Vacations

From tomorrow starts my week long Eid vacation...so I prepare for my studies now. Okay so I currently have Pure maths, Physics, Chemistry, English Language, Art and Design and Computing for my AS. Hmm, interesting. I need to practice a lot of maths and finish off Chemistry, Computing and Physics syllabuses! This is going to be a heck of a month! I really have to get all A's in my Pre cambridge. I mean like how wacky is that, most of the teachers back at school think that I got 7 A's merely by a lucky chance or something (or 'merit' as one of them misplaced with luck, and actually said it all in such a way as if I didn't study at all and got away with just 'merit' and that is bad and that won't help me), what the heck! I prepared for my exams and I read my books. Just because I don't go to their shitty coaching centre doesn't mean that I don't study.

So yeah, I gotta get all A's not just to prove myself, but to kick all the wacky peoples butts and most importantly to make my mother happy!

So I had a nice lazy day at school which I spent talking with Ranika, Tzu, Sharky and Nabeela. Sharky is this cool kid I met just around last week and well today we finally got to actually talk properly with each other. She's awesom and so's Ranika. But its just too bad that Ranika and Sharky are leaving school, Sharky to university in Saudi and Ranika to college or something. So I dunno, two cool people are leaving school ...hu hu hu hu. So it'll be me and Tzu mostly and nabeela too perhaps. Nabeela, she's new in school, she's a nice enough kid.

But thankfully I can keep in touch with the two of them over the internet! Thank God for the internet. Yeah. I haven't posted any inspirational songs in ages..here are a handful:

1) New Divide - Linkin Park
2) Mesmerised - Lifehouse
3) Somewhere I belong - Linkin Park
4) Blaze - Kotoko
5) Sociometry - Kotoko
6) Joint - Mami Kawada
7) Triangle - Mami Kawada
8) Seemann - Apocalypyica

yeah. Lol, I got three artworks to do for Art and Design class, our teacher gave us homework for a 7-day vacation!?!? maan, not to mention I also have to complete the drawing I started today. That sums up to 4 artworks !! sheesh, darn it.

At any rate, I have to study chemistry, computing and practice writing. My hand feels rusty.

Anyhoo I'm scanning the stuffs from my art copy and will upload them as soon as possible.

ookay
that's all for now

Precambridge for AS exams and I'm baack

I wasn't gone anywhere, just didn't get around to update my blog, especially now that my awesome Xpress music 5310 has been officially stolen. Yep, it is stolen! Some people just need to disappear! It was stolen on the 2nd of November, that is the Monday before last week's Monday ..bleh, I miss my phone soo much. No, I didn't use it for calling as much as I used it for listening to music, writing random notes, browsing the internet ...I don't know, it kept me company, when I lay in bed, when bored at tuitions, when bored in general...I dunno, all the other phones that seemed kinda cool before seem ..I dunno...they've lost their charm. I didn't want to get a new phone or something, but I just thought that this phone looks cool, or that one looks awesome, etc etc...but ah well..I miss my phone. I wish I could get it back. At any rate, my pre cambridges are coming up, yeah, again, but this time for my AS levels...:D

Need to prepare and kick some wacky kid butts!! Hyaaah! Oh and speaking of which, well, I"m doing A-level art and design at school, yeah they finally hired a teacher and she's really nice and she's got a lotta plans for me and Tzu. We two have been going to her classes for a couple of weeks now and well we started out with still life sketches and then now we did an inked random image from our imagination which took us a week....XDD Well, we're going to try our hand at abstract art...nooooooooooooooooooooooes....lol, its our teacher's idea...Ah well, I gotta think.

And my aunt, my cousins Alif and Adib are here from sg to spend their vacation with us, ahh I've missed them sooo much. Adib is 3 and he's just so cuute and adorable and hyper! Alif's 9 and he's chubby and cuute and cool. Hehe, my aunt sh'es really nice and gives very inspiring speeches. We'd been hoping that they'd come and well one night mum was all jittery and had to go to Uttara at like 10pm in the night and she told us that she had work to do...I was kinda curious but didn't bother about it too much and well, my (other) aunt (I call her by her name Shaon and add an auntie along with that) didn't know exactly where she was going either. My uncle (mum's little brother) went along with my mum and then at like 1 am in the morning the bell rang, I thought that my mum had arrived and well just stayed in my room since mum was gonna come in any second, and then door opened and woah! Surprises of surprises! My aunt (I call her lokkhi), Alif and Adib just barged in through the door with mum and Shaon auntie and all laughing and I was sooo happy and surprised! I seriously did think that they'd be able to make it here this year!What with all the monetary crisis and business failure an all and plane tickets seem to be costing a hefty lot! But well, I'm really happy that they came.

^ ^

Thats all for today, and hey I opened up a tumblr account a couple of weeks ago. Its pretty nice, but I like the feel of having a spacious blogger of my own better. :)

Oooh and I started reading naruto...its awesome, since I don't get to see the anime, might as well read the manga.



Goodnight,

Leaves, flowers , clips and red curtains .

:)

Clips on the railing of our balcony. Here's another shot:


This is a shot from inside my room. Yep we've got red curtains. Mum and uncle's choice . I would've chosen a cool blue, but then again I'm okay with em curtains.

These were taken a couple of months ago. I really love photography but didn't get around to post any until today. Well, I'll try to post em once in a while now.

