WARNING: You are about to see a very ugly drawing! LOL!

Before anything else. Big thanks to Ate Dhadha, Sheryl, Ayie, and Aisha for helping me book a ticket for a very special trip. I was having problem with my Visa/Eon account so I can’t use it in buying etickets. Thank you so much for your help pretty girls.

Now moving on.. What’s with the title? Well, I love playing with colors. Especially with oil pastel’s colors. Easy to blend, easy to use. But I don’t really use oil pastels on portraits. I usually do it with ordinary pencils or charcoal pencils. So this is something new and somehow totally challenging. The portrait doesn’t really look so good. Please bare with me. It’s my first time to make a portrait using oil pastels. I made this for 2 hours only, so this isn’t really such a materpiece.

warning: this post contains elements of nudity and obscene pictures.

“Art is never pure, we should keep it far away from the innocent ignorant. We should never let people approach. Yes, art is dangerous. If it is pure it is not art.” - Pablo Picasso

The true essence of art is beauty, joined with the desire for sensual pleasures of the nude, which often end up and confused with vulgarity. Nudity is always disquieting, causing confusions to the ignorants. It’s instigation, causing too much deliberation and arguement in the religious sector. But at the same time, it’s also surprising, making people wonder and amaze how someone can make great masterpiece out of nude models.

Yes, I’ve been so stressed-out for these past days. I’ve been crying everyday for a really not sensible reason. Well, not for me. Yeah too many problems thats’ crowding over me. And everytime I go through this the only way to calm down and alleviate the emotion is to get a pencil and a paper and draw anything I want to draw. This is the other side of me. While I was making this I thought how cruel life is.
