One INCREDIBLY talented person

art vs artist 2024!

i used sooo much blue and yellow this year, maybe next year ill branch out to more colours but i cant help that blue and yellow are just the best colours for drawing.

here are my favourite works for each month of 2024!

january:

I used colour layer modes instead of colouring 'organically', but this was the first time I made a drawing in full colour and actually really liked it. this was before i started painting colours directly into my drawings but its a great effort and i learned a lot about colour layer modes here!

february:

didn't make much great art this month but this sketch scratches my brain correctly. the contrast the hatching the lighting!!!! this was where i started being obsessed with the different forms you can manage to portray with just a little rimlight

march:

possibly one of my favourites of the WHOLE YEAR. Inspired by Andrew Salgado's work, I'm a huge fan of his stuff. In this I learned that colours are literally stupid and if you don't care about logic, you can actually make something very distinctive and somewhat abstract work. Kick-started my whole journey to learning colours so this was probably one of my most important pieces i've ever made

April:

again, not much good art but this is nice I guess. drew this for the anniversary of senna's death, i like the polaroidy feel

may:

I LOVE my may era. Most of everything was done with this oil painter brush I found and it just went very painterly and kinda abstract with strokes and colours, was a month of experimentation for sure

june:

I didn't like this very much when I made it originally, but looking back I love the kinda creaminess of this piece. I haven't really been able to recreate that effect so far though, so this one stands out to me for sure

july:

Not a fantastic art month for me, but I was experimenting with textures in this piece and learned a lot of what I SHOULDN'T do. Very useful

August

I made this piece because I hadn't spotted any other lesteban enjoyers in the wild. Idk the colours in this just came out very easily which is always enjoyable

September:

GRAHHHB the colours in this have me in a CHOKEHOLD the DESATURATED BLUE SHADOWS and PINK CHEEKS!!! This definitely isn't my best of the month but it BRINGS ME A LOT OF JOY OKAY I suddenly turned into an Esteban superfan in theast fiveish months of the year. so dumb that like one of my favourite pieces ever was a shitpost

November:

the textures the eyelash shadow. PERIODD!! the first of my f1 x gladiator series, i just love this a lot even if it doesn't look like max

december:

one of the best of my whole year tbh. Like the final boss where you use all the stuff you learned throughout your journey. The jewellery okay divaaa

okay very long post but i hope you guys like it!! thank you everyone for the support i've received this year you guys are the best

100% a Max fan but imagine if Max had put it in the wall and brought out a red flag. That would have been a HULK POLE!!

Also, chatgpt puts out content that you would favour if you give it the right cues previously.

I think it’s about time we get an unbiased opinion on the whole team player situation post LV24 a.k.a Chat GPT.

All I want now is for Charles to win the Abu Dhabi GP and snatch that WDC P2 from Norris PLEASE GOD

[escapemodeon-blog]

something something schedule idk

What on Earth is going on in the house of Formula 1

But for real though, why did Norris gift this win to Piastri? It makes sense to move over when one of the drivers is fighting for the championship and I understand giving DRS to your teammate to help defend, but what is this?

One of the commentators said it was returning a favour done by Piastri in an earlier race, but surely Piastri would be 4th in the standings no matter how many points he got in this Sprint.

If anyone has a solid explanation please let me know.

FERRARIS BE HUNTING

Do you know what the “carlos chalked lando’s hair pink” moment is from? A video or anecdote?

I honestly don’t think I remember that moment [shame on me] BUT I found a post and a video (from Carlos’ ig stories):

Anyone knows the context? Maybe @someone-worth-racing-for @palalabu @carlando 🙏
