[personal] May the 5th,
It's been a long time since I've updated this journal so I'd just post a few relevant and recent affairs.
Anyway, it's not habit for me to actually update this journal too.
Well as most have been following up, it's Hibari's birthday today, and so despite my ridiculous schedule, I still felt obliged to
draw something. Would've wanted to include Dino in the picture but oh well time is short.
[EDITED: Removed the background]
I suppose that I like the hair but background wise, I've always been really weak at it.
This is my second attempt painting on PS5, so let that go.
The original lineart in just black and white (posted on twitter) looks better though.
Colouring ruins everything. You can say that I was lazy too.
I've always been treating my livejournal like an art dumb site so I'd just dump some stuff I've been doing for the past few weeks/months.
First attempt with Copic Markers.
There's hardly every any time to draw leisure stuff and this may come of as rather depressing,
because for most of the entire three weeks, we've done nothing but drawings of cubes, cones, cylinders, eclipses
and all sorts of other fundamental stuff.
Which can be rather frustrating, given that everyone's forced to use wooden pencils
(I really hate using that thing because I'm so not a fine arts student),
and then sitting on this high chair to sketch from an easel-- really is torture.
Suppose let's say that I've made the easel my new found enemy.
(honestly why can't they just provide us with a simple table and chair I swear they're even cheaper than those damn easels)
I've been finding myself sleeping past 12am everyday-- school ends rather late, I'd rush home to draw
those stupid little cubes and cars and then I'd spend a few hours studying anatomy books
that I've borrowed from the school library.
Actually, humanoid figure drawing shall be taught next year (it's a year 2 module),
but being so competitive is so typical of me, I just had to start early, whether or not it's even in the current syllabus or not.
Then again, there's a load of freaking talented people in this year's batch, and I cannot lose out.
Well at least there's some really amusing happenings.
Such as one of my lecturers looking so much like TAKAHIRO SAKURAI,
in which Yan and I were being so entertained by this:
God, the resemblance kills, honestly.
But at least, this eye candy of a lecturer's a really nice guy.
As of currently, I'm staying alone at home, which really is a relief not having my parents around,
apparently they went for a trip to China, and I'm just sitting here being hardworking and not going anyway.
This is my Studio Project, that's supposed to be an animated black/white clip
based on the story of The Little Prince in my own interpretation.
I never really liked that story though, since I couldn't really understand
The Little Prince's bipolar tendencies coupled with The Rose's tsundere-ness and all.
Just going to do something about their fixation problems.
(everybody's doing the Little Prince too
because it gives them the excuse to draw a shotacon character)
More self study work, and then the collage at the back of my file~~
I'd really wish that the lecturers start teaching more about animal and human body anatomy,
instead of me having to go and self-teach myself everything.
Oh, and digital art and photoshop painting would be taught in year three (2 years from now),
and here I am sitting here slowly becoming friends with PS5 painting already.
Anyway, the only thing I've been really morose about is SUPER COMIC CITY 21.
And how I'm unable to attend it.
And how I won't get to meet my idols in the next 5-6 years (who knows they might be gone by then).
And everything else about why my life sucks.
