Does this count as studying?

* Mood: Panic
* Listening to: "I Walk Alone"-Oleander

I've been reading up on the rule of thirds and colour theory and what attracts people and the like. I feel like one of those people that are paid to find out what's "hip and cool" in the "teen scene"; I've been looking up what colours attract teens and patterns and whatever else I could link together--all to find out how to make a good cover for the comic that can attract those silly people at Chibi-Pa this September.

Here's the thing: I only like researching and studying when it interests me. Who doesn't? That's why I want to majour in art and psychology; they're related anyway. Plus, it's great for comicking-you learn what your audience likes and doesn't like. I'm proud of my notes =D

Almost everyone knows about my fear of vacuum cleaners. Well, it was thundering big this afternoon(just ended a couple minutes ago) and I looked up thunder on Wikipedia to know more about 'em. Well, now I know why I don't like thunder either--vacuum related =(

Ok, I'm off for more research!! Mo, I need to lineart the main part of the cover and send it to V-I'm still working on the background. Cal, nothing for you to correct yet.

Resolve for Hair Dye

External Image I finally solved my hair dying problems!! Here's the thing-my hair is naturally black(woot Filipino genes), so it always feels like such a waste after I dye it a colour I know will look horrible after it fades(like my recent red/pink/orange/yellow fiasco). Well, it's been 2 months and my hair colour is so nashtay(nasty), and after much pondering and interwebzing, I finally came up with a solution!! This time around, I'm gonna dye my hair back to it's original awesome black. THEN, I'm going to use semi-/demi-permanent hair dye from now on! I CAN DYE MY WHOLE HEAD FIRE COLOURED!!!!(omfg?!) I thank Minto for telling me about semi-permanent hair dye, cuz that's what really got me thinking about it cuz I was just considering leaving my hair black or dying over these awful colours =/

Well, anybody up for suggestions on hair colours? Link me if ya can and I'll check it out!(And I'll keep ya updated with my hair colours with photos, of course =D)

PS-I put a bow on me head earlier XD here's a pic! All I'm missing is some lolita dress or something...(btw, KF doesn't do frills;she enjoys the movement of her limbs)

Hey, Lookit This! XD

One of my friends, BlizBlaze, coloured my drawing of KaidaFaye and her keytar! I love her orange hair-even though her hair is actually black with streaks, I was planning on having her dye her hair orange at some point, so now I have some reference-woo!

PS-I finally made a deviantArt! XD

Duct Tape and Other Rather Helpful Household Objects

Duct tape is amazing. It can get rid of warts if you wrap it around the area. It can be a temporary window-crack sealer. It also keeps up the ceiling beams in my school's Engineering Acadamy. That's right-it's keeping the CEILING up.
What's also useful is super glue. It's actually holding my shoe together as we speak-it's drying. You know how on Converse sneakers the stripe around the rubber of the shoe comes off first? Well, my stripes are still intact-it's the rubber on the bottom of the shoe that was the problem. My light table is holding the shoe and the bottom rubber sole together as the glue dries.
Well, that's basically it for today. Oh!
I'm redying my hair...how should I do it?
1. Dye it back to my original colour?(black)
2. Streak it dark/bold reds
3. Try out this certain dye: it's called Loreal paris-couleur experte(3.5 Cherry Chocolate Mousse. It's really pretty, look it up!
4. Redye it what I had before(red, blonde, and my original black as the base colour)
