Drawing 101


Since yesterday, while I obsessed about what to wear for this Saturdays debutante party with the goddess theme that we were invited to; and after googling images of “goddess costumes/dresses, etc”; I’ve started sketching what I think I might/should wear. What was supposed to be just a sketch of what I would wear quickly became more sketches of other dresses and designs. I took pictures of those so I can upload them here later.  (They don’t really offer me bragging rights, but certainly a start at gaining or improving my drawing skills.. hehe)

Honestly, if I had some talent in drawing, it would definitely be limited to stick figures, suns, moons, stars, flowers, spider webs, trees, apples, nipa huts and other very simple things. (Ofcouse the basic shapes are a given)

I envy those who can draw (and those who can dance) and even envisioned myself making my own comics! (Greatly inspired by the blog posts on LET ME BE FRANK, which I really enjoy reading) I can dream of course, right?

Anyway, just today, because I had a bit of idle time, I decided to go into Paint and draw something. The dress I wore today was getting a lot of attention so I decided to draw that and the rest of my outfit for the day.

This is what I came up with:


In the picture above is a dress, a bag and sandals. (Yes, they are sandals...) It may not show on the actual output but a great deal of time and effort was put into that little drawing.

Again, it is not a work or art but it sure is a start at doing and learning something new. I definitely need MORE practice but this sure made me smile at least a little today. ;-)


AFTER THOUGHT: 
This gave me a little insight into my personality – that what I see people do inspires me to do the same. (i.e. When I read books, I wrote. When I looked at comics, I drew.) 
So, maybe I should look at more dancing, more swimming and more Math so I can develop skills in those. Hmmm…That could be a start too!)

Last Splash for Summer 2015: Busay Holiday Pools

Image
It is almost the end of summer or has it ended yet considering the rains have been pouring heavily for the last few days? But just because it is almost the start of classes, doesn't mean you still can't have just a little bit of summer fun, right? That's what we did at Busay Holiday Pools yesterday with the Endoma clan and it seriously was a great "huling hirit sa tag-init!" It was actually my second time there and every time I'm there, it always leaves a good feeling in me - although definitely tiring but in a good way! haha.. Ever since I discovered the place, I've been recommending the place to pretty much everyone asking for a nice summer get-away! The clan was supposed to to go the beach and good thing they changed their minds because we sure had great fun! If the clan didn't have plans to go there, we would have gone only the three of us ( me, my hubby and our little boy) because for some reason, every weekend after we were the...

National Holiday: Pinoy Native Games Day 2014! :-)

Image
If I could implement and declare 1 national holiday, it would be called “Pinoy Native Games Day” and it would require everyone to stop whatever they are doing to play the native games we used to play and celebrate it. When I was a kid, the only games we would normally play were ones that required other people’s participation and the best place to be in was always outdoors. Right now, most kids are just glued to their computers, phones and whatever gadget and prefer to be in the comforts of their own room as opposed to getting all sweaty under the heat of the sun. Today, I am celebrating that national holiday (albeit without an approval from the Philippine government)… Happy Pinoy Native Games Day to all! And in the spirit of this celebration, here are the Pinoy games that we so loved before but have been forgotten by the newer generations… Sungka This game is usually played indoors and requires 2 players to move a number of “sigay” (cowry) shells in an ...
