I think there’s a lot to say about artwork, but sometimes it’s hard to come up with the words on the spot. I met a bunch of grad students and was blown away with the way they spoke. It was like they were born to publicly speak and share their work or what it’s about. You don’t know how hard that is for me.

Anyhow, my latest artwork is titled The Artist and The Muse. I kept hearing about the Muses, and I’m sure everyone who might be reading this has heard of them. The Muse, they give the artist inspiration—isn’t that beautiful?

I see something special in artists, I don’t really know how to explain it. But it’s like they have something special going on inside their head, like they’re tapping into something beyond words and visions. Is that crazy?

There’s just something very extraordinary for someone who sees a blank canvas and can somehow think of a way to fill it up. It’s just all so beautiful.

Specific art supplies used: Winsor and Newton Cotman Watercolor Pans, Faber Castell Polychromos Colored Pencils, Micron Pens, Sakura Gel Pens, and on 11″ x 17″ Strathmore Bristol Paper.

Filling Up The Canvas or Paper

What is it about unfinished work that makes it so satisfying? Every time I work on a drawing, it feels so good to fill up every part of the blank canvas.

I hope everyone likes aliens, because I definitely loved doing this piece.

My question for the world when I post the finished work: do aliens think about heaven?

Anyway, don’t mind my cat who thinks it’s okay to walk wherever she wants.

Drawing Myself

Posted on January 20, 2022 Posted in ArtTagged Art, artists, colored pencils, drawing, me by priscilla flores, priscilla Flores, prismacolor, self portraitLeave a comment

When I saw a movie called The Dead Girl (2006), there was a scene where the character Rosetta shows a polaroid of her daughter who had been murdered. The photo showed Krista—before she died—looking up in the photo as if it were a selfie. The photo made Krista look particularly prettier than she did in the movie and Rosetta says, “She said it made her look how she wanted to feel.” It was such a beautiful quote that always stuck with me.

So, when I drew myself, I made it how I felt. I wish I looked a little more like my drawing. Whenever I draw myself, I alter things just a little bit to my liking. When I was in my local community college, one of my professors mentioned that old classic paintings made the subject seem more glamours or beautiful because it was similar to photoshop. You just want to look your best.

Anyhow, this is just a shot post and I wanted to share my self portrait I did last year.

I love making posters

I love making posters of my art like I’m about to have an art show. I know the dream is far from reach, but its ok. Thats why I just post my stuff anywhere and maybe someone will enjoy it.

On a side note, I had the most pleasant dream last night. Well, not the entire thing, but I seem to have noticed that dreams with turtles are so nice. I was on a turtle made of mosaic stone and we were riding in the sky. Such an odd dream.

There was a scary part of the dream, but once I got past that event, the turtle segment took over and made things nice a happy. I even remember the soft blue sky, the green color of the stones on the turtle, and the square pieces that covered the entire thing. I dont know where it was taking me, but I even remember a docking area. Like I let me off and I was able to get back on so long as I made the short distance jump to the turtle.

It was a massive thing too.

Aren’t dreams so odd?

Anyway, the drawing I am working on is one of me the way I wish I looked all the time.

I used prismacolor colored pencils on strathmore mixed media 140 lb paper. Good stuff.

Drawing During the Pandemic

Drawing during the Covid19 Pandemic is not really something I am surprised in doing, since I draw all the time. What I find interesting is that at all the stores I went to, the art section would be nearly cleaned out because so many people got the supplies when everyone was sent home. I really think people need to have some sort of creative side so they can have something to look forward to other than school or work. Just my opinion.

What I am surprised about is how much these Prismacolor pencils last. Like they really, really, last long and I have been using them nearly every day. Granted I use other medium in my drawings like markers of even gel pens, but still, I am shocked how long a pencil can last.

I am so happy with the amount of usage I got from this set so far. To be honest, the yellow you see behind the green is actually a third replacement I had gotten not too long ago. Turns out I gravitated to that color a lot, mostly for highlights and to give a glowing effect in some of my drawings. I always find if nice when an artist has something they are attracted to more than others when it comes to their art supplies. I think there was a red I used up twice as well, but I ended up waiting until I am completely done with this set to move onto my huge set of pencils. I personally like the challenge of having a limited color palette.

Still got a long way to go, but I plan on trying to post everything on here rather than social media. Hope this stupid pandemic comes to an end, because I miss lurking around Hobby Lobby and Michaels.

Interpretation Of a Virus #coronavirus #covid19 #coronachan

I know there is a lot of stuff going on with the Coronavirus or Covid19. I see so many people draw their Corona-chan, but I feel like it would be more mythical or otherworldly. Something that looked like us, but at the same time be human, since we are the humans that would be targeted by it.

When I saw the memes of the so-called Corona-Chan begin to spread around, I thought it was quite funny, because the Ebola-chan was something I was into also. I even did a speed drawing of her a while ago and YouTube if filled with the drawings of her.

Now it’s Corona-chan, and I feel like it’s starting to get a life of its own because how many people are worshiping the thing. I love the fan art, but instead of parroting the same thing of a beautiful woman with two buns, I added a major twist of a being that is not human like, but preys on them.

Here is the drawing done on Procreate:

Hope everyone has a safe upcoming spring. Hopefully things are not too bad out there, but if they are, I hope things get better.

Thank you reading, Priscilla.
