Sharing A New Art Piece

As you guys know, I’ve been loving getting into art and doing some drawing and oil pastel art instead of scrolling mindlessly. I mentioned on one of my older posts that I was currently working on a picture of Roger from American Dad!

This was one of my favourite scenes from the show and I also wanted to challenge myself with the art. Usually, I follow online tutorials but this time I decided to do everything from scratch.

I drew outlines for everything which took a while because as I’ve always said, I’m not much of an artist. Once that was done, I began the painting. Unfortunately, I didn’t have exact colours but they were close enough.

It was tedious creating something from scratch but it was also a lot more fun. I ended up taking almost a week to complete it but it was time I spent actually doing something instead of staring at a screen and that is something I count as a win.

This is the original image from the show:

Roger I Dreamt Of Paris Again Last Night American Dad

And this is what I ended up with:

Sharing A New Art Piece | Roger I Dreamt Of Paris Again Last Night American Dad Oil Pastel Art

I’m very happy with how it turned out. Is it perfect? Nope but as I’ve always said, it’s not about perfection for me when it comes to art. I just want to have a good time and not get brainrot by thirty lol.

  5. The real achievement here isn’t perfection it’s the patience to create something from scratch and enjoy the process. A week spent making art is certainly better than a week lost to mindless scrolling.

    1. Absolutely, the experience was most important. Thanks so much for the lovely comment.

  6. You are a woman of many talents Pooja.

    1. Thank you, that’s so kind of you to say.

  7. You are certainly a woman with many talents. I have never tried art. You are very talented and you will do well.

    1. Thanks so much. My great grandmother was an artist and my mum too so I think I picked up some skills from them.

        1. SP or I guess South America now lol is definitely one of the few shows that has consistently remained funny and relevant. One of the best shows out there!

          1. Yes! Totally Agree!☺️🙌

  9. Wow… waaayyy bettwr tha. Any of my artistic attempts. I think you done a mighty good job. Amd kudos on the patience to complete the project. I think you should definitely feel proud of your art.
    Great job, Pooja.

    1. Thank you so much. It was a lot of fun and I love how it turned out 😊

      1. You’re welcome, Pooja. I hope you stick with it. Finding something that brings you such joy, you should nurture it. 😊

        1. I hope to, I want to get more into hobbies and less into scrolling 🙂

          1. I feel you..ive limited my social media time in a big way. Once a month, perhaps.

            1. Same here, I try to avoid it these days. So much hate and negativity on there.

  10. You’ve done a great job, Pooja! I like how you painted it accurately, even though it’s not perfect. 👍☺️

    1. Thank you! Yeah, for me it was all about having fun with the art 😊

      1. You’re most welcome! ☺️

  11. Wow! It turned out amazing! So cool!

    1. Thank you so much!

  12. I’m so impressed, Pooja.

    1. Thanks so much.

  13. I like the fact that it took you a week. Means you didn’t just rush right through it to “get it done”.

    1. Absolutely, I would do like half an hour of art each night before bed and really took my time enjoying the process.

  14. That turned out fabulous, Pooja! 💞 I’m sticking with my art in word form, lol.

    1. Thank you! Lol 😂 well that’s a great way to be creative too! 💕

    Pretty good. There is no such thing as perfect.

    1. Absolutely and thanks so much.

  16. Wow! You did an excellent job, Pooja. Good for you for being productive.

    1. Thank you so much! It was a lot of fun 😊

      1. You’re welcome, Pooja.

  17. You did great. Keep up the good work. 🤣😎🙃

    1. Thanks so much 😊

  18. I like how you used your own color preferences to make it your own, Pooja.

    1. Thanks so much, I had a lot of fun with it.

  19. Turned out great, Pooja, and I like the effect of translating the animation into more texture. Great job with the light.

    1. Thank you so much! It was fun playing around with the colours.

  20. I love it! Art is self-expression and I don’t think that should ever be judged. <3 I am painting my bathroom right now. lol Also, I am taking art online and am currently working on a profile of a horse. It's a learning experience, which is what I wanted. Thanks for sharing, and keep doing what you love.

    1. Thank you so much! I totally agree art is very personal and subjective. That sounds amazing hope you’re online course is going well.

