I first drew this on my flight back from home the summer before last, and colored it a couple of weeks later. I was using a manga drawing workbook then, and while I still haven't finished all the lessons, that doesn't mean I don't intend to. Those books have some good stuff, sir.

... Now, if I can find a good one on CG that I can understand, I'll be right as rain. Though I can't understand how rain can be right. I can understand why it's wet, and cold, and a little depressing, but right? Maybe it's an alliteration thing...

I had this great idea to, uh, let someone know that hope is not dead. A Series of Events (at deviantArt, FF dot net) will get done, I swear. So if you're curious as to what the hell I have been doing to make sure it's getting done:

( Earlier... stuff )

12/21: (I wonder if there's such a thing as Jivejournal...) Finally finished the (3rd??!!!) draft of the next part, but the end doesn't seem to be enough... and the part, as a whole, seems too long. And the language is kind of sucky... What a conundrum. Also, am thinking of skipping the next major canon scene, and maybe the Snape/Harry scene after that one, and going straight to the... wait... I'm getting myself a bit confused. Never mind. (There is... and it's owned by some dude in China. That's... wierd.)

More as I do it...

Cheers! ^_^

First drawing in MONTHS, and it's a thin-limbed pretty boy. The framework reminded me of Terminator.

Worked off and on all day, say about a hour once you add it all up. Right now I'm working on giving him clothes. Trying to make him look vulnerable and something to protect.

Wow, do I fail at anatomy or what. :)

Probably because that's how I'm feeling as well. :D

Love and kisses!

So...

At the moment, there are four things I want to improve: Japanese, Art, Writing, and Sewing. I call it...

J.A.W.S.

Cue John Williams-penned theme.

It's a little difficult to focus on these four things, though. Because I'm lazy.

Let's try this again.

... Still a half-hour's work. Still unwilling to actually finish a picture.

I am a big old ball of fail. It's a bit pathetic.

... I'm gonna go eat something. Maybe that bbq pork I bought in Chinatown yesterday. It looked really yummy in the window.

Ta ta!

I think I'm this close to throwing this computer against the wall. You'll be surprised how well keyboard problems could drive one crazy. (I only used this computer for drawing, so I never knew I would keep having the problem of not being able to type in English.

This took only a half hour, which is bad. I've been trying to draw anything for two hours now. :( I'm trying to work on a random piece for an hour and a half, as opposed to my usual 30 minutes, so I'm a little disappointed with myself.

I'm going to try again (I'm not allowing myself to stop until 7, I think.) Maybe I won't feel so disappointed later.

Much love!!!

Not what I was going for tonight, but it'll do.

About an hour doodling around.

... I like the hair. Then I started getting bored, and it's late, so I'm leaving the rest of it for tomorrow.

So I only got about an hour's practice in tonight. That's... not exactly what I was hoping for. I was actually hoping to make for at least one and a half, if not two, but I'm much too tired, and there's work to deal with in the morning. :(

Tomorrow is another day.

It was terribly hot today. I slept during most of it.

It wasn't that great of an idea then, either.

I intend to get out of the house tomorrow.

Today's doodle: Beats me. Corel Painter Essentials.
