Hawaiian Paradise

One of my friends from Paul Mitchell Academy contacted me to draw up a tattoo design with a pair of shears and flowers. Hawaiian flowers. As I was pulling up reference photos for the flowers, I was secretly wishing I really was in Hawaii using real flowers as a reference instead of my computer screen.

I have only been to Hawaii once when visiting my best friend in 2007 and I had so much fun. Just bear with me as I go down memory lane. hahaha

With each new drawing, I try to improve my skills in sketching, my line work and of course my shading. Shading makes all the difference in the world, especially in tattoos. I cant wait for me to apprentice.

Here is a sketch I rendered for my friend. I am going to make a few ad, as this was just the first draft of ideas. But tell me what you think

I am going to draw up something a lil different for the next drawing. Tweaking it as I like to call it.

Just wanted to share this with yall and I hope you enjoy it! Thanks for stopping by!

The reason why people give up so fast is because they tend to look at how far they still have to go, instead of how far they have gotten.

Fantastiliscious

I cant believe it is going to be friday yet again. Where has time gone? I feel like I just posted something yesterday but it has been almost a week! I am laying in bed, in my jammies watching Pirates of The Carribean Dead Man's Chest and attempting to write this (my eyelids are getting so heavy), I just stuffed my face with two Reeses peanut butter cups (pulled fresh from the freezer...sooooo good when they are frozen!) which is my desert from the spaghetti I had earlier.

Few updates: I colored my hair, or I should say my friend Jackie colored my hair and it turned out frickin fantastiliscious! hahahaha

Red, Purple and Blue Hair

Side view of color madness!

I love this sooo much and it is my fav color of my hair as of RIGHT NOW> until I change it again. hahaha. I was originally going to just redo the red I had before using Hot Topic's Vampire Blood Color, but I still had some of my blue CHI Color and so Jackie wanted to have a lil fun so I gave her the OK to have at it.

The best part is that they are my 3 fave colors and it matches my star tattoo, my Sweet Surrender tattoo and my mermaid tattoo! LOVE!!!

I also completed this floral tattoo design for a friend that she plans on getting a side piece tattoo. I really wish I knew how to tattoo already. Once I graduate from Paul Mitchell, I am on the hunt for an artist who is willing to teach me.

Then yesterday we had a TORNADO! jeez, first earthquakes, then a hurricane now a tornado. Check out this cool pic of it though that I found online after the tornado had passed

I was down at Micheals Craft store when the tornade came from nowhere and it was crazy. There was lightening every 2 seconds and thunder following swiftly behind. I had screamed a few times while in the car because the thunder was so loud and the lightening seemed like it was right in front of me. I usually dont mind a good thunderstorm, but tornados and hurricanes....NO THANK YOU!

I stocked up on a few supplies at micheals and at the Halloween stores for a few of my halloween makeup tutorials, so I am super excited to show them soon!

Well, I am off to bed to rest up for another hectic day tomorrow! Thanks for stopping by as always!
