roll! I managed to finish one of my art projects that I am quite proud of. I took my sweet time with it and I have to say it really shows when you do. I carefully planned out everything (well almost everything). This particular one, I had the cherry blossom branch done a long time ago because I was originally designing it as a tattoo I would possible have for myself then I thought about it because I wanted to change it and ended up using it for an art project. Check it out. This is my progressive work then the final product!


My Work In Progress


The Finished Product - "Spring Beginning"
I did that in a matter of two days and already got myself started on a new one. I actually had an original of this one but the look is incredibly different and I wanted to make it look nicer with a different style. Plus ... I can't find the original. It's somewhere in my parent's house along with other artworks that I cannot find (which pisses me off). One day I'll find it. Here's the progress so far ...


Blue Breeze - Work in Progress
So I have been drawing a lot lately and it's nice. I even set myself up an instagram account just for my artworks just so I can keep track of what I am doing and it is separate from my personal life. My user name is sharbarart if you would like to check it out. I tried to post whatever I could into with all the artworks that I at least have in my folders on my computer and wow ... I didn't expect such a welcomed response. I had so many likes that I guess it was an ego boost to my drawing skills. Looking through all of them and seeing the progress made me realize that I have improved a lot over the years. I was always so scared to draw something really nice because I was traumatized back in highschool.

I had a sketchbook that was my PRIZED POSSESSION. It was some of my BEST WORK EVER. For something at that age and just a beginning to my art days, I had never felt so proud of myself when it came to drawing. It made me wish I had a scanner or something back then but they weren't around much at that time. Anyways, I took it to school one day and the damn thing got stolen!!! I knew EXACTLY where I put it because, of course, I loved it so damn much and it got stolen. Ever since that day, I have been scared of drawing something incredible and still am to this day. That's why when I do draw something "nice", I take a photo right away or scan it. I'm slowly getting back into it again and maybe one day I'll do some commissions and make some money. Maybe that could be the side business that I have always wanted to start ... Sounds like the only logical thing at this point because all of my other ideas don't make much sense to me.

Anyways ... That's my weekend and my update on my passion in life ... art.
