Unpretty

Yay, it is done! I gotta say, my comfort zone is drawing portraits/ bust up. I know, so lazy of me D: But hey! Trying to improve even if just a little~ I have been reading quite a lot of tutorials (if you wanna mention any, I deeply appreaciate XD) and I think I'm ready to get out of the comfort zone since I am content with my style, now. I'm just gonna embrace anime because it makes me happy!

Progress shots are in previous entries: #1 and #2

I have accepted the fact that it is much easier for me to work with just one layer, or two. I just start to sketch and then refining till I have some sort of outline, then work filling spaces up. I rather just "erase" by filling with the background color or whatever than dealing with a lot of layers lol.
I also have a liking to paintings with a certain roughness, and brush strokes~


Well, for the drawing itself!
I had mentioned before about my idea for this picture and it was inspired in TLC's "Unpretty" music video.
Goodness, I loved this video since I first saw it back then, still a teenager -/sob years go by so fast...

I still find both song and video beautiful (but the nostalgia might be speaking here).
I wanted to somehow express about conqueering acceptance over the inner conflicts one can go through in the course of their lives.

I talk a lot, don't I?  ( • ∀•)


Still on the music subject. I was remembering how in highschool I was so addicted to pump it up.. yes.. I was such a DDR freak! hahahah
So I started to search some of the songs I used to love to dance omg ;_; the nostalgiaaaaaaaa
Because I cannot resist, will embed one video of one of the songs T_T sorry

I loved the classical songs remixes *u*

Alright I think that's it XD
Untill next time~
<3

Ahh this is a quick sketch I made of main character of Earth girl Arjuna~

It's an ecologically correct anime and I don't think many people know it XD

I remember watching this maybe 10 years ago? On Locomotion channel (which died -sob) and I fell in love with the theme song, "Mameshiba" by Sakamoto Maaya. Even now, I still love that song! 

All I can say is, whatever music Kanno Yoko touches is amazing ;_;

Sorry for such a simple sketch..

Either way, I'll do my best in coloring it~

To fill this post and so it won't feel so empty, I'm adding the progress of the drawing I posted last time

See you soon!

Back!

I returned, after a long long time! Sorry about that!
Decided to start using this blog again, for sketches and everything :D I also feel like writing in english because it feels as comfortable as my first language =3=;; Sorry about that as well!

Since my last post, things changed a lot in my personal life but I don't feel like I upgraded a lot, art-wise XD I feel like I'm working slowly but eh, I'm happy! Let's get goinngggg~~

Okayyyy time for a sketch! My inspiration for this was thinking about how many people don't accept themselves how they are; not necessarily because they are bad, or don't like being good, or even not being good enough. But I feel like their intern conflicts outcast their real self, and their own brightness.
I think it's awesome to be able to look at yourself and fully embrace what and who you are, with all your mightyness. Just be comfortable being you. Accepting the different sides of oneself doesn't mean being a hypocrite.
That is my love message, I guess.

On a side note, I've adopted a kitten! He was a stray cat that randomly appeared and I decided to keep XD
It was my dream to own a cat! *u* And it's just like I dreamed it would be, hahahah. I consider myself a feline person~ Call me silly, but my zodiac is Leo and my chinese horoscope is Tiger! Rawr! hahah
Actually it's easier to look after a cat than I thought it would be! XD
He's super cuddly and loves to chase after paper balls. He also comes when I call him, he's hilarious.

Bye byeee
