trying new things! (ദ്ദി ๑>؂•̀๑)

 Hello everyone! 

This week's project was absolutely one of the most fun art assignments I've had to do for this class. I followed a few tutorials from my classmate's blogs. Here are the links, so go check their sites out!

❀ Cartoon Perspective City! - https://misty0369.blogspot.com/2026/03/cartoon-perspective-city-tutorial.html

❀ Cute Bunny Drawing 𑣲₍ ᐢ. .ᐢ₎ - https://junesanalysis.blogspot.com/2026/03/how-to-draw-cute-bunny.html

❀ Cootie Catcher Tutorial - https://studioliviablog.blogspot.com/2026/03/cootie-catcher-art-tutorial.html?m=1

The First tutorial I followed was my classmate Misty's cartoon perspective city drawing. It was such a fun and creative activity, and I enjoyed it very much! All you need is paper, pencil, a ruler and things to color in the drawing. Here was my final outcome:

Next, I followed June's tutorial on how to draw a cute bunny. It's such a simple and cute doodle, and I love to doodle, so I really enjoyed doing this one.

Finally, I followed Olivia's tutorial on how to take a origami cootie catcher. I remember kids making these all the time back in elementary school, but I've never made one myself, so this was very new and fun to do. I actually don't remember how to use these, but if you guys have any idea what I should do with it, let me know!

I hope you all enjoy these projects as much as I did. Thank you to my classmates for making such creative and fun tutorials to follow.

Until next time!

super ez art tut: how to draw manulua

 Hi everybody! I hope everyone is well. Today, I'm making a tutorial on how to draw one of Tonga's simplest of patterns: the manulua. 

In Tongan culture, the manulua is often found on our ngatu, which is kind of like a mat made of tree bark, where patterns and designs are drawn on it. It's often portrayed as a symbol of unity, and it was the first pattern I learned how to draw when I was younger. It's so easy a toddler could do it!

These are an important piece of the design, as you will see it on many of the ngatu in Tongan Culture. Observe...

Could you find it??? Awesome (´▽`) 👍

HOW TO DRAW THE MANULUA

a super ez tutorial.

MATERIALS

❀ Paper

❀ Writing Utensil of Choice in color of choice (I'm using red marker.)

TUTORIAL

Alright. To start the drawing, you can complete this in 4 steps. 

➀ you start by making a square for the pattern to sit in. Next, 

➁ you draw an x in the box, with the ends of the lines hitting the corners of the square - do your best to keep the lines straight, but honestly, don't stress too much about it. Most of these designs are freehand without rulers ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Okay, ➂ now you are going to make a + sign in that square, crossing over the x and meeting at the middle. Cool! You made the outline for the manulua, now you just have to color it in. 

Finally, ➃ you are going to fill in a triangle with the color, skip the next triangle and fill in the next until you have this:

lol that was easy, huh...

Now that you've learned this design, you can make it a pattern or incorporate it into your own designs. Just be creative! 

Thanks for reading, until next time (oﾟvﾟ)ノ

stamp making - failures and different approaches

 Hi everyone!

This week, I was following a tutorial on making stamps from my art teacher's blog. You can check it out here!

Anyways, I started off by sketching design ideas. I love drawing flowers, so that was my first idea. After I drew on the design and grabbed my carving tool, I realized my younger brothers had got hold of it and lost all but one of the tips... ( ﾉ ﾟｰﾟ)ﾉ┏━┓

here was the initial design and a then a simpler design I decided to draw on the stamp. After trying to carve it out, I hurt my hand because I wasn't being too careful with the tip... (❁´◡`❁)👉👈 lesson learned. At this point I knew that I wouldn't be able to continue carving out this design. I thought "what can I do????" Then I had an idea...

I saw this scrap stamp sheet that I tossed to the side, and I had the thought to carve shapes out as a whole and use multiple of these stamps to make a bigger picture design... Sorry, I don't know if that made sense.

See, here, I had the idea to continue with a flower design, but make different stamp shapes to make the whole bouquet. I cut out random blobs with scissors to make the flowers, leaves and even the vase!

I used the different stamp colors to make the drawing stand out, and I tried to emphasize a variety of colors in monochromatic schemes (if that makes sense..) It was super fun to make and was something new that I enjoyed making. I think I will try again in the future to make a carved out stamp of my own design again, with better safety precautions... It is a lot of work, but it is fun (´▽`ʃ♡ƪ)

So, to continue, I showed ChatGPT my drawing and asked it to give me an idea on what to make of the drawing, and what I could add to make it a complete art piece. Here is the output it gave me:

I think it's beautiful! But it's not exactly how I wanted to to be, as I wanted it to look more like a painting. But I liked the idea of making it as if it were standing on it's own shadow. So, I took my drawing, imported it to a free background remover, copy/pasted it into Adobe Fresco, and used the water brush to create a blue background by blending two different blues together. I also drew on a shadow for the bouquet, and the piece was complete! Here it is, and it's very simple, but I'm happy with it's outcome.

Welp, that's it from me for this week. Thanks to everyone who reads, I'll post again soon! Hope everyone has a good week.

bye! (o＾∀＾o）ﾉｼ

first post - kind of nervous... 𐔌՞. .՞𐦯 👉👈

 Hi everyone! Welcome to my blog ╰(*°▽°*)╯

I made this blog for an art project at my school, but I'm super excited to see where this goes in the long run. I've always kind of thought about making a writing blog, but never had the motivation to do it, so I guess here we are now ¯\_(ツ)_/¯:D:D yay

For my art class, I'm supposed to write a post on something I learned in the class. A project we did recently was learning to make art with texture. So I made a little art piece of a flower and I made it using dry paint, stickers and magazine scraps. I recorded myself trying to explain the process and turned it in to my teacher, and it was a really fun project

(❁´◡`❁) here is the video:

Well, that's all I'll write for now - I have to go study for my pbh exam now (°ロ°)

bye!
