Oh, by the way.

Remember way back a long time ago when I said I started my first canvas work? Yeah, I'm still working on it. But it looks a lot better now than it did when I first started writing about it.

Before you look at the photos, please have mercy on the fact that it's my first time using canvas AND my first "real" acrylic paint work, as well (might as well kill two birds with one stone, right?).


It's bad, isn't it?

Like, really bad.

You should have seen it yesterday LOL.

In the right lighting it looks...decent... D:

The entire base coloring is done with oil and chalk pastels. I tried painting over it on the body but...you can see how that turned out. Not to mention the ugly shading attempt on the shoulder/neck/breast area.

What is it with me and naked ladies, jeez.

It's time for me to go to bed. :c

Buri Hamachi

I've seen a couple different versions of this video: -LINK-
Despite the fact that I have to get all OMG SUPER-HUGE SHOUJO EYES about it (I've been working so hard to get out of that style...), I think it's a good project to work on in order to get myself back in animation.
Obviously, it's nowhere near being finished. What you see is what I've got. I only have the lineart for three frames out of seven. So I just need to finish up drawing the frames and then color them. Then arrange it according to the video pattern. And upload it, and yay, it'll be done!

Eugh, I hate my digital art. Things would be so much easier if my version of Photoshop had the pen tool. ;A; But it doesn't, so lineart takes forever. Sob.
I may or may not decide to stay up late tonight to finish it. I feel like if I take too long of a break, I'll just give up on it. OTL

In other news.

I just spent almost $100 on art supplies today. Correction, on canvas, an easel, and a portfolio tote bag. If the items were regular price, I would have spent over $200. But the art store (it was my first time going to this place, it's really cool!) was having a huge sale. Buy one canvas and get 2 free. How could you pass that up?

Even though I have 5 canvases, I haven't used any of them yet. ._.; I'm...kind of scared to. Two of them are the same size, so at least if I mess up on one, I still have the other one.

Oh, this easel I bought...♥♥♥
It's wonderful. I've never had a "real" easel before now. I used to have a plastic one when I was little, for my crayon drawings and such. ;)
This easel would normally cost around $80, but I got it for less than $50 because of the sale.


Sorry about the crappy photos. I plan on getting a new camera sometime over the summer.
(It didn't come with the canvas, btw, I just put it there to test out the clamps and such)

I love this easel so much. It's adjustable and it also has a little drawer on the bottom for supplies. :D

Okay, well, this post is long enough, so I'm going to wrap it up now and work on my Buri Hamachi. Bye~
