Ink Floofers 👀 Prints

Okay, so I just finished my studies, like today was the last assignment we had to give to the teacher, and I'm both, horribly anxious( I don't really know if I'll have to go to June or not) and so relaxed that is weird af, but I'm just going to enjoy the summer vacation, work a lot and travel across my country with my friends.

I'll leave some of the drawings I did for today's assignment.

I know that Harley is super horrible, but se is my favourite antihero mixed with my least favourite technique to use, the pastel.

Norman Rockwell (American, 1894 - 1978), Wet Paint, 1930, oil on canvas.

My now regular photo dump of kitty induced serotonin before I hide it in the ever growing Pinterest Board from my therapist. Enjoy!

1/30 days of productivity

Today I'm drawing for my introducción a la forma, which I don't really know the translation in English, but is basically drawing a lot. Like all of my classes I love it, but it is hard af, this is my field note book in which I have to do at least 3 drawings every week and I have another 2 assignments for this class, but I still love my career.

I've really been struggling to study because I haven't been doing well mentally. I barely sleep so I can't concentrate and I don't have any motivation to do anything.

I really don't want to fail my exams, so tomorrow I'm going to the library in the morning. I also need structure and routine in my life. I graduated from high school 4 years ago (during the pandemic) and I feel like I haven't had a proper routine since.

I know this is going to be hard because I literally haven't studied at all. I do uni online, they give us study materials and that's it. No lectures. You study on your own, you take an exam and that's it.

So I have to study the whole semester in 2 weeks. I might not pass, but at least I'll feel better knowing I tried.

I'm going to try and study a little before bed, I'm also going to prepare some topics I would like to write about on my blog :)

Tell me you are fucked with out telling it, I'm starting, I have to make a 10.000 word easy for tomorrow and I only got a little bit over the middle of the essay, I say middle because Google docs does not count the notes you make, so that makes it's roughly 5.000 words. And tomorrow I have to work so I'm probably going to end up like today, working my ass off because I thought I could do it in a week.

Welp, you need to learn in some way. The good thing is that my essay is heavily influenced by photos, so it's going to be easier to instead of doing 10.000 words do like 7.000 and call it a day.

Isn't it odd how much fatter a book gets when you've read it several times? As if something were left between the pages every time you read it. Feelings, thoughts, sounds, smells... and then, when you look at the book again many years later, you find yourself there too.. a slightly younger self, slightly different, as if the book had preserved you like a pressed flower... both strange and familiar.

Last night was my company Holiday Party, and we're doing really well, so it was held at the Museum of Fine Arts (Boston)

I was so happy that also included the Styled by Sargent exhibit, of John Singer Sargent paintings and the actual articles of clothing alongside them.

Now, you have probably seen this painting of Lady Macbeth

But have you seen the costume she's wearing??

It's gorgeous, obviously.

But that texture! It's *crochet*

And some knitting

Really simple crochet too; just a chain and single crochet lattice with beads and metallic thread added for this chain mail effect.

Despite John Singer Sargent being an expert painter of fabric (no, really, just look at it), I never knew Lady Macbeth's costume had to be *hand crocheted* for that texture in the painting.

Anyway I'm gonna be making myself some faux-chainmail by crocheting it for the next Renn Faire

seeing all the lovely people on my feed, all these hardworking, motivated individuals who are trying to do better, to do their best, really make my heart happy.

just know that I'm really grateful and hope you get wherever you want <3
