I totally think Dion Phaneuf is totally hot.
Seriously.
And I still don't get why Wang signed DiPietro for 15 years of "NYI calendar yumminess".
RAFFI JUST GOT HIS OWN WEBSITE YO. He's officially the lonely single woman's sex god symbol material.
Oh Raffi. Raffi Raffi.
And here it seems that Condoleezza Rice was in the paper today. With some guy I forget. But the thing is as my friends and I looked at the photo, we paused and we realised that a boy who recently graduated at my school had a creepy similarity to this Mackay guy. I whipped open my yearbook and found a miniscule photo of him. I would've had a better photo but I can't seem to find te exchange trip photos I had. Nonetheless this photo is perfect, the same smile, the creepy exactness of it!
VESA IS HOTTER DAMN IT.
Well it doesn't really seem like it - the eyes are a wee bit big but I guess I can easily fix it, or not. He has nice blue eyes! But they're sketches. I'll get better at it. I swear! Besides I'll start painting over it tomorrow. I spent most of today stretching the hell out of the canvas (it was still loose but I gave up. Which is bad considering the oil will just weigh it down. Argh. Toskala won and Moreau lost. Which is sad since Moreau was full of sex appeal.
Nonetheless it was strange since I had a hugeass canvas and people kept peering at it. The art class overlaps with photography and whatever else. Meaning that even the photography teacher I had last year looked at it and went "Wow you draw! Who's that looker!?". My Art teacher thinks I have a boyfriend like this guy (I wish. I mean who doesn't want this heart warming Finn?) However it seems that I am having doubts in doing this painting. Again I have little painting experience and I think I'll fudge this up so bad.
Oh well.
Meet the wall where I will nail the painting to. I will try to document my painting progress in a moment of self glory. But apart from that I wouldn't mind getting rid of the painting (Paypal or western union. You know the rest).
Joking aside, I am having a dilemma on how to start the painting. I rocked up to the art class and hailed my teacher. I'm a very forgetful person. Therefore I spent the first lesson stretching a canvas that I swore I had never learnt doing before.
Bits of wood to make a frame? Check.
Stretchy Canvas? Check.
Staple Gun and all that jazz? Yeah.
I still failed making it anyway. I got myself into sweaty fustration trying to get it right and gave up as soon as the lunch bell rang.
I hope on Thursday I'll get to some real painting. Am planning to try to do some oils or acrylic. Maybe oils. Yeah.
But my friends think I'm insane. I don't blame them. I mean I'm not even painting an Oiler! I could've done Moreau but this photo really struck me as wondrous and look at those beautiful eyes! If I ever get ashamed of it, I'll sell it off to some crazy Sharks fan. I admit I can count the number of things I've painted on one hand. It means that I can't paint. I don't expect to paint well but I hope to get something done.
I promise myself to finish this painting before the end of the year! That way I dont have to buy my own art supplies! And if I have time, I'll make a minature of Moreau or something to make up for it.
Accidentally bought two books that my sister already owned. I don't know what to do with them. Really. I should pawn em off ebay but it's hard to find a willing buyer nowadays.
I leave you with a little bit more sketches of Roli. The second one's a repeat though I perfected it a bit... Sorta.
Meet Roli, Toskala and Roli's eyes. It's a bit creepy I know. I think by the end of this year I'll have quite a bit of sketches. I've found a sort of way to beat the "I can't find quality images" hurdle. I've got a cople of screencaps and I could zoom in to them to the pixel and well... use my imagination. I'm planning to use the photocopier to make some zoomed in copies so I dont need a computer next to me.
Things that I've discovered while sketching:
- Moreau has gorgeous eye lashes. Like really gorgeous.
- Roli has awesome... lips.
- Toskala has some neat dress sense.
- Jussi has a sort of angular nose, Toskala has this cute shiny round one.
- I draw my guys so femme it makes them less manly. I'm sorry.
I've been thinking of making a hugeass painting of either Toskala or Moreau (since they're the only ones I found huge images of). Toskala has such a great face I can't resist. But Moreau could get some.
Lastly, I was poking around the romance book store that my sister was a regular customer at. I picked up a couple of more Deirdre Martin's puckbunny essential books. This stuff is funny and definitely nothing earth shattering. But for every fawning fangirl it lives out your fantasy for you. Nonetheless I was afraid it'd be awkward for a 16 year old girl in her school uniform is wanting to buy books that document so much about the male anatomy that it was very R rated. However she looked at my purchases and smiled, "You'll love these" she told me. I smiled back. These books better be damn good.
Oh and if you think I ruined your darling Roli/Toskala, I've got my email there. I dare you to email me an angry letter.
Just joking. Please don't hurt me.
I don't know why it hits me so hard, my childish obsession. And why I wanted to draw that mask of his so much. I wanted to trace his cheekbone, his lips and even his goddamned sexy mask.
Bet that sounded creepy eh? Just wait till I get onto Juicy. Well I was always half an arts student. Every Art class I sat around and messed with the art supplies. I never finished on time. I never did homework. I only drew when I wanted. And everything I started got scrapped halfway because I prefered to do something else.
And I love doing art as a hobby. For fun. And I could never understand why people would imagine art as a job. Like serious art. I mean if you were a genius (where most art students believe they are), then you're probably going to be crazy, poor and die in a freak accident. Whereas if you want easy money then you gotta know the right people.
Nonetheless I did a little sketch of Toskala off a photo. But it's badly proportioned and I'll need to work on his features more. I stole it off a photo I found on flickr. And while his chin was huge and he had a funny nose, I was still fascinated. It had this beautiful symmetry about it.
I've been rambling about me. Well if anyone has any really nice hugeass photos of hot Oilers, I'd love some. I want some Juice reference photos but uhhh it's never there.
