tumblr and Some Goals

Yeah, I've had one for a while, but I've been steadily been using it more, mainly to post comics and art that...I already post here. But if you have one of those, drop by, maybe subscribe and I'll do the same to you =)

So, I've decided to do one drawing a day until Christmas. So far, it's working out. I think after a week or two it'll become automatic. I used to be able to draw every day without thinking but it's getting harder and harder to focus and/or be creative. So, to speed up my drawing time and to overall get better I've been just using my friends' pictures as references to convert into manga form. So far it's been working, and I had a little bit of creativity in my newest upload of Calvin and his cat/kitten, Henrik. And sometimes I'm too lazy to draw out G33K!! Offline, so I've just been noting them in my sketchbook to draw later...I'll get around to it eventually, lol.

I'm still waiting on the new Wacom tablet that my dad promised me before this semester started. Gui was able to get Manga Studio on my computer, so I really really want to use it so I can start making G33K!! Until then, I'll brush up on my drawing skills.

Well, those are the updates. Bye bye!

Getting New Sketchbooks Makes Me Feel Awkward =(

It really does. Maybe it's because I mostly draw manga and the fact that I'm still mediocre when it comes to realism and other art forms...I'd feel better if I could make my sketchbook(but I don't have the right paper for that, since I'll be painting in this thing, too). The fact that my mom is being critical of me throughout the whole trip, like saying "the paper is the same" or "those aren't sketchbooks"(when they really are). The best sketchbook I could find, since the bookstore was the only place open right now, was one with one of those wooden-drawing-figures in the corner of it...it practically screams "I'M GONNA DRAW, SO I'M GETTING THIS STEREOTYPICAL SKETCHBOOK =B"...I'm self-conscious when it comes to things like that. Like carrying around educational books to make up for the pile of manga I have in my arms...well, back then--now I read everything online, so that's not really a current problem.

Anyway, tried to draw BoA from a reference shot(not in the sketchbook, on a piece of paper...with blue crayon), and it wasn't very good =( I'll scan it in later--there's so many mistakes in it DX

I'm gonna go decorate my stereotypical sketchbook now =D BAICAN'TWAITFORMYFIRSTAPSTUDIOART2DCLASSTOMORRO W<3
