Sketch + Quotes

I've added another daily quote widget at the bottom of the screen, I hope it actually works this time. I got it from Widgetbox. So many cool things there! >.<



And a sketch!




This is not my usual style, I went for a really anime-ish feel instead. He's cute! I'll put the coloured version I did on dA and link to it later.

D'oh!

Yeah, I forgot to mention: we are moving back to Canada! I am so happy! >3<


We're going this summer, after my school work is over, end of June. I won't be able to update this blog for awhile till we get a computer, unfortunately. D: I really do hope to get that watercolour done by then.


I also pre-ordered this fantastical thing the other day. It's my favourite shounen-ai webcomic. I totally did the pre-order just to get the free postcard. I am a hopeless loser when it comes to HoneySyn. T^T Go buy one and spread the lurv! (Although I highly doubt the thing needs advertising, it's crazy popular already. :P)

Look, Mom! Colour!

EDIT: In future, most of my colour stuff will go on my new deviantART page. I'll put a link up here when I've edited it to my liking. This is my sketchblog/personal blog where I can ramble about odd things and post half-finished stuff.



I was fiddling in PS Elements when I was supposed to be doing schoolwork, and I realized something - something very obvious. If you make a layer over top of the sketch/lineart, and adjust the layer's opacity to about sixty-odd percent, you can achieve a very free-flowing relatively easy colour job when you paint. I think it's about as good as I'm going to get without tracing all the lines in black. I'm pleased. ^_^



So I tried it out on this sketch:

It reminds me very much of this piece, and I love that style. It'll tide me over until I get PS CS, or a tablet. :D Excuse the crappiness, it's only a tester.
