宵々古今

Wanted to draw my old OC Coconut, but as a mermaid.
Also tried to draw iridescent effect? How does one even?

This was very much a, "JUST DRAW SOMETHING... YEAH THAT'LL DO, I GUESS" -mood.

Overview:

• wanted to draw something more than just a head. Wow. a torso.
• very stiff pose. work on drawing loose sketches with less rigid lines
• wanted to have minimal, accented blue. limit the range of the colours.

I hate it, but, it's something. I have to churn out the shit to get better. My hand actually started to feel tired mid-way through colouring. That's.... not good. How rusty I hath become.

Girl

Yellow Diamond is my diamond.

Steven Universe continues to be a groundbreaking cartoon about diversity, love, friendship, and overcoming adversity.
...and it's full of that good, gay shit.
We saw some good shit on the season 5 finale. Y'know, only cried a few times.

All The Stars

I've been trying to smash this out for a while. Listening to a particular song, it can make you feel a certain way. This song makes me at times hopeful and excited, then other times sad.
I didn't really know what I wanted to draw. A figure reaching towards the stars, somehow elevated so that they were closer and within reach of them? Idk.

I want to express that today was an okay day. Also a gloomy day. 

どうしよう

最近ちょっと悲しい．．．
毎年のいつも道理
but I feel the old me come back a little bit, art-wise today.

Perfect Moment

I have made a return to tumblr to post some of my art.
And just my luck, the site is removing their nsfw tag in just under a week. heck.
But! What I have posted so far has gotten me more attention than what I've been posting to deviantart for years. It feels... nice.

I wish I was as creative as I was while in high school. I feel like I had interesting ideas, nothing like the things I've come up with over the past few years. I thought it was art block that I've been struck with when I started studying after graduating, but maybe I outgrew the spark. I decided a while ago that I can't pursue art professionally, it can only be a hobby for me, but I still want it to be good.
My understanding of anatomy has really gone to shit. If I'm going to be living in Ballarat I really want to find a life drawing class. I don't want to get lazy about it, but I have to put it in the "shit to look into in 2019" pile and deal with that later.

POP/STARS

Yes. I too can't stop listening and watching the clip for POP/STARS.

It came out over a week ago and I've watched my newsfeed on fb flooded with fanart. I've been away in Japan for the past two weeks and away from my PC. It's always when I don't have my tablet within reach when the inspiration hits.

So obviously my goal of getting 100 DDs done this year is impossible. The best I can try for is 20, which is achievable, I think?

Ahh. Japan, tho.
Staying there always gets me into a good routine. I probably owe that to my grandparents who are always doing something at every time slot during the day, no time for laziness. It's great.
