Artistic Anatomy- Skeleton & Scapula!

.
This semester i'm taking "Artistic Anatomy ", as an elective course.
.

This is my first try of drawing skeleton.
Did you like these skeletons? :)) it sounds weird, i know.. "to like skeletons" ! But as a daughter of an anatomist, and as a girl who met with skulls and skeletons in the back seat of a car in the age of 4, i'm used to them. And actually have a sympathy towards them, they never hurt me:) They have been so innocent and harmless during all these years. Why would i get irritated?


The basic difference of Artistic Anatomy class from the other classes i have, is the fact that i don't have to hide what i draw during the class from the proffessor! (yeah, i draw something in almost every class...)

You know, the instructors wouldn't have very nice opinion about me if they knew i was drawing sketches and portraits of them in the, lets say: Econometrics class. Because it has NOTHING to do with the lecture...Well, it actually has a little-in the instructor part!

Anyways, when i figured out that i should do something which is at least a little related with the class - and stopped tempting myself about this in order to make it clear that drawing a coin, or a banknote (in dollar, euros, TL..etc) in International Economics class is not really something related with class - i decided that i should take a class from the department of Fine Arts. Now, i can peacefully draw, with a clear conscience,without feeling guilty:)

Well, i wasn't actually feeling guilty before as well, i don't know why i said that...

Take care!

The Chef d'oeuvre (!) of me in the History of Economics Class

.



Just an irony, as you could have noticed.

I study Economics.
Econ0mics is sometimes boring.

Ok, most of the time.

At least, it's not as interesting and enjoyable as drawing is for me.


So ,now guess what i did in the class!



Well, these are certainly not done in an attentive way, and not with the chalk or speacial drawing pencils that i normally use. So nothing so fancy, more like a sketch. I drew whatever i see in the classroom on my desk . I guess now you can imagine how bored i was...



Hopefully, i know how to entertain myself in such moments...:)

NOSTALGIA

.

Ok, i admit that i've been so lazy these days. I really wanted to post new pictures i have drawn, but didn't really have that much time to draw new ones. BUT then i decided to post the old ones that i've drawn-like a few years before-which i have never published. Because i wanted to create a new post before march ends!
Let's make nostalgia :)




The pictures you see above are really really old. I mean, those times i used to read Polyanna! :D And this (the one on the right) was the cover of the book, which charmed me. If i don't remember it wrong, i did this one in the arts class. And the one on the left side, is one of my toys which i liked and played with a lot.



Picture above (on the right side): Year 2005. I tried to draw myself, haha :D Umm, doesn't look like me very much...


And finally the funny guy! I did this on my exchange year, looking to a sunglasses advertisement in a newspaper. I don't know what's magical about this man, but one of my friends said that she fell in love with the guy cause he looks fun and nice :S
Since this is an old work of me, the paper is ragged and crinky. Sorry for that.
Still,I like these pictures as well because they're done on childhood of me, and they make me glad since i can clearly see that i actually have made some progress on drawing since those years.

My latest drawing!


As the sun comes up, as the moon goes down
These heavy notions creep around
It makes me think
Long ago I was brought into this life, a little lamb
A little lamb
Courageous, stumbling
Fearless was my middle name
But somewhere there I
Lost my way
Everyone walks the same
Expecting me to step
The narrow path they've laid
They claim to
Walk unafraid
I'll be clumsy instead
Hold my love me or leave me
High
Say "keep within the boundaries if you want to play"
Say "contradiction only makes it harder"
How can I beWhat I want to be?
When all I want to do is strip away
These stilled constraints
And crush this charade
Shred this sad masquerade
I don't need no persuading
I'll trip, fall, pick myself up and
If I have a bag of rocks to carry as I go
I just want to hold my head up high
I don't care what I have to step over
I'm prepared to look you in the eye
Look me in the eye
And if you see familiarity
Then celebrate the contradiction
Help me when I fall to
Walk unafraid
I'll be clumsy instead
Hold my love me or leave me
High...

I hurt myself the most


Even if i seem like i know so much,
I'm just trying to learn something

Even if i seem like i'm criticizing you,
I'm probably criticizing myself

Even if i seem like i'm smiling,
I might be crying inside at the moment

Even if i seem like i'm so strong,
It'might be my last tricks to stay on my feet

Even if i seem to be angry to you,
It might be because of my dissapointment about you

Maybe i expected too much from you,
maybe i'm right,
maybe it's you.

Even if i seem like i'm hurting you,
I hurt myself the most
and every time i yell out loud,
The echoes of my voice deafen my ears,
The brightness of my eyes blind myself,
The fire inside me burns my soul.

Even if i seem like i''m hurting you
I hurt myself the most.

It's been like this so far
It doesn't matter who you are...

The things i miss the most

1.Seeing my grandpa, my other grandpa and grandma.I miss them a lot.
2.Living with my host families in USA
3.My exchage year! It was a speacial year.I would do everything to go back and live those moments again with my friends...
4.Climbing to sides of the doors in the house. Now i'm too big for that!
5.Being happy for achieving to reach somewhere way high for me. I was 3 or 4 when i was being proud of myself for being successful at climbing just two stairs.I was calling my dad, yellin " Dad, do you see where i've climbed, can you believe!!":D:D
6.Being in love.I miss it,too.
7.Eating peanut butter=) so delicious!
8.Acting on stage. It's been 9 months since i left the drama workshop in my school, i've missed acting already.Stage is one of the rare places that i really feel like i'm breathing.
9.Seeing a new country. That's a passion for me as well. It's good for renewing and refreshing.
10.To finish the book i start reading. I don't know where i get this habit from, but i just can't finsh a book since last year. I read 4-5 books, all at the same time,and start with a full of excitement, but then lose my interest and don't finish any of them!The only thing i know is i wasn't like this before, i used to finish everything that i started, but now i just lose my concentration very quick.
10. Sitting on the shopping cart and making the person next to me push it fast so i could drive(!) the cart so fast and scare the people shopping in the market.
11. The times when people thought it was normal for my age to play games, climb trees and walls, to act weird, to talk and laugh hard and loud, to feel free to get up some mischief, eating my meal without using knife and fork- just with my hands, talking with my toys, wearing an otfit colored like a rainbow with a puffy short skirt and patent leather shoes, dancing wherever i feel like dancing: in the street, out there in parking area, in the most serious and formal part of a ceremony..anywhere! Well, in fact i still do all these things. The only difference is people think i'm acting like mad when i do these.Some think this is crazy but i think this is so humanly and being mature/reasonable doesn't mean pretending to act like an adult, while thinking immaturely. It's all about your mind and heart,not about your outfit or supressing your enthusiasm. You can be mature, if only you don't hide your enthusiasm.Just like i do:)
12. Eating anything- chocolate, cotton candy, candybars, chips, ice cream and french fries without thinking about gaining weight:))

Finally, "of all the things i've lost, i miss my mind the most"
