ah......
i was packing my cupboard today when i found.... something....
YES! it's SOMETHING!!!
wanna know what is something??
something is some-thing.
ok ok. enough of all the crapping.
i found old lipstick and eyeshadow in my cupboard... very old (since i was p6)
i wanted to throw it away, but then.... annabelle felt very very arty today!!
she was greatly inspired by the red rose she stole from her cousin's wedding dinner party last night!
These are the pic of the drafts:
(click on the pic to enlarge them, they look better when they're bigger sized. cos then you can see the shimmy shimmy of the eyeshadow more clearly)
1. draw the outline with lipstick first
2. fill in the rose with smudged lipstick
3. dab in some eyeshadow to make it shimmy shimmy
4. SIGN OFF!!!
These are 100% original (anna's creation) and 100% drawn and coloured and blah blah blah with ONLY 1 redish-pinkish lipstick and 1 pink-colour of the eyeshadow. i only used these two drawing& colouring utensils.
OK! NICE AND CREATIVE RIGHT?? of course! who'd have thought of using a stick of unwanted lipstick and a stick of unwanted eyeshadow to draw&colour a rose?! heehee. i'm being very egoistic here
for my final piece, i played around with the properties of the lispstick.
you know lipstick is slightly oily and you'll be able to see the oil line from the other side of the paper? (like as if wax was used to draw it)
yeah, so at first, it's uncoloured, just the translucent outline of the rose.
but when light shines onto it, as in from the other side.... you can see that the uncoloured rose slowly turning into light pink to darker pink to RED. it'll be very cool if i stick it on my window and watch it when the sun slowly rises. it's like the flower blooming!!
THE ROSE
From plain & ordinary to fiery & aggresive.
It takes time to cultivate a rose; under the right conditions.
Only lipstick & eyeshadow were used in this piece to give the values depicted in The Rose a feminine touch.
