girly Pegg's

Of course I would do another Cornetto drawing. I was having fun last night with time to myself drawing away. I did a bunch of drawings while reading at the same time (not exactly at the same time but on tiny little breaks) and it was just grand having some time to just relax and not have any work to do (which is usually nice but getting to draw my own thing is much more fun). one of the drawings I did was an inspired piece by the Dole Whipettes (cc. @dolewhipettes on Instagram) you can see the drawing on their IG :)
So right before bed time I had the urge to whip up yet another Cornetto drawing and I think this has become one of my favorites. I made Simon Pegg's Cornetto characters into girls! haha. next, I would like to do Nick Frost' characters :) I think what made me draw his characters as girls was the fact that I really do have a hard time drawing guys. haha. So I gave up and decided.. hey, why not! :)

hope you all are having a lovely Tuesday so far!

a different Hunger

While I was watching tv last night, the Hunger Games Catching Fire trailer came on. I suddenly had the urge to create a Hunger Games piece since the movie is coming out very soon! I didn't feel like drawing anything illustrationy or animatey (yeah, I know, they're not words) but I wanted to created something more realistic I guess. Im always so fond of the skills people have drawing on photoshop with all these different brushes. it amazes me how real they look! So, I thought id try!
Ok, this isn't super realistic.. but im still learning. haha. ive never really drawn a person like this before and I thought drawing my version of Katniss would be a start!
Even though its not all crazy realistic with crazy shades and techniques.. I actually want to put this in my shop. I like how it turned out and im also thinking of creating her in another outfit. I also have a couple more people that I want to draw. Hopefully I have some time tonight :)

Hunger Games Catching Fire is out in theaters November 22nd.
im so excited. every time I see the trailer I get goose bumps and teary eyed. haha.

info : shop & me

Since the Holidays are approaching and my trip to Hawaii is super duper soon, here are some info about whats going on at Pretty Clementine and also with me.
Custom Couple Portraits - I will be taking the last batch of portraits (well, all customs) on November 20th and will have them done before Thanksgiving. Customs will resume the beginning of January. Any Purchases from my shop from December 6th through December 15th all orders will be shipped on Tuesday the 17th of December. Other than customs and not getting things shipped the week I am in Hawaii the shop is all good ;)

Id also just like to thank everyone who has visited and ordered from Pretty Clementine! ive had my shop for almost two years (started with Etsy) and it has finally started to rocket (there has definitely been some depressing moments, wondering if my shop would ever really take off.. but I know it always requires patience)! im so incredibly blessed and especially thankful to everyone for being so supportive and for just liking my art, period. Every kind word.. I really take that to heart & it really makes my dream more possible.

I really have been drawing since I could hold a pencil and since I was younger (sitting in front of the tv, drawing Daria characters) I knew I wanted to be an Artist. Growing up in a traditional Filipino family that wants you to become a nurse, I had a lot of convincing to do with my father and some of my family. making sure they knew that drawing is something I want to do for the rest of my life. Ive made it my major attending junior colleges and then attending the Art Institute majoring in Media Arts and Animation. And though I did not finish (finding a job to pay my rent and a lot of my bills was too important to pay for an expensive school), im glad I went there because I learned so much, met so many great & talented people and I really wouldn't have the mind set I have today.

Its incredibly hard work trying to get yourself and your work out there! Honestly, I have a lot of people to thank for that! So, thank you to those who have played some parts in my play :) I have really met some wonderful and super kind people on blogs and instagram.. I hope to meet all of you in person some day!

ok, enough of my sappiness :) haha.
I hope you all had a lovely weekend and hope your week is blessed!

p.s. I watched Thor The Dark World twice this past weekend. yes, its pretty dang good. #TeamLoki

geek love by rosaclementine

 

 

Happy Friday!! ive put together a bunch of awesome geek like things I have been wanting!!

 

♥  Scrolling through Forever 21's website (finding clothes for Hawaii hehe) I stumbled upon THIS awesome Simpsons sweater. OMG. as a long time fan.. I just gotta have it!

 

♥  Yummy You! scarf by Twinkie Chan on Modcloth! whaaaaa?? I would say this is more in the ADORABLEY CUTE than geeky category though. such a fan of hers!

 

♥  Mermaid bookends! Mermaids! Books! Double amazing! I go kinda nuts seeing awesome bookends like this! My most favorite(s) though? the Star Wars ones!

 

♥  now if only they had Scotty! haha but these Star Trek salt and pepper shakers are on my list for my future home! I need these!

 

♥  Shakespeare and Star Wars.. now that's my kind of combo. I have a Star wars collection and a small collection of Shakespeare books and I would love to add this William Shakespeare's Star Wars book! This is actually A MUST HAVE!

 

♥  This duvet cover is pretty pricey for me and if any of you find something similar & cheap please let me know! I love this so much!

 

♥  When I saw this Clock I immediately thought of Peter Pan! I want this in my home!

 

♥  So im kind of getting tired of unplugging and plugging the different USB cords to my computer when im working.. I should probably consider purchasing a USB hub! I found this Cloud USB Hub that I am thinking of getting soon!
