How My Art Style Changes Over the Years

         Hello everyone, This is Lane and in this week’s article, I will be showing you the evolution of my art style. I have never really had a consistent art style, it’s constantly changing and I’m used to the changes, the process of changing my art style hurts, it involves having no motivation in drawing whereas anytime I picked up a pencil the drawing I created will turn out bland, tasteless, and boring. That’s when I know I’m going through a style change, and it took a couple of weeks of not drawing to finally find the perfect new art style that I’m comfortable with. Here are some of my old drawings to show you some of my previous art style changes. 1. The Faux -Beginning (2018) My old drawings from 2018      This is the oldest drawings of mine that I found, and I only got it because it’s from a sketchbook, I’ve only started drawing in sketchbooks in 2018, I was in 4th grade of elementary school and it was a challenging time… I used to s...

Why I Prefer Analog Art

     From the beginning, we all discovered drawing by picking up a pencil and starts making scribbles in a surface, that surface can be a paper, a wall, a bedsheet, etc. And we've all been making those same scribbles since then, only now we call it “drawing.”  In the digital era, digital art came storming down on the art industry and it gave artists a brand new option on where to express their ideas and creativity. Although I agree digital drawing has a lot of advantages such as—no paper waste, you can make as many mistakes as you'd like and you don't waste any papers in the process, and you can easily edit, resize, and undo stuff. There's also a bunch of tools available to make drawing easier and more practical—I do think analog drawing is a much suitable media for me to draw with. Don't get me wrong digital artists, I have a drawing tablet and have been drawing digitally for about 3-4 years, but I have been doing analog drawing 5 years earlier than that, so it...

How I Planned my First Display Stand for a Craft Expo at School

     Hi everyone! Welcome to this week’s post, Lane here, and today I’m going to write about my experience planning a crafts display stand for my school’s waste recycling project this month.      So, this month at my school, we have a recycling project where a class is divided into 4 groups consisting 9 students each. And my group got picked to make hand crafts from bottle caps waste. We made stuff like a tissue container, shopping bag, coaster, pencil holder, and a colorful little windchime. And it took a week to finish all of it and they turned out pretty well and this week, we presented it by creating a display stand in front of our class.      My friends and I planned the stand indoor at first, we were confused by how the windchime could be displayed, because you're supposed to hang it onto a ceiling, so we decorated a broken broom holder that’s been lying around for decades at our class and taped it to the back of our stand table. And it...

Short Story: The Clueless Traveler

     Once upon a time, there lived a traveler who possessed countless abilities. Her name is Jade and she is known as the traveler who traveled beyond the seven seas across multiple dimensions, crossing borders to borders, while defying the natural laws of physics.     O ne day, she entered a dimension where she could not speak their language or write their alphabet. This is a step out of her comfort zone, as she has spent many years perfecting each and every one of the skills that can be mastered, and it turns out there's a language she hasn't learn yet. It was tough but at the end she was able to connect with the people there and speak their mother tongue. But then, she met this one kid who claims that she is going to bring great peril to their land. The people there didn't believe the kid at first, but the longer she stayed on their dimension, the more they realize how much of a threat she can be. So they decided to throw her out of their dimension. Jade, as ...
