Challenge 2: Actually meet people

Ignoring all your excuses of why your goals have been met. You actually do meet people. You force it, you force yourself to talk to people. You force yourself to actually go out and see the world beyond your laptop and phone.

Your housemate 1 (mother of housemate 2), suggests early in the settling down period, to take a walk to the nearby Flagstaff gardens after dinner. In all honesty, you are more of a bathe and curl in bed after dinner type of girl, but you agree all the same. A good thing too! For you discover many dogs off leash gathered at the gardens (really just a small park). You make a mental note, to revisit.

The very next day, you do visit. You sit there quietly, watching the dogs. Petting any that come nearby. See you met ‘people’!

The same week, you visit again. You sit there quietly, beside another. You feel this where you should strike a conversation but you struggle internally. Starting conversations, talking to strangers, just interacting with humanoids it’s a very tough struggle for you. You are more comfortable with yourself really. As you were contemplating how to say hello, the girl beside you (Chinese) speaks to you…in Mandarin. You give the awkward smile and say “sorry, I don’t speak chi…mandarin”. Thankfully, she doesn’t stop there but switches to English. Soon you know her brown toy poodle is called Yo-Yo and how she has the exact same dog type all the way to colour in China. Who is also called Yo-Yo (just pronounced with intonation). The conversation goes along and you eventually end up speaking to two others, Debbie and old man George.

Debbie, you have not met since. George you meet all the time! He is a mainstay at the park, knows all the dogs and their mums. Hailing from Greece he has lived most his life in Australia. He loves dogs but is too old to keep one himself. So he brings treats for the dogs at the park. Through George you meet many others. You do not swap numbers or expect to see them again anytime soon but each time, you hold a proper conversation not with just dogs but people.

As for the first girl you met? She asks for your number (thank goodness!) and you will eventually plan to meet up again for brunch (in the next episode of Return to South Melbourne Market).

Drew a bunch of Marinettes in a bunch of different artists styles it was a lot of fun!!

Artists who's styles I mimicked: @buggachat @hamsternamedmarinette @ladybeug @sabertoothwalrus and @anna-scribbles all epic artists 🤟😎

#my art #marinette dupain cheng #miraculous ladybug #miraculous fanart #style mimic #sorry for the @s btw #yall should go follow those artists if you dont already also #this was sort of inspired by a post the three artists on the top row made #i think they all got together and drew with one another #which is really cool #but i was genuinely confused because i mimic styles a lot #and ive seen others do it too so i was just like #wow they really know each others styles really well #until i thought about it and read their posts some more #style mimicking is really freaking fun and i think its really good practice #and a good way to explore other ways of doing things #like you really have to learn new techniques and get out of your comfort zone #also anna scribbles i could not find a recent pic of marinette in her main outfit #so thats the only marinette i drew in different clothes cuz i couldnt find a more recent ref of you drawing it #anna scribble marinette has privileges thats the others dont #but ye #i also threw my own style in there as a frame of reference to what me draw like #ive drawn marinette before just not in a loooong while #sabertooth walrus was the hardest for me to mimic cuz they have a broad range in their style #so its like which sabertooth do i wanna be in this pic #Buggachat has such a distinct style thats very clean and consistent which is amazing so they were easy #being easy or hard arent bad things either it also has to do with like styles meeting up with one another #buggachats and mine arent too too different in some shapes and aspects #so yeah itd be easier plus they drew marinette like 3 sec ago so i have more recent of a ref #as opposed to sabertooth who i have a recent ref of ladybug but not marinette so we got two diff styles in one

something a little different to finish up 2023. these are some ecosystem illustrations i did for my summer job in environmental education this year, featuring local communities of plants and animals. it was a real challenge and very out of my comfort zone, but a super great project to work on, and i'm happy with how they turned out - and that they'll be used in programming for hopefully a very long time to come!

For the last part of my response to the Climate Crisis theme, I wanted to use entirely sustainable materials to create a follow up piece. From the St Ives trip in December, I found a piece of driftwood that I took home and have been slowly working on tidying up.

Since it was found on the beach, I had to painstakingly remove all of the sand from the side I intended to use. Once I could no longer find any sand, I had to then remove all rough edges and sand it down.

Once I had done this, I had to seal it. I did this by watering down a water based emulsion tester pot and thinly painting it on. This sealed the wood, but left a lot of the grain visible. I then used an un-watered down emulsion to place a thicker layer on the wood, attempting to fill some of the grain, enabling me to draw on top.

Once this stage had dried, I then had to compose my piece. I knew I wanted to use the Falmouth landscape to illustrate a phoenix rising - to show how the use of sustainable materials can bring us back from the precipice we stand on by our continued use of oil based fuels and materials.

Wanting to use Falmouth as the backdrop and main centrepiece, I went to Flushing to capture some context shots to use in my work. Since I wanted to draw a phoenix above the landscape, I chose to go when the sun was setting behind Falmouth. This gave me a *perfect* light reference since the phoenix is a bird comprised of flame, so would naturally give off it's own light source.

I chose this one below as the main shot to use in my landscape as it was close enough to Falmouth to foreshorten with ease and the light hung over the water perfectly to illustrate how the phoenix would rise where the sun is in the photo.

I was given a small pack of willow charcoal as a gift some time ago, so I could use the materials I had laid out in my proposal. I went about drawing with charcoal and found it created a lot of different effects, having never drawn on a wood relief before. I found that the charcoal powdered a lot more than it would on paper, and when I went to blow it off the screen, it would create small "blast" effects, allowing me to blend it in with absolute ease. A very serendipitous mistake that worked to my advantage several times.

Above is the finished piece - there are several things I like and a few things I am unsure of. I loved the light effect I managed to create around the phoenix itself, I think having the sunset pic really helped me gain a good context for the drawing. I struggled creating the fine detail of many of Falmouth's buildings, I hope someone unfamiliar with this specific vantage spot would be able to tell that this a drawing of Falmouth otherwise. I used a 1.5in brush to create a mottled effect in the water, something I had never tried before but gave awesome results. All in all - a solid save from not being able to complete my proposal verbatim.

The Rewards and Challenges of Traveling Alone

The Rewards and Challenges of Traveling Alone

Traveling alone can be a deeply enriching and fulfilling experience. It allows you the freedom to explore a destination at your own pace and follow your own interests, without the need to compromise or coordinate with anyone else. It can also be a bit intimidating and daunting, especially for those who are used to traveling with a companion or in a group. One of the biggest advantages of…
