[ARTS] Some of My Graphite Drawings

Posted by Abigail Vasquez

The following were some of my graphite drawings I've made last summer. I'm very lazy to make a lengthy explanation about them because I'm not that very satisfied on them simply me being an amateur so here you go.

That's my sister, Alizza on the right side. I've made her as my reference. LOL. Close enough!

I've just made a rare fashion design sketch about Mori Girl sub-culture. Yeah, I also want to be a fashion designer someday maybe.

Furthermore, I just want to share these because I was indpired on Wilmer Tay's artworks using graphite pencils. He's awesome and very one of a kind! I want to be like him someday!

Some of his works are seen in the following:

Inspirational Quotes

"Everybody's born with some different thing at the core of their existence. And that thing, whatever it is, becomes like a heat source that runs each person from the inside. I have one too, of course. Like everybody else. But sometimes it gets out of hand. It swells or shrinks inside me, and it shakes me up. What I'd really like to do is find a way to communicate that feeling to another person. But I can't seem to do it. They just don't get it. Of course, the problem could be that I'm not explaining it very well, but I think it's because they're not listening very well. They pretend to be listening, but they're not, really. So I get worked up sometimes, and I do some crazy things."— May Kasahara, from Haruki Murakami's The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle

"You don't have to be good at everything at once, start by doing what you can do and build up from there."- Yuu Fujikura, from Ricotta's Princess Lover

“I wonder what I was doing. I was just staring and did not even stretch my hand out. I was scared of the result and couldn’t take a single step forward. I was jealously watching the paths everyone found with effort. By saying that I was different from everyone else, I was making an excuse for myself. I was afraid of being hurt. Even though it’s right in front of you, there’s something you can’t have. No matter how much you reach out your hand, there’s something that you can never touch. Even though you can’t obtain it, is there a light at the end of the path if you continue to search? ” – Yūta Takemoto, from Chika Umino's Honey and Clover

“I can't do much yet, but even if I can do a little to help ... I want to give it all I have! If a person doesn't do anything, they never get any better. Doing one little thing, taking one little step forward ... I gotta believe it will help build a better future!” –CLAMP's Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicles

"If everyone is here with me, I can bloom forever..." – Sumino Hikage from Tooyama Ema's Koko ni Iru Yo!

"It's good to have a big dream. Even if your dream is shattered, the shattered pieces are still big. " -Jung Yong Hwa as Lee Shin from Heartstrings

“Perhaps the reason memories of youth are always in watercolor, is because it ends before it can be put in more vivid colors.” –Jang Geun Suk as Seo In Ha from Love Rain

"Sometimes there are obstacles on your way to your dreams and sometimes the obstacles become bridges leading to your dreams." -Dream High

“They say that there are two types of happiness. One is a happiness that you realize after the fact and the other is a happiness you feel in the moment. That happiness you feel in the moment is so precious that they say that the memories of this kind of happiness can stay with you and enlighten your life. Maybe we’ll go on remembering this moment today, like that kind of happiness… that we can remember for the rest of our lives, the moment when we shined.” –Taecyeon as Jin-Gookfrom Dream High

"Art should astonish, transmute, transfix. One must work at the tissue between truth and paranoia." - Brett Whiteley

”Artmaking involves skills that can be learned. The conventional wisdom here is that while ‘craft’ can be taught, ‘art’ remains a magical gift bestowed only by the gods. Not so.Even talent is rarely indistinguishable, over the long run, from perseverance and lots of hard work. The function of the overwhelming majority of your artwork is simply to teach you how to make the small fraction of your artwork that soars. Most artists don’t daydream about making great art --- they daydream about having made great art.” - David Bayles and Ted Orland from Art and Fear: Observations on the Perils (and Rewards) of Artmaking

"A lover of discipline is a lover of knowledge but a hater of reproof is unreasoning." -Proverbs 12:1

"A man’s gift will make a large opening for him, and it will lead him even before great people." -Proverbs 18:16

"When there is much desire to learn, there of necessity will be much arguing, much writing, many opinions; for opinion in good men is but knowledge in the making." -"Aereopagitica"

"Creativity is not a sudden inspiration, a fleeting "aha" moment reserved for a lucky few born with the creative gene."

"Wear what you are comfortable with and what you like yourself, not what others like. I think above all, your confidence and the way you carry yourself speaks volumes more than what you are wearing." -Connie Cao

"Fashion represents you. Represent yourself in a way that makes you feel lovely!" - Rachel-Marie Jones

"Don't let anything or anyone hold you back. Fashion is for you."- Camille Co