  21. Pretty well done with capturing perspective and details!

    1. Thank you so much!

  22. Looks like a Munch Pooj! What a scream!

    1. Hahaha thank you!

  23. Love it! Good for you. I play with my “garden”, and put collages together- of pictures and things. I think your painting is wall worthy. What size is it?

    1. Thank you! That’s great collages are still fun to put together. It’s not big enough for the wall but maybe I’ll put it up on my shelf.

  24. It is beautiful! Very well done.

    1. Thank you so much!

  25. Looks great and somewhat 3D!

    1. Thank you! I tried to bring it to life the best I could.

  26. I like all of the work but especially appreciate your use of color. Your colors add texture and render the experience of viewing more positive, overall. I made a couple of pieces of found art and wouldn’t mind doing more of that. I hope you have a fine week.

    1. Thank you, so glad you liked the art. That’s great, I hope you take it up again. Have a wonderful week too.

  27. >love this! Looks like squidward

    1. Thank you so much!

  28. looks good and a great idea. my wife has a cousin that when I first met her lived in a basement suite, so made 3 ‘windows’ the same way….two of them were of the mountains and one of her home near the ocean…

    1. Thank you. That’s very cool, she made the best of living in the basement.

  29. I love it! I’m trying to write again, for myself. I don’t care if it’s perfect. Creating is all that matters.

    1. Thank you! That’s great- yeah it’s not about perfection but rather doing what you love and enjoy.

  30. This is really good, Pooja!
    I am proud of you. Like literally.

    Yours is much better than the original.
    No need to doubt that.

    1. Thank you so much, that’s very kind of you to say!

  31. I think it’s fabulous. It’s so nice to creative projects and to get away from scrolling. I’m using my photography and designing greeting cards using Canva. I’ve printed cards on different weights of stock and finishes. I’ve finally settled on one type. Then I’m using Squarespace to set up a website and store.

    1. Thank you. Oh wow, that’s a great idea. I’m sure people would be interested in the greeting cards, your photgraphs are very good.

      1. Thanks! I’m enjoying working on this project.

        1. You’re welcome, all the best with it!

  32. So good…boundless creativity!

    1. Thank you so much!

  33. Girl look at you, you are so talented!

    1. Aw thank you!!

    Multi-talented!

  35. I think you did really well!
    And most of all you enjoyed it 😊
    Plus it took you away from the screen and doom scrolling. I’m very fortunate, maybe because I’m of a different era, that I can contain myself in terms of looking at my phone. Most of the day it just sits on the coffee table.
    My husband and I have found occupying ourselves with hobbies, particularly of an evening, is much better than watching mindless television. It’s taken some discipline but we’re getting there.

    1. Thank you! That’s great that you’re able to stay away from screens for the most part. It’s been difficult for me but I’m trying to change my habits for the better. For sure, it’s much better to do your hobbies rather than watching TV or scrolling all evening.

  36. Well done! I love American Dad, at least I did for years. I don’t watch it anymore, but Roger is just so darn funny. Great job!
    Reid

    1. Thank you! Yeah, Roger is hilarious and definitely my favourite character on the show. He’s remained consistently funny even in the latest seasons.

  37. Wow marvelous, nice work Pooja 👏👏👏

    1. Thank you so much 🙏

  38. Wow, Pooja! This is awesome! Congratulations!
    Its beautiful bright colors are vivid and appealing! 👍💕👍

    1. Thank you, it was so fun to make! ☺️

      1. You’re so welcome.. that’s the main thing!! xx

  39. I think your piece is better than the original. It has a lot more life in it. Conveys the mood better.
    I have been painting lately and it looks braver than what I usually do mostly because I have no fear of making mistakes. I mean if it looks childish I don’t care, because it is what it is.
    Looking forward to more art from Pooja 🙂

    1. Thank you so much. Oh that’s great, it’s much more fun to do art when we don’t aim for perfection and simply enjoy what we do 🙂

  40. You did a really good job on that. I would have used a not so bright blue on the shutters but you captured the scene well.

    1. Thanks so much. I didn’t have all the colours unfortunately so I went with the closest ones lol.

      1. I understand that.
