What have I been watching #29- a whole lotta Zoë

Image
 Some films I've seen since my last "What have I been watching post" :) 1) The Pyramid An old-ish horror film I just recently saw. Not the scariest, but I thought it was ok. 2) Gemini Great cast but the story line was kinda stupid. Had to watch it though coz I love Zoë Kravitz:) 3) Kimi Can't really go wrong with Zoë.:D A bit slow but the last 30 minutes was worth it. 4) Nausicää and the Valley of the Wind I can't believe I just recently saw this. This is a Hayao Miyazaki film, and it has become one of my top fave films. Even though this was released in 1984, the animation still stands today, and what a great story to boot. 11 out of 10:D 5) The Batman Being a Twihard, this was a no-brainer for me, and man, Robert and Zoë...what chemistry! Love love love this rendition of Batman. 6) Nightmare Alley Honestly, not my fave del Toro film, but what a great cast. 7) Dune Every second of this film was just beautiful. Totally worth the hype that it got. And what I'm c...

March Break 2022

 Last week was March Break here in Canada, so I thought I'd share some pics of what we did:) First up...Niagara Falls! My middle child changed his jacket into this one. He's really into dressing nice so I told him to bring this coat with him just in case...LOLZ me sketching (my family knows that I do this when we're out and about and there's beautiful scenery outside:D) We went to the movie theatre for the first time in two years! (We watched The Batman. It was awesome.) We went to a park to enjoy the nice-ish weather we were having. What do you guys do during your spring break?

Inspiration: #Loish

 I've been a huge fan of Lois Van Baarle, or simply known as Loish , for awhile now. She's an amazing Dutch digital artist who has worked for Lego, Guerrilla Games and Coca-Cola.I just started supporting her on Patreon  , where she shares a lot of tutorials and more art work:) Her work has been such an inspiration...something about her art work just speaks to me, probably because she was influenced a lot growing up by The Little Mermaid, and that is one of my all-time favourite Disney films! I constantly turn to her two books, The Art of Loish and The Sketchbook of Loish. She also has a third one coming out soon:) Here are samples of her works (from her website ):  Even though I'm a traditional artist  and Loish's work is digital, I tend to do do a lot of studies of her works, mainly in my art journal:) I did this with watercolour, colour pencils and aquapastels from the Jane Davenport line. same as above:) I've decided to dabble with digital art, using an old draw...