Ciao

Sketches



These a some random sketches I did yesterday, but kinda didn't get to upload it here. But there ya go. These are the most loose and random sketches that I can do, without them looking absolutely gibberish. Done with my pilot v5 pen and the black bits
in the glasses are filled with my v10 grip. Oh and the coloured doodle in the extreme right were done by Tzu the day before yesterday at school, when it was still a blank page. I just wrote the 'not's, violet and purple. Tzu wrote the 'not' after violet XD

Anyway these are mostly inspired by random stuffs around me, like my pooh mug, a pair of scissors, a picture of a bunch of bunnies on a pen, etc etc.

:)
These were fun. I should like to do more. Usually I do these sorta loose sketches on the corners and sides of my school copies or notebooks, while writing stuff. I never get around to scan them since they're too minuscule and it'd take ages for me to scan every single page and then filter out the tiny drawings from them. I guess having a sketchbook legitimises their existence.

XDD

Also today I finally became a member of the British council library. Cool place to read that. There I found a copy of web designer magazine. Its really cool, all the designs and colours in the magazine is inspiring me to draw a proper header for my bog and draw some colourful or funky flowy graphic illustrations....need to learn how to use illustrator properly.

Ah well, that's all for today.
Bye

I found these small sketchbooks in boi bichitra recently, and I bought one of them. I didn't think that I'll be finding anything like this around here, and was thinking about asking my mum to take me to new market and then I found this. The paper's got a nice texture and its kinda strong. I haven't tried any watercolour on it yet, but I hope to. But I did put my inks to use, and I must say the ink didn't seep through the other side of the page under normal pressure. Here's something me and my friend Tzu drew in a free class today.




My friend Tzu, she drew the kid and the ladder and most of the stuff in the right side. I drew the clouds, the text, the checkers, inked the star that Tzu drew. She also drew the cute fishy, the balloon and clouds at the bottom by the ladder. I drew the sharpener, pencil. Tzu inked some of it and she drew the play button thingy. We drew it with my pilot V5 and V10 grips and with my rexgrip and Tzu's uniball 0.28 pens. This was fun. I love this sorta drawing style.

Here's a page of random drawings that I did today with the pens mentioned above. I love pilot and uniball pens. They're awesome, and not just the pens, the pencils they produce are awesome. :D


The green bottle is actually my water bottle and the lantern is really referenced from this lantern hanging from the ceiling of a balcony of this house I could see from our glass window. Our current classroom has the entire left side made up of blue glass which offers a great view of the trees and houses in block-B I think. So yeah. The drawings done in blue were done using Tzu's pilot 0.25 dark blue gel pen. Anyway, these were fun to do, I coloured them using my faber castell pencil colours, which I haven't been using much these days. But now that I have a sketchbook, I feel like drawing anything and everything around me. I don't feel any restriction. Feels great. I've found somewhere to use my colour pencils again.

:D

And here's a girl wearing a Saree I drew, since this cool artist at GRAFA Tinysabya, was asking me to draw someone more Bangali. So here it goes:

I haven't drawn a lady in a Saree in over two whole years now. So I had to rub the entire thing thrice before I got this pic.Lucky for me the paper in my sketchbook is thick and didn't crumple when I was rubbing. If it was A4 printer paper, I would have to start in a new paper. Also, my mum thinks that maybe there should be more designs here, but I think I like her simple style.
I think I'll try and colour her tonight or tomorrow, whenever I'm not feeling lazy.

Okay that's all for now.
Ciao.

New drawing



I drew this picture at school. I sketched it quickly and then I liked it enough to line it with my pilot V5 gel pen and then I detailed and smooothened it using my pilot rexgrip ball point pen, and a 0.28 uniball pen from my friend. I like how it turned out and I guess, her legs do look kinda thin, but hey atleast I drew something!

Also, I signed up for A-level Art and Design, just outta curiosity. I'll prolly drop it later on, kinda boring to do art for homework, aint it. Let's see let's see, I'm curious to see what our school management cooks up. Because last year I signed up too, but no teacher was assigned and no classes took place. Let's see this time. :)

Aaand, I got 3ds Max 2010 today and well installed it just over an hour ago, and it seems pretty interesting, only I need to get used to it. I'm a complete noob at 3d, yes inspite of myself, I have to admit it, and well I gotta practice and get better at it. This is a new ground.

Anyway, mechanics test today was wacky, yeah, but I'll practice that too and get wayy better!! But pure maths was kinda easy and fun. Only I couldn't answer a question worth 4 marks...so that's that. I'll learn how to do it sometime. I'll nag my teacher about it, till he shows me how to do it.


Okay, enough for now. Toodles

p.s- I'm colouring the picture right now, hope it works out.

Goodnight

Computer upgrade!

yay!!
I got 4 gigs of RAM as I said in a previous post aaand a new Nvidia GeForce 9600GT!!
Its soo much fun playing games now and my computer's faster, so it works. My computer got back last Friday, but well didn't have inter net for a while and after my connection was fixed I got too lazy. It's my chemistry class test tomorrow..woo.. I gotta finish studying it.

Here's an wip of a picture that I started long ago, but abandoned, but took it up a few weeks ago and currently looks like this:
Here's something I did just now as I was writing this blog entry. Painter X rule's my world just like Painter IX used to do two years back. Aaand, I've started reading heidi again and its inspiring me and I'm getting my flow back again:DI loove heidi.



Okay I gotta study chemistry.
Ciao
