...And the movement of your eyes. You are such a brown eyed person yet you posses blue. The very way they move is off, as though when they go to their outer corners as they often do, they are pondering the very edge of visiblity, for what I cannot say,

Blink Reflection

I usually had difficulty responding to the prompts visually because I get very embarressed at my drawing prowess, or lack thereof, and I never could figure out what to draw. I would then just go very weird and over the top, disguising my shortcomings with abstract-ness. The writing came much simpler, because it always has. Throughout the progress though, my writings got much more playful and less serious, though I would say that is due to the fact that in the first couple weeks of the projects I was in a rather angsty funk.

The first prompt I did was quite literal, for the picture, and then the drawing was quite related to what I drew. I wrote about going to a party in Santa Cruz with the guy I had a crush on but decided to stay in Santa Cruz and let him go home alone, because he had work the next day. I felt really bad about it, but he told me later about him seeing the most marvelous clearings of fog, illuminated by the full moon. I tried to draw what I imaged it looked like, seeing as it fit rather well with regretful.

My favorite prompt was isolation vs. solitude, because I love the juxtaposition and subtle differences between the two. I was not a huge fan of my work for that project but I just love the internal debate that those two words cause.

My favorite materials would be acrylic, because I love acrylic paint I took risks in the marker assignment by using a color of paper that could really have looked good or bad, but no in between. It ended up looking quite awful, but I accepted it as a risk I took but didnt turn out how I wanted it to. I took risks in the charcol by trying to go for more realistic, something I’m not very good at, but ended up with it being quite better than I had imagined.

My line quailty is quite consistent, and in mediums it is quite easy to see what is mine. In prisma pencils, the way I draw and shade things is quite native to me. I’m not saying I’m the only one who does it that way, but that thats the way I’ve always done it. Many of the mediums I’ve just started working in, so I dont have a identifiable style yet. The way I did my acrylic is very me though. The way I arranged things was also not very unusual for me Conceptually, there was not alot of similarities behind the art, but very much so behind the writings. As I said, the last couple ones got very lighthearted and silly, and those are the ones that I am happiest with. But the rest of the writings have a serious, very teen-angst/self-expression/stuck-writing-a-quick-write-that-I-dont-want-to-write-esque approach.
