This is a journey into the unknown vastness --- into the greatness and grandness of its bewildering mysteries, giving us a blow of enormous questionings which are way too turbulent to grasp. An expedition into a puzzling multiverse beyond any human imagination has ever expanded or explored. The immensely huge galaxy, which has given us a breathtaking glimpse of the constellation of billions (trillions?!) of sparkling stars, despite many space explorations that were countlessly launched, has still left mankind with raising more of its seemingly-endless queries instead of finding answers.
And this is the complex wonders and all the glimmering beauties that it possessed, on how my eyes perceived it to be --- in the piece of art.
Hello HivePh community!
I know I am a bit late for this HivePH Art Challenge: Sining at Likhain , or am I?!
At first, I was hesitant to join because I was not used to joining any contests since I got onboarded on Hive. But due to a constant a̶n̶n̶o̶y̶a̶n̶c̶e̶ encouragement of my dear friend @bluepark, well thanks to her, who was persistent in motivating me to submit an entry (she was so eager that she even posted this) and then I thought to myself, why not?! And tadaaaa!!! Here I am, finally giving it a try.
The #galaxy, yes I am fascinated with those stars, planets, and everything that unknowingly exists, that create a stunning magic of billion sparks that has left my #eyes forever in awe. I also added the flowers for #PickYourOwnDesign because in this world full of prickly challenges, these lovely things are my happy pill.
As the traditional art-enthusiast soul in me finally took a pinch of guts to share with you a glimpse of how my chosen prompts were done, using pencil and blue ballpen, though I am not used to using this because I am used to painting with acrylic as my favorite medium, this one was inkcredibly fun. And so it's of great pleasure to show you these - the progress...
🔸With the use of a pencil, I first sketched the image, the eyes. I had to make sure it could be the most beautiful and tantalizing thing that anyone could ever lay their eyes on as she will be placed at the center. The image should be well-emphasized. I hope I gave it justice, LOL!
🔸Next, I used the ballpen to highlight the eye image. I shaded the parts of the eye (the pupil, iris, etc. - some other parts I could barely remember because maybe I was absent when it was taught in school). And then I also emphasized the long wavy eyelashes, and the eyebrow as well. I was happy with how she is starting to look so lovely now.
🔸And then with the use of pencil again, this time I added to sketch the different images that needed to be added to make it look like a galaxy. I also added flowers to it because I want the galaxy to be beautiful and these lovely florals are my way of my saying it.
🔸Then, I picked up my ballpen again to highlight the different images in the galaxy, and also the flowers. Some were outlined with thick lines, and some were with thin lines. I made sure that there were different thicknesses so it would not be that boring.
🔸 And the final image...I added dots in the background to make them look like distant-twinkling stars, added my signature and it's done! 🎨
As the galaxy is nothing but blurry shimmers of billions of unknowns and uncertainties that spark us with more curiosities,and so is life.
It is indeed a wide pathway of complex uncertainties. We are nothing but among those tiniest remnants of dust floating in the dark. While we are still here, among those trillion fragments in the vast universe that are all bound to perish, we might as well make the most out of it as we may only float here once. Let our eyes explore and let them have the power to take control of how life should galactically evolve around us.It could be either a bloom of beautiful roses or a painful thorn.
It could be either a heavy rain or a beautiful rainbow.
It could be either a dark vast space or a billion glittering stars.
Or it could be either a dark cloud or a silver lining.
It could be everything that we choose or want to see.
This is my curated universe. In the vast darkness of doubts and fears --- let your star shines brighter.✨
A stellar light could spark in our eyes, which could illuminate our universe as how we perceived life.
Thank you @hiveph for this INKredible experience and opportunity as spearheaded by @jude.villarta and @sensiblecast . There is no guarantee of this entry winning, but surely there is no loss in trying. ☺️
