Finals week

It's finals week! There may or may not be updates until Thursday when I finish. :O Probably won't be.

Daydream

MMmmm... not much to say about this one. I was sitting like this before I drew it, so I decided to draw someone doing the same pose. ( ._.)a

Some parts of this I'm not too satisfied with, like I think her right arm is a little too big, and some other things could use proportion fixes. I can't draw... chests right. On guys or girls. Guys don't have cardboard-box-shaped torsos, and I can't get girl's chests right either. :( Anatomy study? :O

Edit: Holy crap, did I really miss out on that many days? I thought I only took a break for a day... talk about loss of sense of time. :(

....

I drew something today. But...

It's the back of a naked guy.

... I'll refrain from posting it. :( hahaha. I actually had something planned out, but when I looked for a reference, I found a bunch of... nude male models. It was a pretty awkward moment for me. No private parts, but lots of buttocks. BUTTOCKS. And then in the end all of a sudden my sketch turned into a... fairly-not-really detailed sketch of a naked guy's back. Then I stopped.

Well, it was an interesting experience.

...

Kung Fu Love

It's Ichimoji and Hana from Yasuhiro Aoki's Kung Fu Love

Haha. I dunno. Ichimoji (Guy on the right) seems strangely thin to me. His hand (it's facing the right direction, I swear) just isn't coming out right. The one he's extending behind him I mean. The two faces in the back/on top are kinda stretched too.

The picture isn't done. :( But... I'm feeling kind of tired. And hungry. The latter means I should sleep now so I can wake up for breakfast. :D haha. From my history, usually if I don't finish a picture within one sitting, the chances of it being finished later are fairly small. Still, I'll probably try to pick it back up tomorrow. :O I like how it's coming out. Especially Hana in the lower left. She was drawn first. Figures. Everything I draw first usually comes out better than the stuff I try to accompany with it. :(

Oh yeah. openCanvas died on me. :( It happened after I tried using openCanvas 3.03, and then after that it crashes on me sometimes when I try to save using openCanvas 4.06. :( :( :( It's SUPER SADFACE when that happens, because sometimes I draw for like half an hour without stopping to save, and then when it DIES. It sucks, especially when I like how it's coming out - which is usually why I'm drawing for so long without saving in the first place. DEATH

Therefore I'm reverting to old-school pencil and paper until I can either fix it, reformat, or try to get Photoshop to do the same effects, which it doesn't seem like it likes doing. D:

Tux and Dress

Uhhh. I had a better picture. But... openCanvas crashed on me when I clicked on the save picture. It's already so late so I just drew whatever. :( haha.

I should be getting back to my regular schedule. I might draw more and more crappy pictures though, since sometimes I don't feel too much like trying, and if I push myself too hard on it then I'll lose interest.

I've also recently been experimenting with flash and animation. :D Maybe I'll post some of the stuff I've been working on later. D:

Hiatus.

Bloof. I missed SO MANY POSTS. :( I think it's safe to assume I won't be getting back to it until the end of this week either. This week = super work week. :( So... yeah, I've been taking a short hiatus, and it'll continue until at least the end of this week. Lose!

Blurgf.

Well... that was interesting.

There's a good reason why I suck. There really is.

...

Well... I have this paper I need to turn in in film class within 2 weeks.

... Yeah. I guess that's why. I never really relax because I feel like it's creeping up on me.

PERFECTLY GOOD REASON WHY I SUCK. AHOUFGHNADJBNDB

Hawk

He reminded me of a hawk.

... that is all.

I haven't been drawing anything complex lately. :( Either because I end up eating my time with video games, or because I have work. Usually a combination of the two. :( Man... I want to get over the workload hill so I can get bored and draw more. Otherwise I kinda just wing everything. Doh. x(

Sleep

I slept... a lot today. A LOT. So... I was thinking of drawing Sloth from Full Metal Alchemist, but... she doesn't look very characteristic of the sin she embodies. haha. So... I drew a crappy picture of me falling asleep at my desk. It sucks.

Gluttony.

Lately, I've been at a loss for what to draw. So... I try to do something that comes to my head first.

So... tonight, I felt like eating. BUT IT WAS SO LATE. Like... at 11:30. I have this thing where I don't eat at least 3 hours before I sleep (otherwise I heard you get fat? D:) So... I was like hmm.... eating... that's like... GLUTTONY. So... I drew Full Metal Alchemist's Gluttony. HAAHAHAHA. =_=

Do you like how he's pointing at you? :D hehehehehe.

I figured drawing him would be a nice change of things. It's kind of challenging since I have to draw everything in... big proportions. Because he's... a bit overweight, you know? I guess I didn't push myself as much as I could've, seeing as how I only drew a closeup of him. It was an experience drawing his chubby face though, and I'm not so used to drawing such thick fingers on a hand. haha. I still feel like it's kind of weird (his hand that is). It originally wasn't there, but I thought I should try a little harder than that so I drew the hand. haha. Came out better than I thought it would, but there's still some things that are weird. Like his wrist.

His face was interesting to draw too. Interesting expression. :D His nose is kind of comical too.

Oh yeah, he's saying "Tabette... ii?" which means... "Can I eat it?" SO DO YOU LIKE HOW HE'S POINTING AT YOU? :D

Oh yeah. Here's the reference I found randomly using Google image search.

k. sreep.

WHAT. (Mikan)

WHERE ARE THE UPDATES? OUADFHGODAUJFBNFDAABNFD.

This... is Mikan. Inamori Mika. From Manabi Straight! (aka. Gakuen Utopia Manabi Straight!) It's uber. She does this half-cat-like mouth all the time, and I thought it was cute, so I drew her. D: Wasn't really sure what else to draw, and it was already late, too, but I ended up working on it until 1:30 anyway, because I thought I should try something new and I did it painter-style. I couldn't bring out the mouth though so I cheated and actually drew black lines on it, and I feel like all that happened was that I made it look like she has a mustache. FAIL.

Here's the reference picture if you want to see what I mean. And another where it's more prevalent.

As for all those days I missed... hmmm... I'm not sure I'll make them up. Some days I forgot, and then when I realized I kinda just wanted to take a break. haha. Here's a sketch I did last week though, it's not very good and I don't have anything to say about it. It's not even titled because I don't know what to title it. Anyway, here it is D:
