Untitled Poetry #001 (an original poetry and artwork process)
As I was reading random BL manga (again), words suddenly flew into me and I just had to stop everything I'm doing, get pen and notebook and write those words before they slip my mind. Oftentimes, it happens... so I decided to make it into a series which I'd be calling "Untitled Poetry".
And since this is gonna be my first entry, I decided to make it into an artwork. The poem, itself, is just a 2-stanza poem but I hope you like it. Below, I'll also be including the process of the artwork.
Untitled Poem #001
Your bright smile filled my then empty heart with oozing delight
The radiance that's seeping from deep within
Exploded like fireworks bringing my world to a spin
Your presence is the rainbow after a heavy rain
Looking at you, even from afar, takes away the pain
The pain that grew with me from the moment I opened my eyes
That this beautiful world is covered with dreadful lies

Now, as for this artwork, I used my watercolor pad, pencil, pen, watercolor pallet, some poster paints, paint brushes, tissue, white paint marker, masking tape and scissors.
Of course, before I started with the artwork, I wrote the poem first on my notebook.
Then, I prepared my watercolor pad by lining it out with some masking tape.
Using the pen on the picture above, I wrote the poem in my own style, but it was too thin, so I decided to coat it with a thicker pen.
Using my watercolor palette, I painted the page diagonally using darker colors on the upper part and brighter colors on the lower part. I then dabbed it with tissue to remove excess water.
Beside the first stanza, I painted the night sky using poster paints... while below, I painted a rainbow.
After completing the artwork, I took off the masking tape around it, attached my username, signature and the date today.
Lastly, I scanned the artwork and made some adjustments.
And that's it... :) I hope you enjoyed my poem as well as my artwork. I'm really happy because somehow, I was able to do things that I love altogether... painting and writing poetry.
Thank you so much for checking it out! Until next time! :D
