This is a scientific Illustration of my scorpion that I ordered online! The process consisted of rehydrating the specimen as well as pinning it into place on a piece of foam board. The end product was completed using carbon dust as well as carbon pencil to achieve the rich dark values within the subject! hope you guys enjoy!

ART

Art is everything. Art is about life. It reflects feelings and emotions. Negative versus positive. Beliefs and thought processes. Organic and artificial. Art changes and affects everything. Art is MY everything.

Bunny falls asleep

[llttlesophie-moved-blog]

bun didn’t actually fall asleep!! bunnies flop over like this when they feel safe and comfortable in their environment. they rarely stretch out and lay down because they’re prey animals, so when ur bun does completely lays on their side or their back, it means they feel 10000% safe around you

Speech Struggles

Hey! I know public speaking is something a lot of people have trouble with. I, myself, have trouble dealing with it. But I have some tips on how to make it easier on you and your sanity. First, always stay positive. Putting yourself down is just making it so much more hard. Common sense? Maybe. But a lot of people who deal with anxiety or any fear of public speaking, may not realize, or even be able to control their negative thoughts. Second, BREATH! I can't stress enough how important this is. If your prone to panic attacks or passing out, one of the best ways to prevent this from happening is allowing oxygen to get to your brain. So breath as much as you can but slowly so that you don't speed up your heart rate. Lastly, don't look at your audience. For me, lots of eyes that are focused on what I'm doing, freaks me out. If you're the same way, try looking right above the tops of everyones heads. This way no one will notice you're not actually looking at them. :3
