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.

Minor Irritation

I did have this cool daily-quote contraption set up at the bottom of the page, but it's the same quote every day. So that's gone. Off to find a decent one...


Art will come soon. Seriously.

Back to Normal

Mom came back on Wednesday, so things are returning to normal. I can now buckle down and do my work without worrying about what the little things. Moms must have a built-in reminder system, because I can't remember to do certain things like take food out of the freezer to defrost but mom remembers millions of things like that. I'm going to be a social hazard when I go to university. DX


I had the opportunity to do a quick sketchy a couple of days ago:

I think it's probably the most 'realistic' I can draw. Again, I'm a complete sucker for profiles. It's actually a guy I'm quite pleased with, for a change. I do hate his ear; I can't draw ears to save my life. I'm hoping to work on that watercolour sketch soon. Most work on the art front has ground to a halt, loathe as I am to admit it. Any free time I have is wasted watching House M.D. reruns, or sleeping.

Speaking of House M.D.: the 'new' episodes are coming out at a slower rate here than in North America, so we just watched the first episode with the Kutner-Thirteen-Taub-Foreman group. Amber got cut last week. Thanks to the copious amount of spoilers, and because I'm weak when it comes to them, I now know what happened in the finale. I can't believe Amber died. I'm on tenterhooks about Wilson and House's relationship, I hope it doesn't get too rocky. Their friendship is the main reason I watch the show. They're so wonderful to watch interact! I hope the next season comes out soon. ;_; Although I read somewhere that they're already filming it, so that's a good sign.
