So yesterday in the aerosol lab (yes I take a lab course every semester. they're fun!) I happened to sit right there in/under a draft - as a result of that, my upper shoulder area and back of the neck are all tense and painful. Thus, most head movements result in silly head twitching. (one of the reasons why I strongly dislike air conditioning) I just hope it's not that obvious, otherise I must've made a reeeaally bad impression when travelling to and from university, me with my skeleton hand
It's about the only thing I can still do whenever having a headache. Because while any kind of screen will make it worse, good old-fashioned ink on paper does not have any negative effects. Otherwise I would probably have been very bored yesterday.
Woot. I also realized that the only colour I haven't got in huge marker form is ochre, which is a staple for colouring, 'specially hair and stuff. :< E: okay, this is ridiculous. Now my ears are stinging too. I really don't want to fall ill! D:
On my recent trip down memory lane I came across a myriad of long forgotten stuff - among other things, the two-page comic Doubt that I drew back in 2014, coincidentally also in November. It's weird that this was six years ago, it still feels extremely recent - especially because I can clearly remember sitting in a park outside drawing some of the panels with freezing fingers. Idk why my younger self thought that was a good idea.
Doubt was an interesting experiment, though, because I decide
Just a bunch of small pictures I sketched up (more or less) recently - hopefully 2016 will finally be the year where I do more concept art-y stuff, because I think it's amazing and I don't want to be the person that can draw only pretty faces. D: That one's actually pretty nice if you ignore that I messed up the temple-thingie in the background - after all, it looks more like some odd giant tortoise now. Which is okay too, but not what I had originally been going for xD I'm also stil
If anyone has advice on how to motivate yourself to work out more, do let me know! At the moment I can only bring myself to do so once a week*, and that's not really satisfying at all. :/ *actually I do sport twice a week, but the other time is in a martial arts/self defense club (jujitsu. It's fun :3), with membership and all, so that's a different kind of thing for I can't really go all like "but I don't feeeeel like it today D: "
looks like I might fall ill right before a presentation again... last time it was a sore throat right on presentation day. Now tomorrow I'm due for another one, and am feeling very unwell again. Hopefully it will pass by...
... okay I did not know that links are embedded these days. That's fancy. Anyway, posted some artworks in GA, if anyone is interested in that but, like me, does not check the artwork forum every other day ^^'
Tried a small thing with coloured pencils, and it'S starting to work for me again, if I hold the pencil differently than what I am used to apply less pressure per layer go super slow and take breaks aka I need to be extremely cautious, so it's not back to everyday medium again - but it's improving and I am happy about it.
aka I've been terribly inactive around here since the beginning of september obviously the reason is the same as always: university. At some point I will hopefully learn that if I delay an exam for an entire semester, I might as well take the corresponding course again. Even if I studied a month (aka, september). Apart from failing said exam, nothing much has happened. Drawn some stuff, worried a bit too much about things I can't change anyway, edged away from most social contacts (including
In case anyone was wondering what exactly my banner was... there you go ^^
(idk about the title for this blog entry. it feels strangely familiar, so I might've chosen it in the past. ^^)
You have to clean them. All. The. Time. Every other day, almost. Or you wait for weeks until they are so covered in dust that your vision is somewhat obstructed, then marvel at the freshly cleaned vision, then forget again. Either way, it's far from perfect. :3
So this day started with a 3-hour power outage. (okay, maybe "started" is not completely right because it happened right after breakfast. At least I still got my coffee first, would have been unbearable otherwise ^^) Which was actually quite funny because eventually my sister, mother and I all ended up in the living room, crocheting. But also teaches you something about how much we are actually dependent on electricity and also technology these days... and that I'm just really glad we have a g
'tis filled with many sketches... all of them done in the 2 minutes when I've finished an exercise before the others and timne's not worth starting a real piece of art...
this one's actually my favourite. ^^
I was 13 when I signed up on BZPower, and have been here ever since. That any of you who have known me since 2007 can still take me seriously is kind of a mystery to me, to be honest. (as of writing this entry, the spinny is still the 8-year-thingie, though. Funny, I guess it's due to time zones or whatever. ^^ Assuming the date displayed in the profile as "member since" is correct, obviously.)
I am no longer one of the hip, active, younger members of the site. That's a pity. I feel old. :< (in other words: I suddenly miss being 13. That was ~9 years ago. 9! years!! how? D: )
still trying to rearrange my life after last year, and while some things are getting better it still feels like I'm struggling most of the time. At this point I'm seriously wondering whether I had a burnout of some sorts or why else it is all so much for me.
Art-wise it's going okay, though. That's at least something.
I am gone for one time, and G2 ends? Well that's great news. Apart from that, how's everyone been? What else 'did I miss out on, how's summer been for all of you (as in, the 3? people who still read this blog) so far?
