a View on Melancholy

 Hello!

     I was always interested in theories concerning temperaments... I haven't probably mentioned it but this interest influenced my way of portraying personifications of the Four Seasons. I couldn't help but assign each of them to respective humours like sanguine, choleric, phlegmatic and melancholic. Today I would like to focus on the last one of them because showing a view on Melancholy belonged to one of my aims.

So let's start with the earliest sketches with the ideas for Melancholy's portrayal.

I chose to show the allegory of Melancholy as a tired, worried and thoughtful woman. Next I draw her on paper. Firstly I wanted to use a black pen for outlines but I've changed my mind.

the Poetic Graphics: the Apathy

 Hello!

     Today's post will involve another part of a cycle the Poetic Graphics with a poem from two years ago. Its main theme concerned an apathy and lack of motivation (original version is available THERE).

     Below you could see the background I used for a poem. 

the Pumpkin Predicament in the 100th Post

 Hello!

A Soup or a Pie?, pen and crayons on a paper, 31.10.2020.

It's already the hundredth post on an a-r-tistic blog! 

Wow, I'm quite amazed by this fact.

Today I'll show you a drawing of a young, pretty lady with a certain dilemma... 

What would You do with a pumpkin? A soup? A pie? 

Or something else?

Please - share your ideas in comments.

My dear readers, 

stay healthy and strong 

in those disturbing and uncertain days!

Have a Nice Day!

the Green Eye

 Hello! 

👀

     A few days ago I published on my blog with poems a post varied by a graphic the Green Eye. I used it in decorative purposes for a poem which english version is available below a mentioned illustration (original version is THERE).

     A story behind the Green Eye is quite simple. Once I made a photo to my sweet cat and then - out of boredom - I started turning mentioned photography into graphic because I've seen too much potential... I could call it some kind of "training". 

blue mermaid

Hello! 

🐟

 

I experimented a bit... Again.

A graphic you're able to see below was formed from an old doodle of mermaid (I can't explain why but I sometimes like to draw mermaids) which was carried on a blue background.
