I drew some faces!

Hm, so after I dropped off my form for renewing my passport, I thought I’d just take a stroll to Suntec City. Went into HMV, but not before gawking at Sony’s new 11″ OEL TV. Now right next to it was Sony’s new 70″ Bravia X HDTV but I found it really amusing that everything looked amazingly better on the OEL TV. It was just sharper, there was far more detail and then there’s the insane million to one contrast ratio. Anyway, I digress. Picked up Utada Hikaru’s latest album, Heart Station, at HMV. She looks so different compared to when I first started listening to her music. I’m totally in love with the track Beautiful World.

Update: I just listened to Boku wa Kuma(I’m a Bear), and wow, that’s the cutest song I’ve heard from Hikaru, ever!

Anyway, here’s a facebook graffiti I drew for a friend (Lauren/Oathy from KHInsider.com). She played Selphie in episode 5 of Team Johnnycake’s Kingdom Hearts spoof. It was hilariously epic!

Just finished replaying Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty. This came to mind when Rose confronted Raiden about his room and also when Raiden later recalls why he had sleeping problems.

I had originally planned to photoshop this, but decided I should probably play around with some traditional media instead. So, this was done entirely with a nib, a flat brush (it’s all I had access to, all my brushes are in Canada!) and a bottle of India Ink. I have a feeling I’m losing my control over brushes, guess I should use them more often.

Well I haven’t updated for a couple of weeks, thought I should probably put something up.

Spent about an hour or 2 on the Swordswoman with an H and 2B pencil. It’s been a while since I actually sat down and used a pencil to draw for more than 10 minutes. Lately, I’ve only been using Photoshop for everything. Anyway, this was fun, I’ll be doing more.

Oh, and here’s a pouting Akemi.

Here’s a sneak peak of the next chapter of my comic, along with some doodle I did while trying out the new brush pen I bought.

I’m in need of money at the moment, yes I have considered getting a part time job, but unfortunately it’s not that easy for me to leave the house as I’m taking care of my grandparents. Anyway, I thought this was a good opportunity to build up some experience in this field, as well as adding to my portfolio.

Still doing some practice with animals, this time it’s a leopard, next up is a badger (thanks to my sis for all the suggestions, haha). Also, making some gruelingly slow progress on the Toph piece. I’ve also started work on a piece that should’ve been done almost a year ago, it’s a fanart of Luke from the game Tales of the Abyss for my friend in Canada. She requested it a year ago, heheh.

I just bought 2 new sketchbooks, ones with hard covers, side binding, and white paper. The first one I bought actually had a yellow tint to the paper, which I didn’t quite like. It was binded by glue at the top, which made drawing on my table even more troublesome as I don’t have a lot of space on it to begin with. Scanning’s also a lot better now. Anyway, I’m now totally pumped up to draw in my sketchbook everyday as it’s no longer a chore! Haha, and here’s the first few sketches I’ve done. Oh Akemi, how I’ve missed you so!

By the way, I finally found this drawing I did 2 years ago! That’s my friend, Krissy, in the car and me on the bicycle. Haha, such good times. Anyway, I plan on finishing that along with another drawing for a friend…which I have yet to get started on…Sorry Melissa! I kinda doubt you’re reading this though, haha.

Started thumbnailing again, it’s amazing what a difference thumbnails can make when working on something, as opposed to simply winging it. I find it seriously helpful and should do it more often.
