COLORS

I just finished drawing a picture of David Bowie (that I will post tomorrow), and I realized something; I can't use COLOR.

I mean, I know how the primaries and the secondaries and the color theory stuff works. But, everytime I try to use a wide array of colors it looks like gook. Especially when I try to do bright, neon-y stuff. It's like I always just end up choosing colors that look awful together. Then, I'll try to fix it by panicking and adding more colors, AAAND it's a downward spiral from there.

This is probably why I stick to only using monochromatic schemes, and the primaries (never secondaries, I think they are gross together).

On a somewhat relevant note, Jesus I hate contrasting colors with a passion. Why do we ALWAYS use that scheme in art class? If we did nothing but primaries all year, I would be SO CONTENT. Heck, why do we even get assigned color schemes in art class? I WANT TO DO WHAT I WANT /whine. But, some people just don't get them, I guess. Just like they don't get contour lines. Dear God someone get me out of my art class pleeeaasseee


PS: I totally used primaries on David Bowie

why why why

So, I've decided to start a series of watercolours. Watercolours of ghostly schoolgirls. Many of you saw the first one (and refer to her as Nubs, sending me into a blind frothing rage (PS: I promise not to call you K-fed anymore, Katelyn, lmao)).

Anyway, when I drew that one, it was like; "Oh yeah, pencil to paper, bam bam look at that".

Then tonight, I started on another, and it's like, "HOW DO I ANATOMY????"

NOTHING LOOKS RIGHT! It's all disproportioned, or awkwardly angled, or WROONNNGGG!!! I hate it. Feel my seething frustration.

Tomorrow I will try to draw them again, after I have calmed down. Hrrrhhggnnnhhgdffkdgld;h
