Finished that thing from the other day. It... actually, it was very nice to me the whole time. I'd forgotten what it was like not to have to fight a picture the whole way through. I wish they were all this placid and cooperative.

Pritties, but I get the urge to force it into photoshop and make that yellowness go away... But yes, pritty sketch and pritty boy. It's fun saying pritty.

Wait. I'm NOT LOGGED IN? Wtf? I'm always logged in... O__o

[kokiri85]

...yellowness? In my eyes it leans more towards blue than anything else.

grr, unless you mean that bit on his arm. Which I did edit a bit, and remember being less obvious than it now appears.

[empressgeorge]

There is a kind of yellow cast to the right side of the picture - is that visible on the actual drawing, or is it an artifact from the scanner?

[kokiri85]

Scanner. I hate my scanner.

Have I mentioned before that it also skews things too long? I hate it, because it's the kind of small thing you don't notice right away, until you post it and really look at it a day later and wow, his head's too thin.

[harbek]

It's not just a bit, it's like, his whole arm is YELLOW. The rest leans to blue, yes, but his whole arm is yellow. It's not hard to fix though. Takes like two seconds with 'colourise.

All gone. Now that bit is just a tad darker than the rest. Which is also easily fixable...

[harbek]

Okay, so I meant to do a [img src=link] instead of [a href=link] but whatever, that works too.

[kokiri85]

I DID mess with it. I spent forever fixing the darkening that always appears on that side of the page without losing the detail of the drawing, trying to make it match. And it's still wrong.

I should have just grayscaled the stupid thing. Ugh, now I'm in a bad mood again -___- I finally draw something halfway decent, and I scan it incompetently. I hate myself and give up on life.

*overcomes autopilot I-hate-myself-and-wish-I-were-dead response to criticism and stops being such a total loser*

I messed with it a bit. Better?

[kokiri85]

Or does it look too blue now? *squints* God, I can't see it anymore, I've been staring at it too long.

[harbek]

DD: Don't do that. I have an evil scanner too, I know what it's like. There's this sticky stuff and the top that I've tried washing off, but it won't go away, and it leaves all these dark marks on the top of the page, and I have to edit them away for ages... Believe me, I feel your pain.

[kokiri85]

I should have fixed it. If it's that easy?

Anyway, I always react like that to anything remotely critical. I can't seem to help it. One of my more charming personality deficiencies quirks. Usually I manage to hide it better, I'm just leaking badly today.

-_- Maybe because I still have to start homework that's due tomorrow, but I can't get myself to do it. Stress makes me extra leaky.

[harbek]

I don't mind if you leak. Actually I'd rather if you did. Bottling up stuff is never good anyways.

Well, the yellow part was simple, but it's only simple if you've done it before. And it wasn't critical, it was suggesting. ... Okay, so I guess it's kinda the same thing. Anyways. I need to finish various drawings and stuff too (only one for school though), and I can't get myself to either.

[kokiri85]

I... don't really believe that.

Ugh, drawing homework. There is so much I ought to be working on right now. But it isn't due for a while, so I forget about it and let it all build up until the days right before. I hate when teachers in general give you big assignments with far away due dates, because I'm not organized/motivated/whatever enough to actually use all the time.

[harbek]

Well, okay, but I do talk from experience.

Oh, gosh. I hate that too. And even when we get lots of time to work on it at school, I sorta think "Ah, I still have loads of time left." for the longest time, and I make it too complicated so that I can't finish in time. And I simple... I don't have the self-discipline/motivation to actually work on stuff at home.

[kokiri85]

Well, so do I. Personally I have never found talking things out, admitting to feelings, made anything better. It just gives me something extra to worry over, about how the receiver will react.

Oh yes, making it too complicated. So often I could finish my art assignments without so much trouble, if only I'd just stop obsessing about things. I do work "at home" alot, if you count working in my dorm. I like to work alone in a private area when I can, because the privacy relaxes me a bit and I don't feel so bad if it doesn't look good right away. When I took an assignment home for spring break once, though, I didn't touch it all week.
