    I'm going to school in a Sanec shirt today!

    Things That Are on Your Mind

    I wasn't expecting so many paragraphs on a thread about art tbh, nor I did expect it to be so one-sided. It's almost like when I read YouTube comments that debate over the weirdest things, except I started the debate and it's not on YouTube. I'm never converting back to Modernism. Worst 14 years...

    Things That Are on Your Mind

    William Bouguereau is one of history's greatest painters. Such a shame the Modernists faded him into obscurity for almost a century before he was recently rediscovered. Even then, I'm not sure how any people know the Master that well.

    I just saw my first double rainbow and it was so intense and beautiful against the setting sun. O my dear genus, what does it mean?! Leonardo has no records on this phenomena! Hepl me please!

    Something about school today felt off. The atmosphere itself made me feel sick from 3rd-6th period. If only I could figure out what made me so uncomfortable so I could know how to fix it. Also, I'm going to go to the library more often. I very recently renewed my love for books that died died...

    I had to write up an essay today for English and I was so nervous because I had to type it instead of using my penmanship skills. Then I noticed on of the articles was on Benjamin Franklin and I was immediately calmed after imagining him topless. Also, this post is on page 911.

    I read WW1 as World of Warcraft. Anyways, I have mislocated my scarf, which has the majority of my writing utensils for school i a pouch I attached to it.It could be in the car, but I don't really know for sure.

    Things That Are on Your Mind

    SO there's this field of study called medical illustration that intrigues me. You pretty much get to study human anatomy with the power of drawing, painting, and sculpture. In other words, it's all my hobbies bundled into a nice package. The only problem - if you could call it a problem - is...

    My great-grandpa died in his sleep sometime last night at the advanced age of 84. I'm not upset because I didn't really know him that well and he just called "that boy." But I do feel sorry for his 30-something year old girlfriend who now has no one to love. He was a true player til the end. RIP

    It took me seven hours, but I finally got Leonardo da Vinci face for my iPad's wallpaper! On a completely unrelated note, I am debating whether I should go to bed now or to keep fighting my feelings of lethargy. I'm also hoping to be able to access one of the several library apps on my iPad...

    Things That Are on Your Mind

    After contemplating all day, I finally renewed my desire to go back to my independent studies, which is basically reading a ton of books and writing about them. Yes, that is my idea of a relaxing Sunday. Don't judge me. :embarrassed:

    Things That Are on Your Mind

    Debating whether I should read works from Plato, Herodotus, or Hippocrates. Other than the genre, I have very little knowledge about their ancient texts, so I don't know which ones I will find to be the most interesting. On another note, I'm wondering what I should sketch next out of Leonardo's...

    My sleep schedule suddenly changed when school started backup. I just wake up a little after 6AM and get to bed between 10-11PM. My alarm only went off once in the past few weeks, yet I'm used to sleeping in later than 6, especially since it is the weekend. I also have a few homework...

    How is it that I get more opportunities to draw in class than I do after school? I started shading a portrait on Sunday and I haven't touched it since, but I made a couple drawings in my sketchbook I carry around with me at school. Maybe I should stop taking notes on this book assigned for AP...

    When I got my third school schedule earlier today I was pretty satisfied, but I had this one class called "Care/Prevention of Athletic Injury". I'm anything but an athlete, so you could imagine how weird it must have felt for me to be put in my class. Then I looked at the worksheet and in the...

    After working for two hours on a portrait, my head got light, I got the chills, my nose became clogged, and my eyes started to water. I am hoping that I'm just tired a good night's sleep will refresh me for tomorrow.

    Thinking about writing a tutorial on drawings heads at some point, but I don't know what I'd do with it. I'll probably do studies of ears, because I noticed that I get the anatomy wrong. I fell in love with Albrecht Durer's proportional system, so I might study him for a bit. Also trying to...

    I'm going to a funeral later today. Part of me feel's like it's a waste of time because the drive to-and-fro totals at about four hours and I don't even know the name of the guy that died. At the same time, I feel like what I just said was disrespectful, but I never understood why someone has to...

    I sometimes wonder what SAO would be like without an awesome character like Ayano Keiko. Actually, it probably wouldn't even be worth watching without Keiko. In fact, the problem with SAO II right now is a lack of Keiko. The director should really get on that as soon a possible. If not, SAO will...

    I have to turn a shoe box into a miniature easel for me to read and write on. I just like to do those activities on the floor for some reason, as opposed to me easel on my desk for drawing. Also, I have come to like a good game of chess. There is much more strategy involved than in checkers.

    I guess the schedules everyone got are even more crazy then I expected. For one, the issues are district-wide, beyond just my school. Some honor students were put in intensive class, while others are completely missing integral subjects like Reading II and World History; instead they just have...

    My school booted back up today and it was rather hectic. Most people were missing entire periods or got placed into the wrong classes. I heard that one period of Spanish class had a whopping 46 students in it. That's almost twice the maximum class size. Other classes only had 3-7 students in...

    Went to sleep feeling like an annoying pest and woke up no different. Listening to a moving song while reading Leonardo's Notebook is the only thing making me feel any better. With any luck I'll feel better before I see my IRL friends at school orientation on the 6th.

    I've been studying portraiture since The beginning of May with very slow progress until earlier this month when I set up my own head construction guidelines, as the other ones I knew of didn't make much sense to me. After I did that, I used an anatomy book I bought a few months ago to study the...

    I discovered a free 3D model of the human skeleton, which will be really useful in my anatomical studies. It's kind of strange, too, because a couple days ago I was bummed out about not having the money and resources to purchase physical bones. It's times like this I feel thankful to live in the...

    I have to read some of the Iliad, study Latin, finish this drawing, and maybe make a new sig before I fall asleep just because I want to. EDIT: Wait, did E3 just happen without my knowing about it? ...How?
