hello, human(s)! welcome back to my blog. :)

it has been months since i last posted a thing. so let me just... drop another post then disappear again for a few months. lol half kidding.
anyways! why am i here? what am i now? (*harry styles voice*) what if i'm someone you wo-- ay um.
i'm here to tell you little updates and something i (re)discovered.
so. . . what's "artamarie"?

well. . . besides the fact that it is a bad pun of my blog and nickname, it is what I'm calling (and dropping) my art stuff. all my paintings, doodles, sketches, digital illustrations, and everything i'll be doing concerning art.
i've been in love with art for quite some time now. (well. . . "in love" is such a strong word, let's just use "dedicated". uh. i guess?)

more details and updates about your girl, nik. i've been:
1.) painting! digital and traditional painting, that is. 
- i just love how the colors mix with one another and how flowy the brush is when it gets in contact with the canvas.

2.) digital illustrations. 
- made by yours truly. and some are for "draw this in your style" challenges. i've come up with different ideas to draw soon. and i'm really excited to show it. i'm currently doing a feelings lately series. (will write and compile all of it once i finished the illustrations.)

3.) accepting commissions!
- yes, i've been accepting commissions/customized orders for my coin purses, pouches and totebags. very very very very blessed to be surrounded with people who support and love my art. aaaahckkkkkk

4.) stickers
- no description found. loljk. keep your eyes... peeled. (okay, bad pun.)

5.) stay at home
- well. . . there's this virus that's sending a lot of panic to all of us that most people are staying at home. y'all know what i'm talking about. but hey. stay safe. hope and pray that all this panic will pass. wash your hands and also, clean your phones. :/
(p.s. DON'T HOARD ALCOHOL AND MASKS YOU LITTLE T-- yeah. please don't.)



i guess that's all for now. i really need to start on my online assessments. (look at me cramming by creating a blog post. lol.)
thank you for reading! see you next time! stay safe and God bless.

- Nik

It's been months since I last blogged and I have a lot of draft posts but I haven't posted anything. Good thing it's our semester break, I'm going to blog twice this October. And yeah, I've been pretty busy with school; I haven't been reading books since the last week of August, Exam week passed, my birthday passed, School activities to join and help, and lastly, I have been sketching, painting and selling stuff on our online shop. Told you I've been busy. And here's what I painted when I had a short "vacation" from blogging and reading books.



This is Birdy. Well, mouth less Birdy. This is the first picture on my drawing book that I actually painted. I did it on 31st of August. I can't help but feel proud about it. Hehe.


This is my second drawing. It was inspired from my September Issue of Candy Magazine and Lana Del Rey. I was listening to her album that night. (9/5/2014)



After two days, I started searching for drawing inspirations on google and tumblr. I found a girl skeleton wearing sunglasses so I gave it a try. Here's my third drawing. I added accessories like a tattoo choker necklace (I've been obsessed with those. No regrets.), Dyed hair, and clothes. (9/7/14)
