my art - first half of 2017

 portrait of jungkook from bts
black grey and white colored pencils

sketch portrait of chanyeol from exo
art pencils
(proportions were rlly off idk what happened)

sketch portrait of winwin from nct
art pencils
(irl his hair and eyes have a lot more dimension, bc of the shiny pencils and natural light it looks a lot more flat there compared to the shirt bc my shadow is blocking the light there)

portrait of park bo gum
art pencils
(a lil different than my usual style, softer- the light is coming from behind in the photo)















for all my sketches i use the same technique, i look at a photo on my phone and then just draw on paper by eye. bc i have depth perception issues drawing on lined paper helps me a lot.
for the drawing of jungkook i used a method where you print out a picture, draw a grid on it, then draw a larger grid on a sheet of paper- working square by square. ppl who arent "schooled" in art consider this "cheating" when i was actually taught the technique in art classes and many MANY legendary and famous painters have used this same technique.

Too Faced Peach Lip Oil Gloss - Review

First of all- I hated it.
Now lets get some facts out of the way-
I have VERY pigmented lips naturally. The are extremely pink-red. I LOVE Too Faced products. I have blushes, highlighters, mascara, liquid lipstick, etc. This product though, was awful.
I was attracted to it by the cute packaging and the hype surrounding the product. The scent was so nice and when I swatched it on my hand the colors appeared pigmented, even, and rich. I was surprised in store at how light the colors appeared compared to the photos online. Yet in my mind I thought "maybe it's just my very pale skin making them look like this." I was wrong. I bought Peach Tease after a long self debate of what color to choose and put it on when I got home. The first thing I noticed is its very moisturizing properties. Even right now my lips feel very soft, with it off. It gathered in certain parts of my lips- I thought it was the dry spots so I took it off, exfoliated, and tried it again. But for some reason it did the same thing. It wouldn't lay evenly on my lips, and the dark pigmentation of them already made it almost impossible to see the color of the product where it wasn't all glooped up. I took it off once more and tried it again, but sadly the same thing happened. This seems to be for people with no lips, very thin lips, or lips with no pigmentation. But even to me it looked worse than most drugstore-type lipglosses, just not as sticky. Totally not worth it. Save yourself from the hype.

Art Institute of Chicago

I go to the art museum in Chicago often but I never take photos.
Yesterday when I was there with my relatives that were in town I took photos of some of my favorite paintings (mainly Monet) and a couple Thorne rooms (tiny little dollhouses with extreme detail).
Here are the pictures~ I hope you can all enjoy them...
